NBA on NBC - 2002 Lakers @ Kings, game 5 - 2/2

[mohican19831]

hHAHAHH MIKE BIBBY LITTLE MINI ME

[amadeushover1]

cross body block? give me a damn break. more like derrick fisher acting like he got shot when he realizes he wasn't going to be able to get through the screen. derrick fisher; spineless pos for over 14 years. and i completely agree with jobsron. nba refs gifted the lakers a championship that year.

[2pacisthebest90]

horrible calls this game..they gave sac game 5 than gave la game 6.. they knew they fucked la up with this was there game clearly off webber.. and shaq fouled out on phanton calls get over it queen fans

[Magic32Rice80]

Game 6 was just justice for all the bad calls late in this game which cost la a win. Then in Game 7 Kings missed like what 14 free throws?

Kings real 2002 champs.. MY ASS

[gcolvin217]

jackson fouled kobe, bibby traveled, ball was out on webber... kings got a zillion calls, stop whining about game 6, make some damn free throws in game 7 and maybe you could win. damn choke artists still whining 9 years later, lol

[BIB10100]

@gcolvin217 Bibby didnt travel. Thats all im sayin

[ironmagic32]

This game was giving to the Kings.

Game 6 NBA wanted to extend the series.

Game 7 was choked by the Kings...

[Muzikrazy213]

@brandonreal33 but hey in the end we still won it all

[KesterBros]

home team gets the calls in every playoff game. has there ever been a game where fans havent complained about officiating? the only reason game 6 in 2002 gets more attention than any other is because it involved the LA Lakers and everyone wanted them to lose. Except us Lakers fans of course :)

[DoomDarenxbourg]

Funny thing is if it was jordan & the bulls that were playing the kings in this series, you wouldnt here SHIT about game 6! They would of just took it in the ass & let jordan get the glory. The Lakers are hated everywhere outside LA, so its only natural. Lakers going for #18 next year!

[ThaShark316]

I thought this series was over after game 5 because of the way the Kings played for 7 qtrs @ Staples...if you weren't a Laker fan, you thought the same basically.

[machina21]

Funny how nobody talks about that but no "series was rigged" blah blah and all that bullshit. Not to mention the freethrow disparity in game 3. Does any one say anything then? Why? Because all this "league favors the Lakers" nonsense is said by jealous ass fans who can't pull their heads out of their asses. And these fools look to Tim Freaking Donaghy as a paragon of truth?

Please.

Kings choked when it mattered most. Lakers for Life. 7 years later and haters are still choking on the haterade

[DeTermine]

machina21 you are either turkish or retarded.

[barkingclam]

I wonder sometimes if it was a makeup call for the end of game four. But really both teams got more then a few breaks. I think it was a lousy reffing job more then anything.

[lishsc3]

@barkingclam What About Game 4? Walkers 3 pointer at the end of the first half CLEARLY DID NOT beat the buzzer, and the refs KNEW IT!! Then game 6 was obviously fixed as it came out later! 29 Lakers free throws.....IN THE 4TH QUARTER ALONE!! You can't change history on paper, but there is NO DOUGHT the Kings had the best team that year!! It's too bad they were robbed of having the trophey to go along with it!!

[dynastykid03]

Ur right, the Kings dont have rapers, but they dont have winners either.

[Weber562]

Man do I love Arco Arena.

[mbjm36]

i hate it when mike bibby claims he's black, look at him! (btw i wanted the kings to win, pussy lakers)

[SEXYNIGGA6969]

bibby is black his dad is black... wen he grows his hair out you can tale

[groove2227721]

Nice moving screen there Webber. Look at Sactown. We're the champs! We're the champs! Oh we gotta play Game 6? Ha ha! Wankers. Love the way Rick Fox and D Fish are laughing their asses off in Game 7. Lol.

[Weber562]

I guees it takes a bunch of pussy floppers to win anyways, like d the squirming fish and Robert the little shot Horry.

[barkingclam]

Bitter much?

[groove2227721]

Haters never admit they can't get a model girlfriend. They always hate on the dude who has one. Haters never admit they can't beat you. They always complain the refs took it from them. Horry got seven rings and D Fish got four. Mark Madsen has more championships that the ENTIRE queens organization. Maybe --- follow me here --- just maybe... there's something wrong with the queens and not the Lakers. Just a thought.

[Weber562]

At least the Kings don't have a raper in their organization, you Laker fans make me laugh not because your funny but because your pathetic.

