Mike Bibby's Game 5 Game Winner in the 2002 WCF

[asdfjkc]

guys it wasnt until game 6 that the refs started making fixed calls. In game 5 neither team was at risk of elimination so they didnt need to rig that game. Game 6 had L.A on the brink of elimination so the refs gave them a huge boost to push the series to 7 games and make the league more money.

[angelfoodcakeface]

fuckin crybabies. the whole lot of ya! fuck the lakers btw ;)

KINGS HAVE THE LOUDEST CROWN IN THE NBA!

[AdR1aN43]

@Miketage had

[Miketage]

@AdR1aN43 they still do, watch when they make playoffs. And plus all those years when kings were doing bad, there were still many fans screaming.

[wongalvin213]

It's so funny how they say the refs rigged the series. Maybe the refs used telepathic mind powers to make Horry's shot go in Game 4

[SK8Azza]

if the series was rigged why did the ref not call the ilegal screen, you fucking retards

[crazytrain81]

@SK8Azza It's obvious it was an illegal screen. They won't care though, they are on a bandwagon called Laker Haters. Kings fans are just butt hurt because they might not have a team in the near future, and every team they've had since 2004 has been a crap show of trying to stay out of last place in the Western Conference. It's sad, but it's what fans of shitty franchises do, dwell on one game in the past like Uncle Rico in Napoleon Dynamite. So yeah, they are all retarded, but they won't stop.

[ThatSwimGuy]

@crazytrain81 Lol. I'd rather be a loyal fan of a franchise, wherever it is in its ups and downs, than a shitty bandwagon fan (aka 1/3 of Lakers fans). But hey, they just got buttfucked by Dallas...let's see how many fans stay loyal if they don't win a championship in the next couple years. Especially when Kobe retires, people get traded, and they have to end up rebuilding. But it's ok. I'll generalize like you did = I know all Lakers fans love to hop on Kobe's dick.

[crazytrain81]

@ThatSwimGuy Yeah, Laker fans hop on Kobe's dick, because Kobe's dick provides multiple championships and a possible lawsuit, it's the LA way :D. All in all, I agree, bandwagon Laker fans suck, so do bandwagon Celtic fans, but all in all, I speak for myself saying I've been a Laker fan since birth. When Kobe retires, I hope his jersey hangs high in Staples Center and I hope we find someone to replace him, though it'll be tough. I'm a Laker fan, since birth and for life and the life of the NBA.

[crazytrain81]

@ThatSwimGuy You don't see Laker fans complaining about the Dallas series. You see us complaining about more recent issues: Not getting CP3. When you see Kings fans it's all the same: "If only the foul was called in the fourth quarter, things would have been different. Fuck LA!" They all pretty much say. They're like Uncle Rico from "Napoleon Dynamite", if only coach would've put me in the fourth quarter. That's what the Kings should be called: The Sacramento Ricos. GET OVER 2002! Move on!

[ThatSwimGuy]

@crazytrain81 Lol, most of us are. A great deal of us are focused on building the team we have now. Plus, you drew a pretty piss-poor analogy, though I see what you were getting at. In Dallas, you just got torched. There's a difference between getting torched and having Game 7 of the WCF (and several of the games) seemingly decided by the refs, swinging for either Kings or Lakers, so that the NBA could have it's game 7 of the finals. If the result had been different,LA would still talk about it.

[ThatSwimGuy]

@crazytrain81 But more power to you for always being a lifelong fan. To be so close to a goal, or a championship, and to not attain it when it's a a grasp away, and to have it wrenched away, it's a scar that will always be there. For the fans, and for the team. As an athlete, I know what that's like, so I can see why people aren't always as willing to let it go.

[crazytrain81]

@ThatSwimGuy I know what it's like as well. I not only played sports, I played basketball. Also, thank you. My team gets a lot of crap for bandwagon fans, so it's nice to see someone recognize a true fan.

The players move on. If they don't, they aren't worthy to really play in the NBA. Fans need to move on. The reason why the true Laker fan base (which is pretty big) is such a great fan base is because we swallow our team's shortcomings, when they happen, and move on.

[crazytrain81]

@ThatSwimGuy You don't think Laker fans had a heartbreaking moment that could be equal to what the Kings went through? Try the 2008 NBA finals, when the Celtics poured Gatorade on the coach with a minute left in the game. That hurt, but we moved on. I'm just saying that Kings fans need to get over the past and try to route for the current team, though they aren't very good.

[Grojic]

@SK8Azza It was a great screen.The way it should be...

[rockfan96channel]

omg has anyone noticed, D FISH FLOPPED!!! LMAO when c webb set the pick fish flopped like a boss :P hahaha if he didnt flopped he might have stayed with bibby and not allow the shot hahahaha

[49fortyniners]

LAKERS are a bunch of pussies!!! Kobe was a baby after the game!

[VedoB]

I guess the Lakers werent celebrating when Horry hit the 3 in game 4

[lakerfan2390]

funny how losers always become conspiracy theorist when things don't go their way...

[911goathead]

@lakerfan2390 of course a douche laker fan like you would say that, and i only rooted for the kings is because of bibby....... BTW im a celtics fan (best team in nba history)

[crazytrain81]

@911goathead Only because of Bill Russell. He's one of the greatest players, but the 60s are why the Celtics are staked. The Lakers have won in more decades of basketball history than the Celtics.

