How did the Kings win in 2001 dumbass

Shaq dominated an era when Center position was dying.

LMAO the Kings got swepted in 2001. How tf the 2001 WCSF was rigged?!

you mean kings won 2002

Bro hurt lol

It wasn't correct. Respect to Kobe and Shaq, but I lost all respect for the NBA after that, and it seems I'm probably correct.

Cry me a river

How can we forget?!

@Thomas Sankara yes, i live in LA. Even some of the regular season games were rigged during the 3 peat and the year after.

Sabonis would eat Shaq alive in his Prime

How were their championships BS? All 3 championships were legit

I don’t hear nobody talk about the Sixers vs Bucks series or the Cavs vs Warriors series

@@aaronrooks2703 except 2002

@inspekta6 They were. NBC was probably behind this. People should watch Karceno4Life's 6-part documentary on the fake 90's Bull Dynasty. It should also shine a light on what happened in the early-00's. My belief: After the 99 lockout season (when the Spurs won), NBC's Dick Ebersol decided to replace the retired MJ with Shaq and Kobe as the new good guys (with Ebersol, he saw it as a TV show, not a real sport). In those three years, the league did everything it could to make sure that the Lakers won the title every year.

Nobody owned the refs like Jordan. If you didnt know that then you werent alive back then.

Steve Javie is a liar. Even he didn't "rig" games, he still did because he had vendettas against certain players and effectively tilted the game against them. That is "rigging" in my opinion.

So if that's the case why was pippen illegal the whole series? they weren't calling it

A 15 pt lead in the 4th should've been enough to overcome the refs.

@Blaise Semenya That’s blasphemy Put some respect on Pippen MJ & Pippen needed each other to win chips. I recall MJ getting put out in the 1st round before Bulls drafted Pippen and it took Pippen to develop into a Star for MJ to win chips in the 90s Pippen 2nd banana on MJs Bulls but don’t be disrespectful Pip is a legend

No pippen had a game 7 to beat the Knicks it was only game 5 where the Hubert Davis call happened it was the second round.. even if bulls won that game they didn’t move on yet.. they got beat convincingly in game 7.. now this series was rigged as fuck

@@depannist I agree Portland just choked. If Portland did not miss 13 straight shots they would have won.

Facts they made sure pippen didn’t get to the finals would ruin jordan legacy

Then, you missed out on the likes of the San Antonio Spurs and Golden State Warriors.

Same here

I stopped watching for 20 years. I think I will make it another 20.

The foul disparity was 31 on Portland and 25 for L. A. But take away the 5 intentional fouls in the last 40 seconds and it becomes 26 whistled on Portland and 25 on L. A. Portland choked. Get over it.

@@redpillfreedom6692 check the time of the fouls called by half’s then holla back

I dont think the players are actors but some games are just bullshit. Clearly there is some manipulation of outcomes going on.

06 finals were the dirtiest. 3 of Shaqs rings were screw jobs. Helps playing for Riley, Jackson, in Miami or L.A. and being buddy, buddy owners with the league. I think it would be better for the league to want Kings, Blazers types to win.

@@brando4422 facts. But it’s all about marketing. They want a “face” for the NBA & viewer ship ratings that will bring in money. Not the Blazers, not the Kings. NBA rigged to this day

I guess you didnt see when the Lakers were robbed in game 5???

@@itruck96 I did. It was terrible officiating but nothing like Game 6. If whataboutism is your defense, you lost.

Jordan got calls too...

@@ezekwu not like this. These were bad calls during critical points in the game

True, except that Glen Sarah Palin In The Ass Fucking Rice is a pretty decent 3rd option.

Exactly! They didn't want another Shaq/Penny ending.

The Lakers should not have won any of their early 2000s titles. It was rigged against Philadelphia too

So by your logic, every NBA dynasty is a farce? Heh. Go see a shrink because you can't handle greatness.

@@joesakic91 yes and no. The 80s and 90s weren't. The 00s and 10s dynasties were a complete product of officiating. The 2007 Spurs vs Suns. 2018 Rockets vs Warriors. 2002 Kings vs Lakers.

@@thomassankara1391 Sour grapes from you, dynasty and legacy hater. Even with the bad calls, the Suns, Rockets and Kings still had chance after chance to eliminate those teams, but they failed to seal the deal. Blaming the officials isn't good for your health and well-being. Sorry about your damn luck. The Phoenix Suns, Houston Rockets, and Sacramento Kings' drought clocks continue to grow. Don't have a go at me. I got nothing to do with their failures.