[groove2227721]

You talking about Jason Thompson? He was a Queen. And was accused of rape. Dumb ass Queens fans. Talk shit about the Lakers and don't even realize you got a "raper" (don't you mean rapist, numnuts?) in your own organization. So Sad. I hope they move the organization to Las Vegas. Cause at least I'll have something to do after watching the Lakers beat that ass. Instead of going cow tippin' in Sactown. Queens = Cincinnati Bengals of the NBA.

[barkingclam]

woah, easy tiger

[yokosfinest69]

I know you're on kobe's nuts, but the lakers didn't deserve back to back titles...it was a good series that was leveraged by a shady ref. let me see what kinda excuses you got for this one...and don't bring that sorry ass vlade tipped the ball to horry B.S...one play doesn't overthrow a whole games' worth of bad officiating.

[groove2227721]

Sigh. Accusing people of gay shit on the internet is sooooo 2002. Think of some original shit, homie. The Kings lost cause they couldn't make free throws, couldn't play defense and got outclassed by a championship team. It was no surprise they choked on the biggest stage. You can go ahead and blame the refs if you want. But the Lakers came back and won the title again the next year and last year. Even their WNBA team got rings before they did. Kings = FAIL.

[HeadlessEye]

"I guess it takes a bunch of pussy floppers to win anyways"

Unless that pussy flopper's name is Vlade Divac.

[Savraj1]

Fisher crumples to the floor off the screen. Lmao.

[labulldog5]

boy o boy, did the kings ever blow this series

[lishsc3]

Listen all of you......REFS CONTROL THE GAME!!!! The players control it to an extent, but it's the refs who have ultimate control. Why is something a foul in the first half, but never a foul late in the game? Or the other way around? Why could Jordan get in a refs face and yell and scream and NEVER be thrown out when Dennis Rodman or Rasheed Wallace would be tossed just for looking at the ref? BECAUSE THE REFS CONTROL THE GAME. They can call a foul whenever they want! It just depends who it is.

[TeamDime7]

Ya when lakers fans bitch about a call in this game, it shows you how much they would be bitching if they had a championship stolen from them like the kings did. I can understand why kings fans bitch about this till this day because they had to see several fucked up calls against there team to make sure they would lose. They got the right to bitch because that's the most fucked up thing ever.laker fans say get over it but they would be sayin the same shit to this day if it happend to them.

[barkingclam]

what?

[salgeezy]

KIngs fans bitch about this 'til this day because the Kings haven't done anything since. They won this game and took a 3-2 lead in the series. All they had to do was win 1 more game but instead dropped the next 2. Don't hate the Lakers. Hate the Kings organization for not giving you something else to talk about since '02. "Keep on movin', don't stop NO! Yellow is the color of sun rays" Go Lakers!

[mohamedak47warrior]

no you Fail Why do the kings have to win 5 games Game 6 was clearly there shaq had 17 lane violations which were not called in game 6 13-17.... game 7 shaq had 15 lane violations 11-15 ... if those lane violations were called it would have been over in game 6 ... if not Game 7 would never went to overtime

[salgeezy]

Exactly what I said.. Hate the Kings organization for not giving you something else to talk about since '02. Lane violations? You're talking about lane violations? What else is there to say about the Kings after that series. Nothing. That's why you replied about "lane violations." Get over it. Playoffs start today and once again NO kings. I guess you'll be talking about "lane violations" for another year. I just got 1 more thing to say about this. Lottery. Keep it movin'!

[mohamedak47warrior]

im just saying that was the Kings time to win and they got ripped off by Ref's not making the right calls & making up calls

[barkingclam]

They had all of game six and seven to win, they just weren't good enough. It's as simple as that; in a seven game series the best team is almost always the one that wins.

[mohamedak47warrior]

why should they have to win 5 games?

game 6 was theirs and it is untill now " the worst officiated game" they wanted a game 7 when there shoudnt have been one ... Tim donaghy said it himself ... They lost because of the ref's

[barkingclam]

Maybe its me, but I think it's foolish to take anything said by Donaghy too seriously. If he told me it was raining outside I'd go outside and check.

[bjoy1977]

Except this time

[bjoy1977]

Lottery sure worked out.........now we'll get to knock you off your mountain once and for all. You guys keep being the dominant big market team, but Kings WILL knock you guys off within the next two seasons and it will be fun!!!

