@KungaMatata Derek Fisher shitty ass ! He never averaged 15 points a game with his shitty ass. John Wall averaged more points a game than him in his rookie season. GO WIZARDS AND KINGS.
@ the reason why phil kept him as a starter was because of his hustle, leadership, and the ability to be clutch at the 3 point line. and u know how hard it is to keep superstars like mj and kobe on track and in championship mode every second of the day? phil does know shit about the game and his 3 3-peats and back 2 back titles will prove that. fish was one of the reasons the lakers even won those championships!! He doesn't care about stats,he cares about winning unlike u and freaking john wall!
The whole first half of this video is so freaking epic with the great rocker back in back in the background and shaq, kobe, and the lakers slamming it down and bibby, webber, and the kings knocking down shots and that cool song to the over time part is just awesome. great video man.
you have to take into account the emotional aspect of this game. if you get cheated out of one game do you really think you are gonna be able to preform the next game like nothing happened? that is like getting into a fight with your friends house and going back the next day. there is gonna be an elephant in the room.
@itswuzup Exactly. I think it was Doug Christie who came out and said the team was in shock about the events that happened up to that point. Sad Stuff the Kings all deserved a ring.
This series changed the destiny of alot of players and even the league. Oh and btw fuck shaq that fool new the Kings were better and was scared.
I used to be a Sonics fan, I never liked the Lakers, neither the Kings. But I have to say you got to be BLIND not to see how bad were the referees in game 6, that was absolutely ugly, Sacramento deserved to win that game and the series.
In 2002 the NBA league went Hollywood when the NBA commissioner David stern ordered 2 refs to manipulate the series when a small market Sacramento kings team taking the lead in the series 3-2 and Putting LA in risk of being eliminated . game 6 is the worst officiated game in NBA history with 27 fts in the 4th quarter alone full of phantom call to make sure LA won the game , why ??? the game is global the league will make 100x when LA is in the finals compared to a small market kings team
For all you still crying about the Kings being screwed over face it there's only one way to settle an argument, game 7! no one ever argues a game 7 and sorry Kings fans your team didn't win!
game 6 was fixed. Game 4 lakers got sooo lucky cuz addition to horry shot there was a shot before halftime that shouldnt have counted (so i've heard) also wasnt peja hurt for some of this series?
This series was meant to go to 7 games so it wouldnt matter if the lakers would have been up 3-2 it still would have gone to a game 7. so realy the only games that counted were games 1 and 7 at Sacramento and the Lakers won both.
Wow, there's the game that never should of happened. Kings should of started preparing for NJ at this time and getting ready to win their first title. But thanks to Stern, wasn't meant to be
@ballin7077 Yes. Exactly because of the officiating. It had nothing to do with watching Kobe, Shaq, Bibby, Webber, Fisher and Stojacavic in the prime of their careers.
@allstarhs Lol. I just hate this series because it is just sad to watch the best team with their players in the prime not win the championship they deserved.
@rjkahlon game 4 was also bullshit. Kings had it 4-1 in the bag. Game 7 shouldnt even be mentioned. Kings did outplay the Lakers in game 7 but just shot poorly from the line, but game 7 shouldnt have occured nor should have game 6
@ballin7077 Game 4 wasn't bullshit at all. Only Game 6 was fixed. Stern wanted a Game 7 so the refs were told to ignore calls in Game 6. Game 7 shouldn't of happened, I agree. But the Lakers fairly won Games 4 and 7.
@rjkahlon hmm i dont know. i still remember the atrocious calls in game 4 that screwed the kings. even the dumb half court shot that was after the buzzer...........that alone coulda been a difference.