@@joesakic91 I'm a Bucks fan. But let's see how the Lakers will fair with Bad calls. Oh yeah, they got blown out in game 2 of the NBA Finals 2008. And they Ultimately lost that series that the Officials were literally giving to Boston. And in 2010 Boston got screwed over in Game 6 and in Game 7 the Lakers shot 21 FTs in the 4th. But 15 through the 1st 3Q, 5 in each. Just like Boston. But Boston only shot 6 in the 4th. And they lost by 4. You don't have any idea how officials impact the game. Waving made 3s off is the definition of rigging, especially when the foul is called on the ball handler like Harden, who draws contact to force up a shot. At the end of the day, the NBA, NFL, MLB and NHL are all classified as sports entertainment and they'll screw over the small market teams in order to attract more ratings and money. It's emotionally invested fans like you who can't see through this and think it's all fair and square and it's all about better teams. And that match fixing is a myth even though the Mafia bets on pro sports games which was what Tim Donaghy went to jail for: illicit gambling practices. Not fixing games because games are fixed. Most when it comes to playoff time.

@@thomassankara1391 Well, there's a reason why teams like the Lakers, Celtics, Bulls with Michael Jordan, Warriors, and Spurs have five or more NBA titles while others like the Bucks, Hawks, Clippers, Suns and Kings have the five longest NBA title droughts in NBA history. Those five teams in the Lakers, Celtics, Bulls with MJ, Warriors, and Spurs turned off the distractions like the officials and kept playing basketball to win games and titles while those five teams have longer title and NBA Finals appearance droughts keep blaming everybody else except themselves. BTW, the Pedowitz report had the final word and they disagree Tim Donaghy's claims. LeBron James said it best after the Lakers won their 17th NBA title in 2020: It's obvious that you don't want to give respect where respect is earned and due.

The nfl does the same. Look what they've done to try and prop mahomes up to recreate Brady and the Patriots run. These leagues know what they're doing from an entertainment standpoint. See something that worked, rig it for someone else to try and recreate it. Not as interesting for the average fan if a different team wins each year

The Spurs were helped in 07 but Tim donaghy and his crew. Other than that they were respectable. Should’ve been the suns in 07

True but you can also argue that Bulls had all that help and Jordan still only won 6 rings

@@Ravens4life5true, but at the same time, Spurs were screwed by refs in game 6 2013 finals. Not related but OKC was screwed the year before in 2012.

Denver was not going to the finals lol

Sorry but no. Denver got ran off the court by the Lakers in 2020.

You take fish out of water then said you could swim... Sabonis wasn't 6points 5rebound Guy. He was the best european ever. This was maybe the most disgusting sport event ever.

Foul trouble??

Maybe the person hit by a drunk driver should use evasive procedures to avoid getting killed. Same energy, same idiocy.

Shaq hooked his arm, that’s not a shove. You’ve never been on a court in your life, or played sports

good question. why are the refs rigged this game?

Because game 7= more revenue

Bigger drama bigger views bigger money 🤷‍♂️

So what your saying is the lakers got screwed too????

Keep your looney behind up we know u a fake Lakers fan

Shaq wasn't called on several obvious fouls he committed and Sabonis was on the bench with 3 of the 5 very cheap calls for large stretches of that fourth quarter, fouling out with 3:30 to play. Cut the BS that it comes down to bad shooting. Take Shaq off the floor for most of the fourth as he should have been and lets see how that defense holds up with no rim protector, especially if Sabonis was in the game for rebounding the way Shaq was. Then check the shooting statistics. Or check the freethrow disparity, the easiest place to see a one sided referee jobbing as the Steve Smith hammered by Shaq in the video demonstrates in an obvious manner. Not calling fouls that should be for example aids that 5-23 shooting you point to. Your commentary doesn't take the game seriously at all. It takes no interest in personnel on the court and the different ways that effects the game. It takes no interest in how the game is called and how that effects the two teams and the way they are forced to play. All of this is on top of the reality we know the games were being rigged in that era. It's not some conspiracy theory. That shit happened and there just are several games where it was obvious.

