I'm here early!! Let's go
Sounds like Steph Curry against the Lakers game 6 in LA like thee years ago when the Lakers shot 43 free throws. The bad calls haven't stopped. Even SGA gets too many calls in comparison to Curry. NBA will never acknowledge these things.
they did this for lakers against blazers too smh
great one mate
sad… just sad
This is such nonsense. The Kings not only shot more total free throws in the series 204 vs 185 the highest free throw differential in any game of the series was not Game 6 40 vs 25 in LA’s favor it was game 3 where the Kings shot 20 more free throws than LA 35 vs 15. Game 1 + 5 for LA, Game 2 + 13 for the Kings, Game 3 + 20 for the Kings, Game 4 + 1 for LA, Game 5 + 10 for the Kings, Game 6 +15 for LA, Game 7 + 3 for LA. The Kings simply lost. Those are the free throw differential stats and are facts. They missed their free throws while LA made theirs.
I've been hearing this same song for years. Sacramento had a chance to win on their home floor in game 7 and choked. Sure, that was a disparity in game 7. But Sacramento for the entire series did shoot more Free throws. If the league conspired against Sacramento, why only in game 6? Why not game 7? How come no one talks about game 7? You know, the game where the Sacramento Kings were only 16 for 30 from the three-throw line and the Lakers were 27 for 33? Chris Weber was inefficient, Doug Christie was a gross 2 for 11 and their best shooter Peja was 0-6 from 3pt. This is the real reason why Sacramento lost? When it was winning time they couldn't close. Even if we want to hang everything on game 6, that was still an entire game left to play and this is when the Lakers showed their championship metal and beat a team that wasn't mentally and emotionally ready. Because if Sacramento had somehow won game seven, we wouldn't be talking about game 6 and we all know it.
Why did Shaq get 1 free-throw the entire game 5 in the 2002 Kings series?
The answer you will find is that it's, the same reason Kobe didn't get any in the NBA Finals 2000 series & it's literally the most egregious conspiracy in all of sports history 🤷🏾 👇🏿👇🏿
"Kobe Conspiracy". It's a chilling conspiracy no doubt… 👇🏿
Kobe was in a league of his own no REFS 👇🏿👇🏿
(NBA Finals 2000 & 2001)
No Free-Throw Bias against (only) Kobe shooting fouls or reach in fouls (during opposing teams penalty for Hacking Shaq) Kobe literally got Zero Free-Throws proven in the breakdown 💯 (Kobe Slander Ends Here)
No Free-Throws for (ONLY KOBE)
👉🏿 shooting fouls👈🏿 or even a
👉🏿reach in fouls👈🏿 from game 1 end of the 4th Quarter with 1 minute remaining until game 6 closeout game (end of second quarter last min remaining).
👉🏿The Refs also in game 1 of the 2001 Finals did the same exact thing to (ONLY KOBE).
👉🏿LA was undefeated last loss 4/1/2001 then no losses until game 1. Iverson dropped 48 and the game went to OT. But Kobe got Zero Free-Throws via shooting fouls or reach in fouls that game.
The Kobe Slander Ends Here Video is utterly exposing the lies on my YT page Pookyman12 going VIRAL soon, God Willing..
No ONE has given a rebuttal or (righteous reasoning behind) why only Kobe went the entire Finals in 2000 without a single free-throw via shooting fouls until close-out game 6 end of 2nd quarter.
BTW my younger brother (Stepbrother) literally was Paige Buekers personal basketball trainer from early High-school years through to UCONN years. I made a video showing him doing a personal workout for both Paige & Azzi.
I pray that God the Great I AM allows my videos to go viral soon..
I'm waiting for Oldskoolbball to drop the breakdown potentially during this year's playoffs 🔥
Let me guess the referees helped make Sacramento miss their free throws too 😂
You have everyone triple teaming shaq but expect them him not to get fouled? BIAS detected lol
Why do you idiots keep showing the Mike Bibby when he clearly has his arms around his waist.
Kings got to open AND close the series at home and lost both games
The Kings choked a 24 point lead away in Game 4. Missed over half of their free throws in Game 7.
kings choked had home court and blew it twice on their own floor and they shot more free throws in the series. it's in the past let it go. They blew a 24 point lead in game 4 and choked at the ft line in game 7 at home. Revisionist history is a Mf'er isn't it?