[Sh4productions]

sorry but i dont grudge them the championship..LA had always referee advantages...

[sha370z]

every body was watching this but who was watching wall street this when house

market took off 2002 and 2005 you knew something was up

[Hinasil]

0:52 now that is an epic poster

[49fortyniners]

The lakers didnt even earn their way to the finals. the Refs did it for them

[redskins2k]

stupid faggot kings fans, they ignore how the ball went out on webber for bibbys game winning shot in game 5. the series should have beem 3-2 la

[dcc1980]

Kobe in his comments should of been more like. Where upset because there celebrating like they have won the series, and where like this is the NBA. The Lakers are a bigger market and so we deserve to be in the finals and we know the refs are going to appreciate that.

[lilze96]

61 Regular Season Wins+ Having Home Court Advantage Throughout the Playoffs + C-Webb Folding Under Pressure + Divac Flopping + Christie + Bibby + Peja + Losing Game 1+ Blowing 20 pt lead in game 4+ Refs Cheating Lakers Out f A Win In Game 5 + Missing 14 FT in game 7= NO CHAMPIONSHIP

[deadenddude]

As much as I hate the Lakers, Shaq and Kobe have a point. You don't celebrate when you win game 5 and it's 3/2. I just doesn't look good.

[serbiaroxbasketball]

1:08 - I don't think YOU realized it was a FIXED series, dumbass...

[TheEaglesfanindc]

fuck the fakers kings shoulda won that series hands down

[Grillinnap]

I like how Kobe and Shaq were crticizing the Kings for celebrating the way they did. Weren't they celebrating the same way when Horry hit that shot?

[redskins2k]

fu cking kings fans, illegal pick, and before this play the ball went out of bounds on webber and was awarded to kings, and hese fools sitll complain. No wonder the kings will move soon to so cal. we will enjoy your team

[dcc1980]

@redskins2k Bahahahaahaha illegal pick. Tell me what was illegal webber set a normal screen and Fisher flopped. Actully Kobe pushed bobby jackson off with his left arm on the last play could easly been called offensive foul. But I'm happy for the refs to let it go, I would rather see the players decide the game rather then the refs.

[JACKOTACO]

Look at Fisher's bitch ass flopping, fuckt he Lakers!

[cowskater]

haha damn kings fans are still butthurt

[07Bolla]

Fuck the lakers, fuck stern, fuck Donaghy, fuck kobe and shaq ahahahaha This was destined for the KINGS!!! 2bad the game was corrupt...

[iaMCameron916]

SHUT THE F*** UP KOBE AND SHAQ. F*** THE LAKERS

[gfscarface13]

Illegal Screen by Webber and NO FOul called on Bobby Jackson at the end of game 5, replay clearly shows Bobby Jackson grabbing his Jersey and NO CALL made!

Shaq Only 1 Free Throw attempt in game 5, are you serious?

Lakers got screwed in game 5.

[downtownford]

wow.... but yea i guess ur right.. i mean only favorable calls the lakers got was the referee that fixed the series... but i mean hey, that was an illegal block man

[phattom696944]

worst officiated game in pro sports was game 6. idk how david stern could show his face ever again after that shafting of the kings. they worked their asses off to get there and for what? to have the series handed to the lakers. the nba has been corruped since he fixed the draft for ny to get ewing and probably b4 that but its before my time. now its being manipulated with these "superstar calls". really? wtf is that all about?

[JZ2001JC]

MAny say this fix series is what ended the NBA golden era (I say NBA golden era was 1988-2000). Who knows what game is not fixed anymore because even the Lakers were hosed in Game 2 of 2008 NBA Finals at Boston, just like Kings were hosed in Game 6 of this series.

[BorderInspector]

This was the rigged series by the refs.

[playoffexpert1]

Lakers are no guests, they think they're above all, they didnt need to realize it was a 7 game series u 7 foot baby

*mutation alert*

and kobe needs to shut the fuck up, he makes the game winner in 06 against the suns and they go up 3-1, and he's yelling WHOO! and tryna rip his jersey off, and then they lose the series, u talk about a choke, the kings didnt need to realize it was a 7 game series, CUZ THEY WIN IN GAME 6 IF IT WAS OFFICIATED RIGHT!!!

Kings>Lakers

2002*

[iwituazon10]

damn right shaq.. u guys moved on.. the fucking refs helped u guys so fuck u all lakers

[Banditotr]

@iwituazon10 Dude I dislike Shaq as much as the next guy because he's an immature idiot but Vlade was flopping and getting a tons of call his way, The Lakers won fair and square.

[iwituazon10]

@Banditotr hey, whatever makes you sleep man. Believe whatever you wanna believe, but facts are facts.

[Banditotr]

@iwituazon10 The only fact I saw is the Lakers beating your team. :)

[iwituazon10]

@Banditotr like i said man.. whatever makes you sleep.

[paulwallbaybay]

@iwituazon10 finally someone with some fucking sense in here. im reading all these comments and all these bitch ass lakers fans dont know shit

[DeepFriedMarsBarz]

damn! wish the Kings won that series, and make Kobe shut up!

[TeamDime7]

series was corrupt. Fuck LA and Stern

[kikeazul70]

@TeamDime7 Stern had nothing to do with the series. Your just hating

[seancramento]

[garrett2828]

[lunatic4eva]

[heat856]

They rigged G6 but it was still the Kings, that lost it in G7.