@@johnhorton5627 Well since you apparently have comprehension problems, I guess I'll have to repeat myself If the game was rigged, it makes absolutely no logical sense to allow the alleged intended loser to build a 16 point lead in the final quarter of play. None. Whatsoever. You're putting your fix in serious jeopardy by doing so. Add on top of that, it also makes no logical sense to whistle your alleged intended winner for 4 team fouls with nearly 8 minutes left when they're trying to make a double-digit comeback. None. Whatsoever. It also makes no logical sense to whistle the superstar player of your alleged intended winner for 3 fouls IN THE FIRST HALF if the game is rigged. None. Whatsoever. As for the FT disparity, the Lakers last 10 FT attempts were from intentional fouls. Take away those 5 intentional fouls in the last 40 seconds, and the foul disparity becomes 26 for Portland and 25 for L. A. Hardly an indication of favoritism. As for the Sabonis fouls, so what? Did the Sabonis fouls make the Trail Blazers incapable of hitting a single shot for the next 8 minutes? Just 2 or 3 makes would have stymied the Lakers rally The referees didn't use telekinesis to cause Portland to miss all those shots in the 4th quarter. They did that themselves. Because they crapped their pants. You'd realize all this if you tried thinking logically for a change instead of blindly believing what conspiracy theorists tell you to think. Either that or you have an extreme case of sour grapes. Either way, it's clear you only see what you want to see. That's all I'm going to say to you because I have no interest in wasting any more time with you than I already have.

@@redpillfreedom6692 Apparently you do have time to say the same thing again, but not to address the personnel issue. Sabonis gave Shaq lots of trouble and kept him off the boards. That spectacular dunk for example does not happen if Sabonis is back and on the court as he should have been. 3 incredibly cheap calls again Sabonis, one that was clearly an offensive foul comitted by Shaq was a huge factor in that game. That was a jobbing by the refs and it's clear as day it wasn't one sided officiating in favor of Shaq and the Lakers. It's not a conspiracy theory to simply watch the replay of the fouls levied against Sabonis and notice they were incredibly cheap calls. That's where you are full of BS and you of course didn't address it, not because it's not an important factor in the game, but because you know you can't and seem at all reasonable.

@@johnhorton5627 m.kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oJmXn9qlvdjOYJc.html

@@redpillfreedom6692 The refs weren't going to make it THAT obvious. Not until 2002 vs. the Kings anyway.

You are full of shit. The free throw disparity was 35-16.

robbereal1982 refs fouled out key players

I watched this game live nobody was crying fix and sabonis who was darn near existent was the only one to foul out. Clearly you haven't seen this game or the series. The lakers were on that run with him in the game.

no buddy i watched the game live as well.... don't assume i don't know this stuff. Pippen was fouled out as well and the last two calls on sabonis were terrible. Without sabonis and pippen nobody could guard shaq and kobe.

Skip 2 My Lou pippen fouled out with like 40 sec left on an intentional foul stop. Try again. The lakers just won.

robbereal1982 still being in foul trouble changes the entire game and how it is played are you going to say 2002 wcf wasnt rigged either? Its quite obvious david stern even said himself he likes seeing the lakers in the finals every year.

You sound like an Alabama fan. Its wins, its losses, its schedule, its conference, its eye test, its whatever it takes for us to get in. BTW those 15 other chips (another Bama fan favorite) have nothing to do with this one . Only a fanatic could watch this clip and not say "i can understand your point of view, even though i disagree with you".

@Roy Llamas People say that 2000 wcf, 2002 wcf, 2010 finals was rigged for the Lakers to win... I even heard old heads say that 1988 Finals was rigged for the Lakers to win... I see videos like this manipulating people with certain 50/50 calls, no calls that went the Lakers way to say that the game is rigged for the Lakers to win. But don’t show any calls that went the other teams way. Say Shaq and Lakers was gifted games because Lakers shot 25-30 FTs in the 4th Quarter, but leave out that the other team sent players out there to intentionally foul Shaq (hack-a-Shaq) to put him on the line all those times. Nobody says it was rigged for MJs Bulls to win in the 90s, it was rigged for the 60’s Celtics to win, it was rigged for the 00’s Spurs to win, it was rigged for GSW to win... Only the Lakers... These are butthurt Haters, that cannot cope that their favorite team wasn’t the better team in the game/series so they make up false narratives and conspiracy theories to justify their team losing to the Lakers.

Because its biggest market thats why all about money rigged for them this year too all them championships paid for no respect from me lol

@@manniesupasport7977 Lebron James said it best after the Lakers won their 17th NBA title: it's obvious that you just don't wanna give respect where respect is due and earned.
