Yeah and the refs had to screw them no disrespect to the lakers but the refs screwed the kings that series they should've won it with the way they played
@@kendlehill1445 But the Kings still had to make a few more plays to win either Games 4, 6, or 7 of the 2002 WCF and they didn't when they lost all three.
I remember this game like yesterday. Growing up as a Kings fan and being used to losing year after year, few might understand how surreal it was to see them get this close to the NBA finals. Unfortunately the rest of the series was heartbreaking as I felt the Kings outplayed the Lakers in this series and deserved to win, oh well..
@@TV-ob1if bullshit. Jackson got flat out coached this series by adelman. No way cwebb and bibby should’ve went toe to toe with Kobe and shaq. Everyone talks about game 6 but go look back at game 4. The kings had a 20+ lead and next thing you know shaq was at the free throw line every minute and he decides to become Dirk all of a sudden. The Lakers had a better team top to bottom if you look at how injured Sacramento was. You add all that to the ref literally admitting malfeasance and you have a rigged series unfortunately and it saved a lot of legacies for the lakers
@@mattkhanna here is a tissue for your issues. You crybabies forget that the players still have to make plays and there’s always always an excuse losers make for failure- always.
I remember being hype after this game it's not too many Kings fans here in Philly so making it to WCF and going for blood against the Lakers was everything to me this series still breaks my heart damn...
my favorite NBA player, this dude was my favorite guy when I was younger, LAL and the refs screwed the Kings over, but this was my main dude right here.
I'm a Lakers Fan, but I have to admit the 2002 Kings outplayed us. I saw the elbow Kobe hit Bibby with. I also know one of the refs I think his name is Donaghy robbed you of the series. I still think you guys let Game 4, and 7 slip away. I really wanted you guys to win after the Lakers, were eliminated in the 2003 Semi-Finals. Unfortunately you lost Game 7 to the Timberwolves. After that the team started getting broken up. That 2002 Kings squad scared me. Much props for giving us hell. It sucks on how, a dirty ref tainted the series. I hope you guys, get some chemistry together, and make another run. One!
That was an illegal moving screen from Webber. Offensive foul on Webber no call. Webber was the last guy to touch the ball when it went out of bounds at 11.4 seconds, not shown in this video. Say Fisher flopped... Hell Vlade fraudulent ass was flopping the whole series...
Mannie Supa Sport bruh your team won and you still gonna pick fights and you can clearly see that Webber’s feet where planted and he moved when Derek Fisher flew right into him lol
Why nobody talk about the refs this game? Webber with illegal screen on Fisher for Bibby to hit the game winner. Or Bobby Jackson grabbing Kobe's jersey on the last shot. If refs were for lakers either one of those should have been called.
Greatest sporting event I have ever seen in person. People swinging cowbells the size of bowling balls. Couldn’t even hear yourself scream. It was a travesty that series was officiated by Tim. The kings were the better team that series and deserved to win and go on to win the title. I’ll always remember that game winner by Bibby.
What people don't understand Tim Donaghy didn't ref the game six of the wcf 2002 he said that he knew that the league wanted a game 7 of that series so game 6 was ref.. to make sure game 7 was going to happen it was the last year of the NBA on nbc and the rights to broadcast NBA was coming up the higher the ratings the more money the NBA would get so they screwed the kings to make a game 7... because the east was awful that year they knew the best series was the kings vs lakers that year
The time I lost respect for the lakers and the refs. Absolute disgrace to the game of basketball. Sacramento got screwed by the refs big time in this series.
Biggest robbery in the HISTORY OF SPORTS is what happened to the 02 Kings. If they won this series as they should’ve, if it weren’t for the Zebras then stayed healthy; I believe they could’ve gone back to back. They moved the ball with such beauty, and an ELITE 3/D guy in a Christie, had a top tier scorer and the best 3 point shooter in Peja, a top tier PG who could lead a team and score as well as close the game. They also had two elite post up options; Webber could do it all and when he was healthy he was a 25/11/5 guy (ELITE) and Vlade who was a complete center. Oh and they had a lot of depth, lead by two double digit scorers in Bobby Jackson and a young Hedo, either could score 20 a game if needed. Also had Pollard who was a damn good post defender and rebounder. (Young Gerald Wallace too) A travesty. They were complete and a legit 8-9 players deep and had far more top to bottom talent than the Lakers. Except the Lakers had the three biggest stars in the series.. Steve Javie, Donaghy, and Joey Crawford. **Conor McGregor voice FOOK THE NBA
I know the Refs screw the Kings but do you guys think they would beat the Nets as well? Nets were a tougher team than you think. Especially with one of the best PG's in the history of the game.
Well if you really think about it the Lakers swept the Nets and the Kings deserved to beat the Lakers in game 6 so technically the nets would get an even worse beating, but you never know maybe the nets would have a easier time playing against the kings play style idk.
Lifelong laker fan here... Sac was clearly the better team in this series... Very entertaining and stressful 7 game series.. Seems Buss paid up and bought out the series... Let's be honest... No one wanted a sac / NJ. Finals series...
Ball goes off Webber, gets awarded to the Kings. Webber commits blatant offensive foul on hip check/moving screen, no call. Bobby Jackson literally pulls Kobe's jersey out of his shorts, no call. But yeah, the league was rigged against you. Bottom line is, you had Game 7 on your home court and you couldn't get it done. Period. Forever the Sacramento Queens.
Such a beautiful series, shame game 6 was fixed, but laker won game 7 fair. I seriously believe king's win game six to advance to the finials but wasnt to be
@@Heroicenemy You can blame Lebron James and Chris Webber choking in the 4th qtr in the 2002 WCF and 2011 NBA finals for the reason Bibby doesn’t have a ring.
This team played with so much passion
Yeah and the refs had to screw them no disrespect to the lakers but the refs screwed the kings that series they should've won it with the way they played
A sweet machine of a team. From the bigs to the guards.
Sacramento Bibby was so valuable.
@@kendlehill1445 But the Kings still had to make a few more plays to win either Games 4, 6, or 7 of the 2002 WCF and they didn't when they lost all three.
I'll never forget this series.
Nas me neither bro me neither😢
Mike Bibby is a legend. All of the starters on the ‘02 Kings are
Legendary losers. Bibby is a rapist like Danny Masterson.
2002 Kings, one of my favorites! Webber-Peja-Bibby!
If the Kings make it to the playoffs, I hope they get a chance to have memories like this.
Light that mf beam baby!
Here we are...LIGHT THE BEAM!!!

