As a Bulls fan, They were a great team, a team that only comes along once in a while. I watched that series and knew they were robbed. Anyone with common sense knows they would have won game 6 and gone on to beat the Nets in the Finals. The Nets didn't even come close to the caliber that that Kings team was. Chris Webber, Mike Bibby, Peja Stojakovic, Vlade Divac, Bobby Jackson, Doug Christie, Hedo Turkoglu, and the all the rest, you are the true champions.
C.Webb on of the best PF, Peja one of the best 3point shooters, Vlade one of the Genius of basketball, Mike Bibby best teammate, Bobby Jackson best 6th man, Doug Christie one of the best defenders, Hedo Turkoglu the clutch player, Scot Polard master of dirty plays what can i say ... this team was one of a kind.2002 champs
i think the fact that the lakers fans rub it in our faces about that series is just ignorant. if there is a fixed game, the team that eventually comes out as the winner does not deserve it period. also, one fixed game means that any integrity in the league is null and void. unless the league comes out about the fixed games and draft lotteries, all of it is one giant fix in my mind. i am not just referring to just the kings either. they weren't the only victims of the league.
@TurtlesAtWalmart I can see some similarities although that 02 Kings team was much more overall skilled. Pretty much every single player that stepped on the court for them could flat out shoot the ball and pass. Not sure if any team is like that. Also as far as the PGs, it would be Bibby and 6th man of the year Jackson. J-Will was traded for Bibby and he wasn't on the 02 team.
Anyway, still boggles my mind that group never won a title. Just too much controversy and bad luck with injuries
God damn i miss this team...I think the biggest mistake the Kings ever made was getting rid of Rick Adleman after he brought the team to the fucking conference finals. Then they proceeded to make some of the worst trades in history. The Maloof's are a couple of idiots if you ask me.
in the 2002 WCF, there was a statement by i believe webber saying it already felt like they had won 5 games by game 7. that was a truthful statement. the only game they lost was game 1, they outplayed the lakers throughout the series. im positive as soon as the NBA goes under new management justice will be served
Here's the FT stats for each game prior to game 6:
G1: LA 16-22 Sac 16-17
G2: Sac 23-38 LA 15-25
G3: Sac 21-35 LA 8-15
G4: LA 18-27 Sac 18-26
G5: Sac 22-33 LA 17-23
Looks to me that the refs were favoring the kings from game 2 thru 5! If the kings had not of choked a 20+ point lead in game 4, series would of been over in game 5. Game 6 was the only game in the series the Lakers shot 10+ more FTs, while the kings shot that amount in games 2, 3 & 5!
@DoomDarenxbourg Please go and watch the games before you make a stupid comment like that, numbers have never told the whole story. Anyway your initial point is stupid, the Lakers simply fouled more, does it not seem weird that the Kings would suddenly commit that many fouls in game 6?
@chekmate58 I don't have to go back & watch the games, I have the stats. The kings shot 37 more FTs than the Lakers prior to game 6! The refs clearly were favoring the kings from games 2-5! In game 2, the kings shot 38 FTs to the Lakers 25! kings win by 6! In game 5, the kings shoot 10 more FTs than the Lakers, Shaq shoots only 1 FT for the whole game & fouls out, kings win by a point! Game 6 & 7 were not the reason the kings lost the series, it was their game 4 choke!
@DoomDarenxbourg Well said. Agreed...the Kings have nobody to blame but themselves. Even after losing game 6 they had the final game AT HOME! No excuses Kings fans....no excuses.
Im glad the NBA is on again. But am I still pissed that the league sabatoged the Kings chances of going to the Finals that year, you bet. Their should not have been a Game 7 in the 2002 WCF, that series ended in the Game 6. No wonder Shaq was so cocky and arrogant when the series was over.
@RockerDude899 Here's a quote from kings center vlade divac earlier that season: "If the Lakers don't have home-court advantage, they're not going to win it this year". Phil Jackson taped that quote on Shaq's locker before game 1. Divac was talking shit & Shaq responded
@ourWorldWideWEED no. The Refs are why. Sacramento played better for the entirety of the WCF against the Lakers, but the calls against them were insane and death dealing, such as their centers getting fouled out, or 3 of their 5 starters getting fouled out.
Clear the haters on here don't understand basketball. Vlade was an All Star that year - you wold have flopped sooner than he did if you had to guard Shaq and he threw elbows at you. 2002 NBA champs were the Kings. They could have had the All-star team and it wouldn't have been enough. Crazy train if you watched the playoffs that year you know your example is horse shit. Dallas played better than the Lakers- Just like the Kings in 2002. If you seriously think the Lakers won legit; delusional.
Wow, y'all dwell. How about focusing on making your team better instead of crying about what didn't happen and what you think should've happened. You don't see Laker fans saying "We are the true 2010-2011 Champions, fuck you Dallas," and you don't see Celtics or Heat fans crying about not winning. You guys are still stuck in the past because you haven't had a team since 2004. This is why when you ask an average person about their opinion about the Sacramento Kings they say, "The Sacramento Who?"
A true mix of style and finesse, two serbs, a turk and god knows what bibby and christie are with C-Webb, and a bunch of great all american kids, the nba preaches unity then they rob this squad which worked hard, because they had unfavourable euro players. FUCK YOU DAVID STERN YOU PIECE OF SHIT, YOU DESTROYED THE NBA
we also had Bobby Jackson, the spark plug off the bench, Hedo who gave more 3 pt shooting and Scott Pollard who did all the dirty work down in the paint.
the good ole days. hands down the best team ive ever seen step on the court. this team not only played well they brought the city of sacramento together. damn shame they were robbed. KINGS FAN FOR LIFE
I'm not from us but I remember those games I watched their every match and J believed they would win a championship, then I could not believe what I'm seeing these guys in the finals they have left their heart on the field. But judges are stealing them and they was provoked by the lakers players.
For me they are real champions SACRAMENTO KINGS!!!!!!
who the hell was that at 3:20? Besides that, this is a heartbreaking video about my favorite team who were ROBBED of a well deserved championship. Awesome team! Just awesome!
guys... if you are in sac. support the 2012 team. this team is gonna be crazy
reke/dmc/jimmer/hayes/hickson/thornton
come to the games, be loud as hell, support the kings because this may possibly be our last season here. unless we can show support and motivate our new lineup to play their hearts out. this 2012 roster has gotta be the best kings roster and is definitely playoff material. it may not be our 01-02 kings but this is now our 11-12 kings. HERE WE RISE
I nearly cry every time i see this team. It was such a great team, the definition of what a basketball team should be. Its not about the big markets, the money, or fame. They had team work and heart. I don't think i will ever be able to forget what we could of had. The NBA screwed this team over!!! 2001-2002 KINGS FOR LIFE!
@SpiffDogVideos Same here... But, whenever i see this video i remember why i stayed up every night (time difference) and why they were my heroes. It just makes me realize that memories of what they had back then no one could ever take away from them or from us.So what if their greatness can't be translated into titles and championship rings?! The game has never looked more beautiful and the spirit of it never more alive! PROUD FAN ALWAYS!
When I watch their faces, smiling and working hard together... I don't know if is my mind or my heart, but I simply can't believe they didn't win the championship. They were the true champions.