I don't understand you Laker haters...I mean...when the Lakers win championships you guys scream "RIGGED! STERN FIXING GAMES AGAIN!" but when they lost to the Pistons, Celtics, and Mavericks all was quiet on the western front...LOL you guys act like the NBA is perfectly fine. WTF is Stern fixing games or not?
@lilze96 i see you never heard of Stern stilling this series. Bro Stern wants the big market to win the Championship not a team like the King because Stern wants money not entertainment
@EdLS04 We can argue about game 6 all day but I know one thing's for sure...Stern didn't fix game 7 LOL. I'm sorry but when you have game 7 at home & you miss 14 ft's YOU DON'T DESERVE TO WIN! When your starting center (Divac) would rather flop instead of playing solid defense YOU DON'T DESERVE TO WIN! And when your team leader (Webber) is settling for jumpers instead of attacking the basket in overtime YOU DON'T DESERVE TO WIN! Face it the Lakers just wanted it more than the Kings.
@lilze96 Yah and you havent seen the ridiculous calls by the ref and the ones that should of been called, stern needs to understand that money is not the thing its the entertainment and i agree one you that divac didnt have a great game but you still had christie but the ref was giving them this bullshit call and he ended up 4 fouls in one quarter. Stern needs to be fired and get fined for this. ITS NOT RIGHT.
@lilze96 You really made your point clear. I do agree with you. I was rooting for the Kings then, but they looked worn out and anxious in the overtime. The Lakers knew how to win pivotal games that go down to the wire, dating back from the game 7 against Portland, in which they won despite being down 15.
@lilze96 There is no game 7 to be played , the only reason La GOT TO play game 7 was league assistance in game 6 . The lakers couldt win on there own . 2002 astrix
@lilze96 Oh so they wouldn't mind if the kings step over the free throw line before the ball hits the rim. To me its bullshit that refs were doing a piss poor effort in the series (mostly game 6). People know the only way that Shaq can score free throws is if he puts his left forward before the ball hits the rim. Btw im not a kings fan.
@lilze96 Ummm how do you think game 6 then affected the entire Kings team psychologically?
After you get screwed as bad as the kings did in game 6 in the playoffs you cant just "move on". Im sure they were playing less agrresive in game 7 cause they knew the Lakers would get the calls... Just a thought.
It wasn't cause of the refs, this was the transition from being able to play hard and get hit hard to getting calls from every little thing. This was basketball
Only fans that does not think this series was rigged are lakers fans. Dun come up with bullshit like kings didnt win a championship in the 03, 04 05 years thus it wasnt rigged in 02, haha lakers are down 0-3 to the mavs now, does it mean in 09' 10' their championship was rigged?
the only people who think that series wasn't biased/corrupt are lakers fans. I don't even like the kings or live in california, I was a sonics fan and from an unbiased pov that series was rigged as fuck. It doesn't matter if the kings missed free throws or how many free throw attempts they received. If you want to judge the fairness of a game, you look at the quality of the calls, not the # of attempts or shots missed. the worst calls were always against the kings, end of discussion.
@erinzky exactly i could easily cry about the 08 finals but im not gonna choose to do that BOS was the best team that year they won fair and square as did LA in 02.
In 2002 the NBA league went Hollywood when the NBA commissioner David stern ordered 2 refs to manipulate the series when a small market Sacramento kings team taking the lead in the series 3-2 and Putting LA in risk of being eliminated . game 6 is the worst officiated game in NBA history with 27 fts in the 4th quarter alone full of phantom call to make sure LA won the game , why ??? the game is global the league will make 100x when LA is in the finals compared to a small market kings team .
how can you show a video of this series without the elbow in bibbys face? That made me sick.. an the ref had a clear view of the incident an no foul was called.. i call that inhumane.

