2002 NBA Playoffs: Kings @ Lakers, Gm 3 part 12/15

look at the stats at the beginning, the kings proved to be the greatest challenge during the dynasty, with sac outta the way lakers beat the nets 4-0

the main reason was it was rigged

Hated when Kobe was limited for the sake of lesser players. Shaq is 1 thing. He should get the ball. Fox had more isolations than Kobe did especially in the 1st half. George, Hunter and Horry handled the ball at times more than Bryant. Sorry that is wrong. Walton stated that the offense should run through Bryant as well in the 3rd quarter when Shaq is out. Phil with his socialist Triangle offense consistetnly negated this from happening.

Kobe has been my favorite player along with Chris Paul after Jordan retired in 98 but his play in this game is 1 reason why he is not on Mike's level. Jordan never backed down from a challenge and consistently make fundamental mistakes and play passively. Kobe was not attacking Christie on offense and drew a couple foolish fouls. Bad shots as well. Did not attack off the dribble or in the post. Phil is partially to blame too. Always limited Kobe in the half court for the secondary players.

Bill Walton can predict what will happen before it happens. Around the 8 minute mark, he said that if the Lakers could cut the lead in half the next 4 minutes, they'd only be trailing by a handful of points with 4 minutes to go. And that's exactly what happened

this clip is the main reason y the kings never advanced to the nba finals. They never kept there composure