[shakaku9121]

really in game 7 I knew sacramento lost the game by their selfs but shaq did had 17 lane violations in game 6

[vladimir4200]

its kind o hard to forget bibby getting smashed in the face with an elbow and having no foul called on kobe.

[salgeezy]

Tim Donaghy? I can't believe you would bring his name up, as if he's credible Moham.

Bibby plays for the Hawks now Vlad, Get over it already jeez...

[richaznboisd]

Haha losers... The Bulls got a lot of calls in their run, like in game 6 vs the Jazz in 98 with the Eisley 3 and Ron Harper's shot, but no one gives them crap like they do the Lakers. You all hate the Lakers cuz we are one of the greatest franchises in all of sports, suck it haters. 3 straight titles for LA, 0 for the Kings!

[SepoTube]

I don't understand how one questionable 'out of bounds' ruling on Webber equates to the numerous bad calls in game 6?

Call it Laker mathematics.

[shakaku9121]

or the travels by the lakers in game 6 were not called

[JTastay7]

Bullshit this game wasnt fuckin rigged, pathetic laker fans always try n say this one was rigged too in favor of the kings but no games were rigged n favor of the kings. game 6 was rigged. thats it. they jus cant get past the fact that their gayass team wins fake championships n gets games rigged for them. Sacramento owned them and their never should have been a game 7.

[BetterDoYourHomeWork]

Are pussy Kings fans STILL crying about this? Face it. Kings suck and ALWAYS will suck. That's why you are DEAD last in the NBA right now.

[AGdiddy91]

the best nba series this decade, period, whether your a kings or lakers fan it doesnt matter, it was one unbelievable series, but hands off to LA, they were mentally tougher than the kings

[BabySpit]

so what? kings got away with the lame out of bound call at 44 seconds which basically gave them the win. it's only fair you give one to the lakers and give them game 7 to decided it. kings couldn't do it, at arco arena.

[Monkija]

the biggest win in kings franchise history.. how sad :)

[LuigiLaker]

No, that would be their 1951 world title.. (as the Rochester Royals, go figure) this was the franchises' biggest win in the 51 years since that time..

[LuigiLaker]

and yes, still very sad! =)

[Monkija]

you're right, my deepest apologies. i still honestly believe that they celebrated this victory more than they did that world title in 51, but who knows :)

[BourneCubed]

Bryant should have passed it to Horry. Guaranteed win

[mivado]

wow, c-webb really had problems in the crunch time

mike bibby saved his ass in this game

[mikebibbyfan01]

bibby is the shit

and owned the lakers all series.

he would have been mvp if they would have gone past this scandal of game 6

lakers are a bullshit team

and i dont respect them because they are all trash talkers

[paperboy215]

the refs cheated l.a. in this game. webber obviouslt touched the ball last but the kings got it back. also bibby traveled at 33 secs

[nascarkraz]

are ya frickin' kidding me??? Like the fakers never cheated? LOL

[jobsron]

mention game 6, and laker fans always point to this game as favoring the kings. after watching part 1 and 2 of this video, i don't see any evidence. there's maybe one questionable call (did the ball go off webber's hand or horry

s leg? i can't tell; it's a bad angle), but there's no way you can compare ONE call to an ENTIRE game 6.

[th13182]

What are the specific bad calls in Game 6? Peoplel mention the Kings front court had 20 fouls. Guess what, they were guarding Shaq. Bibby hugs Kobe and gets caught wiht an elbow and it's supposed to be an offensive foul? It's basketball!

If you were picky about this game: Webber touched ball last, Webber set moving screen to free up Bibby, Kobe got hit on the last second shot.

If you can say game 6 was rigged, people could say game 5 was as well.

Bad officiating sucks, but fans are worse!

[shakaku9121]

shaq went to the foul line in game 6 17 times for a king to look at shaq

[davidp899]

@jobsron lol ya webbers pick wasn't a foul at all. idiot

[chrisdofer320]

@davidp899 Of course Webber's pick wasn't a foul, Derek Fisher is a notorious flopper. That was a flop. Idiot,

[shimmyshimmyyahhh]

@chrisdofer320 Fisher did flop, but remember that Sacramento team were the Kings of flopping.

Its too bad that was the last fundamentally sound screen/pick set in the series by the Kings.