No team has ever won a game 7 on the road in laker history, why will it be different?? KOBE - "Well this time a round we will have the REfs on ours side". Oh i see, you mean TIM DONAGHY? Kobe - "Yes exactly. We are hoping he can call some fouls and give us a chance to score points on freethorws" Isn't that cheating? Kobe - hey im not the one going to jail hahaha, Plus he did it all series". Great answer Kobe, Can't wit to see this game 7. hahaha MAAAFIIIAAAA!!
The Lakers were screwed by the officials in two different games..so the retarded conspiracy argument it goes both ways. At the end of the day, the Kings could have won game 7 if they hit their free throws. Instead, they choked and the better team/player 3-peated.
The same player about the 3-peat again, btw. Proving it was no fluke. Ha Ha Ha Ha
@LakersPropaganda Lakers were screwed in 2 different games? Oh please that's a matter of opinion. Game 6 being fixed is a fact. Can't compare the two whatsoever. Kings were cheated. Doesn't matter that their was a Game 7, or as LA fans say, "A chance to win again." They were cheated. The entire championship means nothing.
@LakersPropaganda Refs helped LA win . Lakers got league assistance the title his tainted with a shit stain that will never go away . What you say dont hold water
By the way You Moran whoever wrote this comment They should have never been a Game 7 Period David Stern is a Dirty »Shit face Dumbass who forced the Referees to call against Sacramento Kings therefore to make sure the Small Market Team did not beat a Big Basketball Market like Los Angles the City can ALL GO SUCK IT because THEY ARE ALL FRAUDS AND YOU ARE TOO IGORNANT TO KNOW SINCE YOU ARE A RETARD YOURSELF SO SHUT THE FUCK UP
Did Kobe pull his own jersey out? LOL. Wow you people are funny. But if it was the kings getting their jersey pulled out with a chance to win the game its a Foul right? but since its the Lakers, "no its ok"
Any Laker fan who doesn't think this series is one-sided or biased in any way really needs to go through and re-watch every game in the series. Not only did Kobe and Shaq receive major superstar attention from the referees during the series, but key players on the Kings squad were constantly getting calls going against them, such as Vlade Divac, Scot Pollard, Hedo Turkoglu and Lawrence Funderburke. With fair officiating, this series is over in 5 games. Lakers were handed games 4 and 6, period.
@gfscarface13 I have watched every game in the series atleast twice, so no I am not "one of the thousands blinded by a bias one sided video". You probably think Games 2 and 5 were handed to the Kings because Shaq fouled out of Game 5 and Kobe had "food poisoning" in Game 2, yet when you look at the calls in Game 6 you probably think it isn't biased in any way. Games 2 & 5 were not handed to the Kings, the Kings simply out-played and out-smarted your "golden" Lakers and you can't handle it.
@GraemeM32 Not handed but the Refs did Not call the fouls on the kings in the final minutes of game 5. Webber's illegal screen, I have not idea why the ref didn't call it, if Ref called it the Lakers win simple as that. Kobe was Fouled at the end of game 5 by Jackson and no call. Replay clearly shows Jackson grabbing Kobes jersey and no call.
Shaq fouled out thanks to Divac's FLopping. Only 1 Free throw attempt for Shaq. Lakers got screwed in game 5.
@gfscarface13 First of all, Fisher flopped on that play, and if you were any kind of a Laker fan, you would know that Fisher is notorious for flopping. Secondly, Divac's "flopping" were the results of having a 7'1 330 pound monster throwing all of his weight at you throughout the entire series. Call it flopping if you will, but Shaq got away with a lot more in the paint than Webber or Divac or any of the Kings post players. As for the Jackson foul, whatever. Get over it.
@gfscarface13 Actually, after going back and watching that last play of Game 5 again, there was no foul on Jackson. Kobe's jersey does come out but it didn't have any impact on the play whatsoever, Jackson was simply trying to locate Bryant on the catch of the ball. Jackson played good straight up defense and Bryant couldn't knock down the shot. Kings win Game 5 staight up.
@gfscarface13 Okay, well I can see no matter what I say it's not going to convince you, but arguing about one or two calls that went against the Lakers does not make up for the one or two hundred calls that went against the Kings throughout the entire series. Why is it that after Game 6 and the entire 2002 WCF that several high-ranking sports analysts decided to speak out about the horrible officiating against the Kings, not the Lakers, including politician Ralph Nader? Are they all wrong?
@GraemeM32 "arguing about one or two calls that went against the lakers dost not make up"
Why not? they're the same results. Refs call the fouls, Lakers win game 5 simple as that. Kings win game 6 and Lakers win game 7, Give us Lakers game 5 & kings have game 6 and Lakers still win game 7. So either way, Lakers win series.
Cause game 6 was 4th quarter, game 5 was last minutes going kings way. game 6 was a potential series clincher.
@gfscarface13 Okay, but if it weren't for the many calls that went against the Kings throughout the entire series, none of those games would have been close at the end of the 4th quarter to begin with. The Lakers were not "robbed" of anything in this series, except maybe their dignity, after Stern publicly handed them the Championship. With fair officiating, this series is over in 5 games. I'm not even a Kings fan, but to ignore the glaringly obvious bias that went down in the series is ignorant
@GraemeM32 I only hear kings fans complain about game 6 and samaki 3. the samaki 3 is not the refs fault. There was no replay in 2002. They changed the rules after that season.