I feel the pain bro😭
I think we all felt that way and I wasn’t even a kings fan but this team was just fun to watch

The real nba 2002 champs
Knowing that ref Tim Donaghy got arrested for fixing game 6 does nothing to make me feel better.
That's asking a lot of a team to play both against a talented organization and corrupt referees. This is just the reality of what happened.
Sure
@Adrian Flores u don't know shit
Nope lol

As a lakers fan I miss these classics. Basketball ain't the same in today's game. R.I.P Kobe, gigi, and those other passengers that lost their lives.
Yes its definitely was more watchable then but you cant lie basketball now is watchable again sice like 2016💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Amen.

nah. the kings choked.
KORY ANDREL SCOTT every ref is a dirty ref
BEST MOMENT IN KING'S HISTORY!
Kings are playoff bound!
I hope we can have more moments like this soon at the new arena
Times like the one's we had doesn't come around often.
And when it was our time, David Stern rigged it for the lakers
Yeah we still stink
@@jacobreed93 we’re doing really good we’re number 2 in western
@@atishark6275 First playoff appearance since 2006.
I can't stop laughing when I see Fisher on the side, trying to flop on that Chris Webber screen lmao

Bibby was a clutch catch, an spurs fan but would have loved to see kings win a title.
Couldn't believe this was 19 years ago, how time flies. I watched this game live on TV back then.
Greatest sporting event I ever went to.
Let's go!! 2023! Bring the Arco thunder to Golden 1 center!
Remember this day back in 2002 and now that the Kings are back in the playoffs at a 3rd seed and just won game 1 against the warriors. Love it
Biggest shot in Kings history
The refs ruined this team, what a team mike bibby, peja stojakovic, vlade divac, chris webber, bobby Jackson etc...
The Kings was fun to watch during these years that was my team
That’s when the refs knew they had to give the Lakers a little help.
Wish there is a HD versions of these...