(+30 Year LA Lakers Fan)
PRIME SHAQ got 1 free-throw the entire game 5 in the 2002 Kings series but folks say the refs wanted the Lakers to win!
There hasn't been one content creator online that mentions Shaq's no free-throw bias in game 5 of the 2002 Kings series… we gotta do better
Refs were probably in the same Freemason lodge as Shaq
Literally showing the video evidence that debunks the nonsense being spewed.
Kobe was a piece of shit for that elbow. Fuck those refs. Fuck those lakers. Fuck david stern got fuck his soul. Thst fucking zionist rigged so many games back then
Even before watching, great topic 🙂
The overwhelming bias in the comments in favor of the Lakers is EXACTLY why the NBA rigged this series: They know their fan base & Sacramento is just a drop in the bucket when it comes to bandwaggons compared to L.A.
I actually watched all nba championships since 1990 as I grew up with a stepfather from Chicago, so it was bulls everything all day. But i remember how LIT this series was but this & several other playoff series are so obvious they're rigged you'd have to be blind to not see it! From my keen observation i would say its been rigged since at least the late 80s. I have lebron & kobe over jordan but i still see the sport for what it is,ENTERTAINMENT nothing more
The 2002 NBA Finals, Super Bowl 40, and the 1985 World Series are the top 3 championships decided by the officials in my opinion.
Bro u tried
Justice was served when Shaq and Kobe got put in a spliff and smoked in 04 by my Pistons… and they should have been SWEPT!!! F the corrupt Lakers
Everyone who brings up Game 7 doesn’t realize that Game 7 never should have even happened. There would be no Game 7 if Game 6 had been called even remotely correctly.
It's no conspiracy,it's reality
The ref told us it was fixed for LA
It's not a conspiracy if the at the same time, the team you think got screwed choked away Games 4 and 7 of the series. PERIOD. They also SHOT MORE FREETHROWS than the Lakers in the whole series! The Kings being less clutch than LA cost them the series. All year long Sacramento was bragging about getting homecourt for the playoffs. They got it, then they blew it. The 2002 Kings were like the 2025 Blue Jays. Front running showboats who got folded by the superior team when it mattered the most. And THAT is what happened. Bad officiating went both ways in that series, everybody forgets about Game 5 and how the Lakers were getting fucked themselves. Sacramento choked. Pure and simple. Explain to me this, in the era of Hack-a-Shaq, how does he get only ONE free throw in game 5? This series was poorly called sure, but it wasn't rigged.
SCRIPTED
Sactowm got robbed, kings would have swept the nets in 4 too. 1800gambler for them refs friends
I always tell people, I grew up on the laker showtime era and my parents named me after Kareem Abdul Jabbar. Been a laker fan all my life. Never gonna forget this series, as a laker fan Kobe and Shaq dominated the league. It was as if it was unfair having those 2 superstars together in 1 team, but watching this series as a laker fan I could clearly see Sacramento was the better team. To me when they got Mike Bibby, Sacramento Kings was one of the best teams ever assembled. I just laugh at the laker fans that deny that the Lakers won this series fair and square😂
If you can bet on it it's rigged!
Flopping should be F cking ILLEGAL!!!!!!
@7:30 Shaq steps over the line on the free throw. He did that the whole series and not one call. Sac shouldve been vocal about that
greatest trio of all time. kobe Shaq and tim donaghy
We all saw it, highway robbery
And idgaf about Sacramento. And Dallas got robbed in '06 & OKC in 2012
Kobe fans can't admit this was rigged
IF U REPLACE KOBE…WITH LEBRON…
THIS WOULD BE USED AGAINST HIM IN EVERY DEBATE.. but GOD forbid u say 1 negative thing about Kobe😒🤦♂️
There was no conspiracy. The Kings just couldn’t beat the Lakers, it’s that simple.
There will never be a more rigged game in sports history. I remember watching it and being completely shocked, but knowing the fix was in.
Game 4 Samaki Walker makes a 3 that was late (after buzzer sounded but no replay back then) before halftime.. so lakers are down 14 instead of 17
Thats why the lakers stole game 4.. I watched that game live an vividly recall that
Go figure it came back to cost them dearly
BULLSHIT,, UR MAKING STORIES NOW