@gfscarface13 I don't care about the Samaki Walker 3-pointer. Yes, it was clearly after the buzzer, and it sucks for the Kings, but if they had of disallowed it the game probably would have happened a little bit different in the second half and maybe the game would have ended the same way, who knows. I do have a problem with Game 6, however, as anyone who considers themself a basketball fan should. It simply the most embarassing game the league has ever witnessed, and even most Lakers fans agree
@GraemeM32 I know. I have no remorse though cause the Refs screwed the Lakers in game 5 so its even to me. Game 7 was in the kings building and they blew it with their Air-Balls and Missed Free Throws.
i still dont understand why kings fan think this series was rigged, yes lakers had A LOT of free throws in game 6, but i don't think most kings fans look at the box score and realize:
L.A.'s Free throw attempts total to 185 for the whole series
Sac's Free throw attempts total to 204 for the whole series
The kings also had more Free throws in games 2,3, and 5
Theres nothing to complain about if u look at the box scores.
Lakers hit their crucial shots when they needed to end of the story
I believe the powers that be in the nba instructed the refs to rig game 6 to prolong that series because it was easily the best series of the 2002 playoffs. Then when game 7 came they officiated properly. I believe game 7 was officiated fairly. The kings missed 14 free throws, unusual for a good free throw shooting team.
The Kings lost because they choked a 24 pt. lead in Game 4, and hit just 16/30 FTA's, and just 2/20 on 3 point attempts in the deciding Game 7, went into OT
The Kings were +19 in FTA's for the series, and had a double-digit FTA advantage in 3 games, while the Lakers had a double-digit FTA advantage in just 1 game.
If the Kings didn't brick their FT's & 3's at home, in Game 7, they win.
But they didn't.
Champions find a way to win, and they know how to close.
I feel really bad for people losing to these Lakers. If this was New Orleans i would go ape shit. The kings game was just like this year. Awful officiating. Lakers should take 2 banners down for bullshit and give the Kings and the Celtics what they deserve.
@sammie1874 lol funny how people are so dumb Yes this game was rigged, and the refs did help out the Lakers, but in the same time The Lakers got most of the incorrect calls against the Lakers and almost every game was close Lakers could of wan in 6. As for the celtics, they started fouling but with out the refs who still made bad calls but on both teams the score should of been about 80-76
lets just end this lakers-kings game 6 fix talk. THE 4th Quarter was FIXED. after 3 quarters the kings had shot 16 FT the lakers 13. in the 4th the lakers made 21-27 free throws to the kings 6-9!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! if thats not a fix nothing is. should have never been a game 7. kings were robbed for ratings and so the lakers dynasty could keep rolling. but the tide is turning, kings will own LA in 2-3 years time. but nothing will even make up for what was stolen from the city of sacramento.
I just hate how the Lakers are just given games in the NBA. The Kings might be a rebuilding team now but back then they were strong and proud. The fouls in these
games are awful. Shaquille O'Neal is just a fat bitch.
Im not a Kings fan AT ALL but to say that game 6 (I believe it was game 6) where the Lakers went to the line 20+ times in the 4th quarter alone wasnt a fix/screw job is beyond idiotic, especially with what we know NOW.
What do we know now? That Tim is releasing a book about suppose fix jobs?
The truth is, I am willing to admit that Game 6 was not officiated well. But again, look at all the 82 games each team plays, plus the playoff games. IT HAPPENS.
Bad calls happen all of the time. Even in the NFL, or MLB, Boxing, NHL, NCAA, etc.
I dont think David Stern would risk the NBA's image that way.
But again, there are alot of Queen fans around here that cant admit they're team CHOKED
Oh and by the way, it was Game 6. True championship teams over come bad calls.
People complain about bad calls all of the time in sports.
The NBA will never reach a happy meduim with its fans. If the officials call a late game foul in the clutch, people will complain just because they called a foul. If they dont make that call, other people will complain because they didnt make the call.
You dont understand, when the entire league is essentially conspiring against you, including the officials (read the Donoughy quotes) then you're fucked. It's an 8 on 5 advantage out on the court. Once again, I hate the Kings with a passion but that game 6 was the most ridiculous game I've ever witnessed in any sport... by a large margin at that.
No one has proof that the refs fixed this series or any other series. Its allegations by a criminal.
What is Tim Donaghy going to do now? Coach Jr High School games? Not even. So whats his next best move? Start a book and make money off of it, just like the Sept 11 conspirators did after 9/11.
If I remember correctly, the Kings shot more free throws in that series than the Lakers too
Those calls in game 6 were so awful; what a disgrace to the game. I'm not angry with the Lakers because it's not their fault, it was the refs. On paper it shows the Lakers as the 2001-2002 NBA champions but in my opinion the 2001-2002 NBA champions were the Sacramento Kings. Vlade, CWeb, Christie, Bibby, Peja, Hedo, Pollard, and B. Jackson! What a squad!
OBVIOUSLY we will never have 'PROOF' that what transpired was in fact a 'fix' - what we do have though is a game in which MANY MANY people have questioned for quite some time and a former referee who has admitted to betting on sports and fixing sports... why would he be the only one in on it? If the games were as easy to manipulate as he indicates, wouldnt the first game that comes into most peoples minds be THIS game 6? Just too much evidence to say that something fishy wasnt up...