[cbaldwinjr]

@chrisdofer320

The hell it wasn't! He wasn't set. He rolled into him. Flop or not, it's a foul. The reaction doesn't dictate the action. Then Bobby Jackson fouls Kobe on his last shot...no whistle. LA didn't bitch about it...they went back, held serve, and then BEAT SAC in their building in a Game 7 to advance to the Finals. What's the excuse for Game 7???

[shimmyshimmyyahhh]

@jobsron Apparently the Lakers and Kings only played half a quarter in this game.

Seriously, no one has the whole game? Shaq had 28 and fouled out in a career low 29 minutes. He had never fouled out in a regulation playoff game before. One FTA all night.

Obviously the Kings got this game called the way they wanted to, and not even the Lakers can fight City Hall(To paraphrase Adelman and Carill after Game 6)

[cbaldwinjr]

@jobsron

Ummm...Webber's cross body block on Fisher? Jackson graping Kobe at the end? Please...it works both ways. And it wasn't an 'entire' game 6. It was a quarter where the Lakers POUNDED the ball inside. There were two bad calls...the 'foul' on Bibby for getting hit in the face by Kobe. And Divac flopping (but was in position) for a charge. Everything else was no different than any other time in the series. I'm sick of the bitching. The Lakers beat them IN SAC in Gm 7. They had their chance

[garubek]

@jobsron How about the fact that Shaq shot ONE FT the entire game? From '94 - '03, you know how many times Shaq shot 1 FT in a playoff game? One time. Game 5 in '02. In games 1-4 and 7, Divac-Pollard combined for 7, 6, 7, 10, and 10 fouls, respectively. In game 5? 3 fouls. Prior to facing LA, Divac-Pollard averaged 6.3 fouls/game in the playoffs. Yet, facing the league leader in FTA's, they magically foul less than any other game?

[salamander337]

@jobsron The ref who fixed gm 6 amitted it so it's official. That game was so obvious.

[Accident15]

wow how can lakers fan bitch about this one play? if the kings were ever helped by the refs it was only once! meanwhile the lakers and the refs screwed the kings over time and tiem again, so many bad calls and no calls. yes the lakers won the championship and i bet they felt really great didnt they? they new the refs were on their side so its ok, the lakers can live with knowing that it wasnt just talent that got them past the kings.

[bigfelon]

look at 44 sec webber hit it out of bounds! if that call was maid there would be no game seven so stop bitching! its over............its over lakers > your fav team! lol

[ScorpioEightySix]

Correct me if i'm wrong, but didn't the Celtics demolish the Lakers in the Finals this year?

Haha, sure did.  Celtics >>>>> Lakers

[bigfelon]

GOLD MEDAL > NBA CAMPIONSHIP ring

real nba fans > bandwagon boston fans

kobe the real champ of the world not the nba but the world !!!!!!!!!!!!! without kobe the us team is nothing ! other wise they would of already won a gold medal with labronze lol.

LAKERS > boston

[bigfelon]

why you talking shit for! boston beat a laker team that was 70% healthy! wait till bynum comes back lol! im upping this tread next jun.

[paperboy215]

with the refs help. check out "kobe vs boston celtics zone"

[mdmb5]

ahhhh. NO! Do you not know even recent NBA history?? You have youtube, can't you bother to check a search engine? The Lakers swept the Nets in the finals that year. Read! The last time Boston had won an NBA finals was the 83-84 season.

[bigfelon]

king should of lost that game but the refs help them out!

[Peatross11]

you're a fucking retard! You're just angry cause you found out you're Lakers didn't win on their own. Shut your fucking mouth

[LessoNeglected]

@Peatross11 From that comment your the one that seems mad... Probably because the kings choked in game 7

[Voiceofjon]

Are you kidding, Look at chris webbers body. he is at a angle, he wouldnt let fisher go the same path as Bibby. Look at it is was screen...

[collector26]

you mean the refs helped the lakers win , the ref admitted already that it was fixed for game 6 for the lakers to win . do your research before you make comments , you sound like a jack ass

[paperboy215]

but what about this game ? webber touched the ball last but the kings got it back setting up bibby's winning shot

[bigfelon]

fuck the kings and fuck you ! lol webber knock the ball out of bounds and the king still got the ball back wtf? lakers own the kings sorry.

[Accident15]

lol dude dont worry i would feel the same way as u do, u dont want to hear the truth!

[Accident15]

good times, good times, the kings got got robbed, but still its really sad how L.A. barely won even with the refs on their side, the kings were the better team no doubt. GO KINGS!!