My favorite player in nba pc game when i was a kid ..
fucking memories ! talk about a real tough nba basketball time !
Here after the Kings clinched a playoff berth.
The glory days...
This makes me even sicker to know that next game the series was gonna be over... Then THE SHOT HEARD AROUND THE WORLD
Amen
As a laker fan,I cherish these battles
Playoffs next year please kings!!
Can't wait to see Golden 1 rockin tonight. #Lightthebeam
LIGHT THE BEAM!!!!!
The good ol days
Bibby was a better point guard with the Kings than Jason Williams (White Chocolate) was.
Damn that was a cold team, should have won the ship that yr too!!!
Fuckin memories .. this was BASKETBALL!
Mike Bibby man. I had at least 3 of your kings jerseys.
Bibby over white chocolate any day.
Ya that team had enough passers anyway
This is real ball.
Go kings
Fuck yea baby Kings up baby loved that Era of Kings basketball
This was so sad what they did to the kings man, this series shouldn’t have been close
Unfortunately, the Kings did it to themselves.
The Kings had more free throw attempts in the 2002 WCF than the Lakers, 204-185.
Golden 1 center will be like this for game 1
no golden 1 game will ever be as loud as arco was, but i do agree it’ll be loud
Never forget this series was RIGGED
It still hurts 😭
As a Lakers fan I seriously thought this was it after this game. This one hurt so much
15 years later Kings fans still crying
You beat off to Shaq
當年我有看到這場比賽，這個系列戰真的有夠好看!!
真的好想看國王五虎拿冠軍....
This is the moment that I jumped for joy when Bibby made THE SHOT and I ruptured my Achilles Tendon!!!!
The mid range the lost art
Nice screen from Cweb
Sacramento stood on top of the world that night
Sacramento dream team.

FUCK that fuck the Lakers

FOOK THE NBA
Shout to Bobby Jackson, ripping Kobe's jersey off on the final possession right in front of the referee
Bibby should have given fisher some percentage in the contract that he got...
I know the Refs screw the Kings but do you guys think they would beat the Nets as well? Nets were a tougher team than you think. Especially with one of the best PG's in the history of the game.
The nets went 0-4 in finals that year
Well if you really think about it the Lakers swept the Nets and the Kings deserved to beat the Lakers in game 6 so technically the nets would get an even worse beating, but you never know maybe the nets would have a easier time playing against the kings play style idk.
I don’t get why people flop with the game on the line. At least it didn’t cost them the series
Bobby Jackson locked up Kobe on that last shot
Those KINGS were supposed to be champion that year
Shoulda, coulda, woulda
Lifelong laker fan here...
Sac was clearly the better team in this series...
Very entertaining and stressful 7 game series..
Seems Buss paid up and bought out the series...
Let's be honest...
No one wanted a sac / NJ. Finals series...
Who gives a fuck what y’all want. They should’ve won that year no doubt
Sac wanted it!! Lol
...but I’ll be sure to come back when the Lakers beat the Kings in May
Kings had a fuckin squad
What shouldve happened in game 7
nba needs to forfeit lakers 2002 title
Same for Queen James.
@Russ Perk Then, the NBA should forfeit titles from every NBA dynasty.
Sour grapes from you.

Lol
Well said
Still there was more bad calls against the kings but honestly besides that I completely agree
He should go beat hall of fame officiLs
that is kimik a e from side to side
This is literally a handicap match Kings vs 2002 NBA Refs and Lakers.
Such a beautiful series, shame game 6 was fixed, but laker won game 7 fair. I seriously believe king's win game six to advance to the finials but wasnt to be
If Game 6 was not fixed there is no Game 7. After the fixed Game 6 the Kings lost their momentum for Game 7.
The Lakers had no business winning these 2002 WCF or the 2000 WCF against Portland.
Of course Fisher flops lol
Stephen A . Smith brought me here
Me too lol
Illegal pick by webber
Kings should've won this series in 5 games
Bobby Jackson fouled the hell out of Kobe. 😂😂😂. Queens still cry after losing
That was a foul. Moving pick
We could've beat the Nets in 6 games with this team..dont @ me!
Still Kings all day!
The game had meaning up into 2010, now it’s just pick up open gym play
I still can't believe he squandered his chance at a ring by not making any shots in the finals in 2011. He just disappeared.
Bibby didn't play a whole lot in that series anyway. Even if he was scoring it wouldn't have done much
Wasn't really his fault they lost.
Leaves the next year and the Heat win the title without him. Meanwhile Peja and Pollard win rings elsewhere lol
@@Heroicenemy You can blame Lebron James and Chris Webber choking in the 4th qtr in the 2002 WCF and 2011 NBA finals for the reason Bibby doesn’t have a ring.