If anything, dont the Mavs and Heat series come into mind first? I felt the series was fair but alot of people think that games 3-6 of that series were favored in D Wade's direction.
Alot of old guys who watched MJ back in the day that I talk to at the gym feel that Micheal Jordan was favored too much by the refs.
The truth is, any sport, (boxing, NFL, MLB, skating, etc) where refs have some control can be as easily manipulated. Lets face it, the Kings choked.
The reason why i say the Kings choked is because they flat out choked. There have been games so far this season where the refs have been horrible. That doesnt mean those games were fixed by David Stern.
Could they have been fixed by a ref who is involved with Las Vegas gambling? Maybe but the same can be true for any sport.
Bad officiated games happen. I just dont think that David Stern would fix a series especially when the SPURS have won 4 champions in the last 10-11 years.
Once again, I'm not a Kings fan, my hatred for the Kings carries on to this day. To say that the incredible discrepancy of fouls, particularly that in the 4th Q of game 6 is not 'interesting' would simply be a mistake. Seeing as you are clearly a huge kobe fan (I think 3/4 of your favrote videos are Kobe related) it is clear you have an agenda of sorts - thats cool, but THAT series was no buen -
As for games this season, no shit theres been badly officiated games but none to THIS extent.
Im a Laker fan. All I am saying is that, lets not try to act like there arent any badly officiated games in the 82 games during the season or even the playoffs.
If people claim this series was fixed by the NBA, than whata bout the other games during the NBA year?
What about Game 2 of the Lakers and Celtics. You cant watch that game and not tell me it didnt have bad calls.
Its hard to say that David Stern would fix games for ratings when the Spurs have won 4 in the last 11yrs.
Go to a Laker fan club. Like a forum. You'll see guys in those forums crying about Kobe not getting enough calls. Go to a Cavaliers/LeBron James fan club. Guys crying about LeBron not getting Kobe treatment. Its nuts.
People always have there beliefs about the refs being against there team.
I live in Utah now. Jazz fans complain about.
In Portland, the TV announcers cry about the refs. They've made comments about Kobe, LeBron and Wade in the past.
@TotalPackage8 dude this series was literally one of the worse called games ive ever seen.. and im neither a Laker hater or a King fan.. it was a lot more than just a few bad calls , there were major blatant fouls on the Kings that werent called but then they would call the smallest shit for LA. everything about it was just bad i dont think LA earned that championship
Nope. Guy gets caught doing something illegal and tries to throw dirt on everyone else. How many times do we see this in real life situations from criminals?
@TotalPackage8 how can you just play it off as just one bad game officiated? that was more than just ONE bad called game, it was game 6, a HUGE turning point in the series which eventually robbed the Kings. it was pretty apparent that year the Kings were the better team, but the Lakers needed help getting to finals because they knew sacramento was a legit threat. hello ! this is the NBA, the easiest sport to manipulate if youre a ref, you rlly think Tim was the only one fixing games??? cmon
@Workin0nit i'm with u and it could possibly be that he says the truth. but as him being a cheater he could also lie to get himself out of investigation focus.
jamescole8 , stay off kobes dick , your just a faggot as bitch , that would suck kobe off if you had the chance , kobes with vanessa , get that threw your head you faggot .......
come on wmg this is some crap u dont delete the video just disable the audio thats stupid and seriously what do u gain from us not being able to hear it but where aloud to watch it thats just stupid
Neither a Kings or a Laker fan (Nuggets fan) I watched that series very close and the Kings did get screwed by the officials. Games 4 and 6 were ridiculous. That series had to have been fixed. the Kings were clearly the better team. But what's done is done! Viva LA Lakers.
6 years later and the Cowpokes are still crying....some things never change....I totally agree that Game 6 was fixed, and I am a Laker fan.....HOWEVER, what Sac fans do not talk about TO THIS VERY DAY is that you had Game 7 on YOUR HOME COURT IN ARCO ARENA and you STILL LOST....
If you get screwed twice by NBA officials, especially after 6th game that was yours to close out, why care? It is fixed, so why waste energy? What else to prove? To get fake rings like LAL did?
As I said----as a Laker fan, I freely admitted then and now that the Kings ABSOLUTELY got screwed in Game 6...And having said that, if the Kings secured the final rebound in Game 4(instead of smacking the ball back out to Robert Horry) and if they played better down the stretch at HOME in Game 7, we would have been talking about the Kings being the 2002 NBA Champions, instead of my boys "3-peated"...My point is the cheating in Game 6 was not the ONLY reason that the Kings lost that series..
That's dumb logic. In 1972 after the Russians had twice been given extra time on the clock, the USA still had a chance to stop them. It doesn't matter that Russia scored on posession 3, they would have lost before then had the game been fair. Ditto for Lakers and game 7 - they wouldn't have gotten to game 7 had game 6 been called fairly.
seriously this series was a physical series that is why the refs never called alot of fouls. both teams gave it all there best and refs just let them play. so stop the bitching and just face the fact the lakers won the series. and remember game 6 that the kings were kicking ass and they blew it. people complain about walker making the three pointer on the buzzer and yeah i admit he did not get his hand off but remember it should have never got to that point and kings should of won.

