NBA Lakers vs Kings Game 6 2002 WCF 4th Quarter Sham

The NBA showed itself for what it really is in game 6 of the 2002 Western Confernce Finals between the LA Lakers and the Sacramento Kings, especially in the fourth quarter. It is accepted by people in the sports world as an obvious fix and consequencially the worst refereed game in NBA history. The NBA wanted the Lakers to move on bringing the league much more money and giving them game 6 made the referees look so ridiculous that even someone who wasn't a basketball fan knew the fix was in. A dark day for the NBA from which many people have never returned as fans from.

Blown calls:

The first two plays, Pollard's "illegal screen" and "shooting foul."

EVERY SINGLE ONE of Shaq's freethrows: he stepped over the line as the ball was hitting the rim. You may not do so until the shot is missed or made.

Pause right at 6:57. Divac was called for a pinkie on Shaq after the shot.

12:58 push off of Shaq? Phantom.

20:33 Weber's "offensive foul." Listen to the commentators.

21:55 What foul on Divac?

25:35 No flagrant?

26:28 Need I say more?

36:40 Watch the replay

@LoLKelissiasUku153 The best part of the video of this obviously fixed game is Laker fans who actually shout about it not being fixed. Every intelligent basketball fan, including intelligent Laker fans, recognize what was just a complete sham. I think "Blown calls" doesn't really describe the fix the NBA put on for that game. The league office recognized how much less money the NBA would make with Sacramento in the finals rather than with the Lakers in addition to another playoff game more $

@MrCriss09 You can say move on all you want, but take away the biased fan-trash talk...

Step back and realize how detrimental this was and still is to the NBA. I feel terrible for the Kings and it makes me sad that I love to watch such a product that fixes games. If anything, just look at the bigger picture, if you don't want to admit that the Kings were robbed.

[ErikPaulGames]

it's hard to move on when the only true chance the kings had to go to the finals since 1951 was fixed. combine that with a decade of watching the franchise fall apart, we as kings fans have nothing to look forward to, so we look back to see a team that once was the greatest. it belonged to us, and the nba took it away. distant memories are all that's left.

@LoLKelissiasUku153 : 2 words: move on....!



[MrCriss09]

@2002films U might have a point here dude but the refs did like 90% of the work to fuck us over and strip us of a golden and perhaps only chance to se our kings win it all. Dont get me wrong i hate tje lakers more than anyone but the hole or most of the blame has to go to the refs and the NBA. I remember this game like if it was yesterday and it still pisses me off. Little did i know the refs were wearing lakers colors under their shirts.

@willardjfilmore You are controlled by a pair of strings puppet

@19miguel82 how u not gonna put some of the blame on the lakers ? Did Kobe not fake food poisoning ? because he was drinking the night before blamed sacramento hotel , Phil jackson complaining to the refs the whole time , or the players flopping to make refs job easy when they seen what was happening , Kobe elbowing Bibby in the face of the closing secs of a 1 point game in a lakers elimination game , Kobe must of known he would get the call or he would be eliminated from playoffs

[19miguel82]

Its been 10 years and im still not over this fucked up elimination. Kings were a much better team than the Lakers and should have won easily in 5 games. I really loved basketball but since then i stoped watching for good. It wasnt the lakers players fault though, they were just playing but it still hurts like a mother fucker to see this as a kings fan.

4:50 is vintage kings.

Where was this fight from Sac Town in Game 7 :( if they fought this hard that game they would have won no doubt. Game 7 wasnt fixed like this one.