@ballin7077 Game 4 wasn't bullshit at all. Only Game 6 was fixed. Stern wanted a Game 7 so the refs were told to ignore calls in Game 6. Game 7 shouldn't of happened, I agree. But the Lakers fairly won Games 4 and 7.

@EdLS04 We can argue about game 6 all day but I know one thing's for sure...Stern didn't fix game 7 LOL. I'm sorry but when you have game 7 at home & you miss 14 ft's YOU DON'T DESERVE TO WIN! When your starting center (Divac) would rather flop instead of playing solid defense YOU DON'T DESERVE TO WIN! And when your team leader (Webber) is settling for jumpers instead of attacking the basket in overtime YOU DON'T DESERVE TO WIN! Face it the Lakers just wanted it more than the Kings.

@lilze96 Yah and you havent seen the ridiculous calls by the ref and the ones that should of been called, stern needs to understand that money is not the thing its the entertainment and i agree one you that divac didnt have a great game but you still had christie but the ref was giving them this bullshit call and he ended up 4 fouls in one quarter. Stern needs to be fired and get fined for this. ITS NOT RIGHT.

@lilze96 You really made your point clear. I do agree with you. I was rooting for the Kings then, but they looked worn out and anxious in the overtime.

It doesn't matter if the kings missed free throws or how many free throw attempts they received. If you want to judge the fairness of a game, you look at the quality of the calls, not the # of attempts or shots missed. the worst calls were always against the kings, end of discussion.

Any Laker fan who doesn't think this series is one-sided or biased in any way really needs to go through and re-watch every game in the series. Not only did Kobe and Shaq receive major superstar attention from the referees during the series, but key players on the Kings squad were constantly getting calls going against them, such as Vlade Divac, Scot Pollard, Hedo Turkoglu and Lawrence Funderburke. With fair officiating, this series is over in 5 games. Lakers were handed games 4 and 6, period.
GraemeM32 1 year ago
@GraemeM32 kings were handed games 2 & 5 in this series. Did you watch those games? I bet you didn't.
You're one of thousands blinded by a Bias one sided video Only showing game 6 and Not the whole series.
gfscarface13 1 year ago
@gfscarface13 I have watched every game in the series atleast twice, so no I am not "one of the thousands blinded by a bias one sided video". You probably think Games 2 and 5 were handed to the Kings because Shaq fouled out of Game 5 and Kobe had "food poisoning" in Game 2, yet when you look at the calls in Game 6 you probably think it isn't biased in any way. Games 2 & 5 were not handed to the Kings, the Kings simply out-played and out-smarted your "golden" Lakers and you can't handle it.
GraemeM32 1 year ago
@GraemeM32 Not handed but the Refs did Not call the fouls on the kings in the final minutes of game 5. Webber's illegal screen, I have not idea why the ref didn't call it, if Ref called it the Lakers win simple as that. Kobe was Fouled at the end of game 5 by Jackson and no call. Replay clearly shows Jackson grabbing Kobes jersey and no call.
Shaq fouled out thanks to Divac's FLopping. Only 1 Free throw attempt for Shaq. Lakers got screwed in game 5.
gfscarface13 1 year ago
@gfscarface13 First of all, Fisher flopped on that play, and if you were any kind of a Laker fan, you would know that Fisher is notorious for flopping. Secondly, Divac's "flopping" were the results of having a 7'1 330 pound monster throwing all of his weight at you throughout the entire series. Call it flopping if you will, but Shaq got away with a lot more in the paint than Webber or Divac or any of the Kings post players. As for the Jackson foul, whatever. Get over it.
GraemeM32 1 year ago
@gfscarface13 Actually, after going back and watching that last play of Game 5 again, there was no foul on Jackson. Kobe's jersey does come out but it didn't have any impact on the play whatsoever, Jackson was simply trying to locate Bryant on the catch of the ball. Jackson played good straight up defense and Bryant couldn't knock down the shot. Kings win Game 5 staight up.
GraemeM32 1 year ago
@GraemeM32 Flop or no FLop thats a moving screen which means illegal screen. Lakers win game 5 if Refs call it but they didn't.
Kobe was fouled, how all of a sudden your jersey gets grabbed and its not a foul? LOL, please its a Foul. What a joke.
gfscarface13 1 year ago
@gfscarface13 Okay, well I can see no matter what I say it's not going to convince you, but arguing about one or two calls that went against the Lakers does not make up for the one or two hundred calls that went against the Kings throughout the entire series. Why is it that after Game 6 and the entire 2002 WCF that several high-ranking sports analysts decided to speak out about the horrible officiating against the Kings, not the Lakers, including politician Ralph Nader? Are they all wrong?
GraemeM32 1 year ago
@GraemeM32 "arguing about one or two calls that went against the lakers dost not make up"
Why not? they're the same results. Refs call the fouls, Lakers win game 5 simple as that. Kings win game 6 and Lakers win game 7, Give us Lakers game 5 & kings have game 6 and Lakers still win game 7. So either way, Lakers win series.
Cause game 6 was 4th quarter, game 5 was last minutes going kings way. game 6 was a potential series clincher.
gfscarface13 1 year ago
@gfscarface13 Okay, but if it weren't for the many calls that went against the Kings throughout the entire series, none of those games would have been close at the end of the 4th quarter to begin with. The Lakers were not "robbed" of anything in this series, except maybe their dignity, after Stern publicly handed them the Championship. With fair officiating, this series is over in 5 games. I'm not even a Kings fan, but to ignore the glaringly obvious bias that went down in the series is ignorant

@GraemeM32 I only hear kings fans complain about game 6 and samaki 3. the samaki 3 is not the refs fault. There was no replay in 2002. They changed the rules after that season.

@gfscarface13 I don't care about the Samaki Walker 3-pointer. Yes, it was clearly after the buzzer, and it sucks for the Kings, but if they had of disallowed it the game probably would have happened a little bit different in the second half and maybe the game would have ended the same way, who knows. I do have a problem with Game 6, however, as anyone who considers themself a basketball fan should. It simply the most embarassing game the league has ever witnessed, and even most Lakers fans agree

i still dont understand why kings fan think this series was rigged, yes lakers had A LOT of free throws in game 6, but i don't think most kings fans look at the box score and realize:

Sac's Free throw attempts total to 204 for the whole series
The kings also had more Free throws in games 2,3, and 5
Theres nothing to complain about if u look at the box scores.

I believe the powers that be in the nba instructed the refs to rig game 6 to prolong that series because it was easily the best series of the 2002 playoffs. Then when game 7 came they officiated properly. I believe game 7 was officiated fairly. The kings missed 14 free throws, unusual for a good free throw shooting team.
KingThomas150 1 year ago
The Kings lost because they choked a 24 pt. lead in Game 4, and hit just 16/30 FTA's, and just 2/20 on 3 point attempts in the deciding Game 7, went into OT
The Kings were +19 in FTA's for the series, and had a double-digit FTA advantage in 3 games, while the Lakers had a double-digit FTA advantage in just 1 game.
If the Kings didn't brick their FT's & 3's at home, in Game 7, they win.
But they didn't.
Champions find a way to win, and they know how to close.
The Kings didn't.

Lakers 27/33 FTs and 7/17 on 3's in Game 7
SAC lost for a variety of reasons, the refs being the least.
Maybe the pressure of a Game 7 is what caused them to go 16/33 at the FT line.

Bad calls happen all of the time. Even in the NFL, or MLB, Boxing, NHL, NCAA, etc.
I dont think David Stern would risk the NBA's image that way.

Oh and by the way, it was Game 6. True championship teams over come bad calls.

The NBA will never reach a happy meduim with its fans. If the officials call a late game foul in the clutch, people will complain just because they called a foul. If they dont make that call, other people will complain because they didnt make the call.

You dont understand, when the entire league is essentially conspiring against you, including the officials (read the Donoughy quotes) then you're fucked. It's an 8 on 5 advantage out on the court.

Those calls in game 6 were so awful; what a disgrace to the game. I'm not angry with the Lakers because it's not their fault, it was the refs. On paper it shows the Lakers as the 2001-2002 NBA champions but in my opinion the 2001-2002 NBA champions were the Sacramento Kings. Vlade, CWeb, Christie, Bibby, Peja, Hedo, Pollard, and B. Jackson! What a squad!

OBVIOUSLY we will never have 'PROOF' that what transpired was in fact a 'fix' - what we do have though is a game in which MANY MANY people have questioned for quite some time and a former referee who has admitted to betting on sports and fixing sports... why would he be the only one in on it? If the games were as easy to manipulate as he indicates, wouldnt the first game that comes into most peoples minds be THIS game 6? Just too much evidence to say that something fishy wasnt up...
BlindJacka 2 years ago
If anything, dont the Mavs and Heat series come into mind first? I felt the series was fair but alot of people think that games 3-6 of that series were favored in D Wade's direction.
Alot of old guys who watched MJ back in the day that I talk to at the gym feel that Micheal Jordan was favored too much by the refs.
The truth is, any sport, (boxing, NFL, MLB, skating, etc) where refs have some control can be as easily manipulated. Lets face it, the Kings choked.
TotalPackage8 2 years ago
The reason why i say the Kings choked is because they flat out choked. There have been games so far this season where the refs have been horrible. That doesnt mean those games were fixed by David Stern.
Could they have been fixed by a ref who is involved with Las Vegas gambling? Maybe but the same can be true for any sport.
Bad officiated games happen. I just dont think that David Stern would fix a series especially when the SPURS have won 4 champions in the last 10-11 years.
TotalPackage8 2 years ago
Once again, I'm not a Kings fan, my hatred for the Kings carries on to this day. To say that the incredible discrepancy of fouls, particularly that in the 4th Q of game 6 is not 'interesting' would simply be a mistake. Seeing as you are clearly a huge kobe fan (I think 3/4 of your favrote videos are Kobe related) it is clear you have an agenda of sorts - thats cool, but THAT series was no buen -
As for games this season, no shit theres been badly officiated games but none to THIS extent.
BlindJacka 2 years ago
Im a Laker fan. All I am saying is that, lets not try to act like there arent any badly officiated games in the 82 games during the season or even the playoffs.
If people claim this series was fixed by the NBA, than whata bout the other games during the NBA year?
What about Game 2 of the Lakers and Celtics. You cant watch that game and not tell me it didnt have bad calls.
Its hard to say that David Stern would fix games for ratings when the Spurs have won 4 in the last 11yrs.
TotalPackage8 2 years ago
Go to a Laker fan club. Like a forum. You'll see guys in those forums crying about Kobe not getting enough calls. Go to a Cavaliers/LeBron James fan club. Guys crying about LeBron not getting Kobe treatment. Its nuts.

Your saying that because of one game (Game 6) in a series that the Kings shot more free throws than the Lakers?
Why does everyone forget Game 5 where 2 no calls and a bad call went the Kings way that latter gave them a 1 point victory?
If you want to see a series of bad calls, look at the Mavs and Heat series from 2007.
That shit didnt happen in just one game, that happen in a course of the last 4 games

Did he officiate the Lakers Kings series?
Nope. Guy gets caught doing something illegal and tries to throw dirt on everyone else. How many times do we see this in real life situations from criminals?
Hint: Think Enron and ponzi schemes

@TotalPackage8 how can you just play it off as just one bad game officiated? that was more than just ONE bad called game, it was game 6, a HUGE turning point in the series which eventually robbed the Kings. it was pretty apparent that year the Kings were the better team, but the Lakers needed help getting to finals because they knew sacramento was a legit threat. hello ! this is the NBA, the easiest sport to manipulate if youre a ref, you rlly think Tim was the only one fixing games??? cmon

@Workin0nit i'm with u and it could possibly be that he says the truth. but as him being a cheater he could also lie to get himself out of investigation focus.

@TotalPackage8 they weren't bad calls they were fixed calls

The refs gave the Kings games 2 AND 5 in 2002.
No one ever mentions that.
And the Kings shot more free throws for the series and were called for less fouls....amazing stats considering how many times a game Shaq gets fouled.

Neither a Kings or a Laker fan (Nuggets fan) I watched that series very close and the Kings did get screwed by the officials. Games 4 and 6 were ridiculous. That series had to have been fixed. the Kings were clearly the better team. But what's done is done! Viva LA Lakers.

6 years later and the Cowpokes are still crying....some things never change....I totally agree that Game 6 was fixed, and I am a Laker fan.....HOWEVER, what Sac fans do not talk about TO THIS VERY DAY is that you had Game 7 on YOUR HOME COURT IN ARCO ARENA and you STILL LOST....

I think your right. Kings fans such as myself forget about it because we played horrible. The game was ours to lose and thats what we did.
The two games the Kings played horrible were Game 1 and 7. Obviously our demise

If you get screwed twice by NBA officials, especially after 6th game that was yours to close out, why care? It is fixed, so why waste energy? What else to prove? To get fake rings like LAL did?

As I said----as a Laker fan, I freely admitted then and now that the Kings ABSOLUTELY got screwed in Game 6...And having said that, if the Kings secured the final rebound in Game 4(instead of smacking the ball back out to Robert Horry) and if they played better down the stretch at HOME in Game 7, we would have been talking about the Kings being the 2002 NBA Champions, instead of my boys "3-peated"...My point is the cheating in Game 6 was not the ONLY reason that the Kings lost that series..
NupeWD1993 2 years ago
That's dumb logic. In 1972 after the Russians had twice been given extra time on the clock, the USA still had a chance to stop them. It doesn't matter that Russia scored on posession 3, they would have lost before then had the game been fair. Ditto for Lakers and game 7 - they wouldn't have gotten to game 7 had game 6 been called fairly.

seriously this series was a physical series that is why the refs never called alot of fouls. both teams gave it all there best and refs just let them play. so stop the bitching and just face the fact the lakers won the series. and remember game 6 that the kings were kicking ass and they blew it. people complain about walker making the three pointer on the buzzer and yeah i admit he did not get his hand off but remember it should have never got to that point and kings should of won.
