It's currently the offseaon i'm buzzed lol, I re-watched this game again, thanks for those who pointed it was just game 6 not the entire series lols saves me time.

For those who don't know yes there was betting on the refs in this game.

My breakdown is as follows for each quarter fouls only

1st Quarter Breakdowns

Foul 1: Bibby gets screen from Vlade, pulls up for shot, foul by Fisher
clear foul by Fisher = Crowed booing LOL
Bibby Makes 1of2

Webber 3 in the key, first time of the series lol
Kobe 1of1 FT

Foul 2: Kobe had clear rebound, Webber goes in tries to steal ball away from Kobe, Webber keeps back chatting to REFS clear tech and Kobe makes FT

Foul 3:
Kobe pulls up for a mid range classic ... Bibby gets called for the foul, but as you watch the replay, Bibby does not foul Kobe. If anything should have been made basket and possession for Kings. Heat in the game would be tough for all refs to call this?

Foul 4: Bibby tries to drive around Shaq, clear foul on Shaq

Foul 5: Fisher goes coast to coast, thought he was fouled? Kobe fouls to stop transition nothing to see here.

Foul 6: Webber gets called driving to the hoop, fouled by Fox, nothing to see here. Webber makes 1of2

Foul 7: Bibby pulls up for a long 2, get's foul by Fisher, foul2.
Bibby makes 2of2

Foul 8:
Reach in foul on Kobe
Webber yet again 1of2 FT

Foul 9:
Clear reach in foul on Hunter
Bibby 2of2?

Foul 10:
Foul on Vlade as Shaq gets the ball ... LOL commentator says 1,2,3 but FFS how quick are your 1,2,3's lols.

Foul 11:
offensive foul on Vlade a no brainer, honestly you can't roll like that and fall down expect a call right?
while passing off mind you lols.


one official says foul, the other says NO LOL. questionable here it's a travel?


Foul 12: Spin move by Shaq clear foul on Pollard the bench player for Vlade
Shaq 1of1 lols

Shaq went down, Pollard should have been called for charge? foul let go. Your call.


Slims 1st quarter breakdowns

1 foul when Kobe pull up on Bibby should have been a no call but Kobe bucket and Kings possession

overall the fouls were fair, kings missed a lot of easy shots and FT's, that's on them not the REFS

Foul 5:

So I´m supposed to spend 2 hours to watch a full game to figure out a game was rigged that Donaghy specifically named in court, Kobe stated confirmed it being rigged as player on the opposing team and countless videos and articles on that topic, so that I can vote here?

What´s next, figure out if 1 Million really comes after 999.999 by counting with your fingers?

Sure, you start.

Let me know when you get to 999,998

[Blame Rasho]

I am of the opinion that no team deserves to win if they miss their free throws. The Kings missed a ton of free throws in game 6. They could have won if they made their free throws.

With that being said, there were some beyond awful calls that no logical person could really defend that went in the Lakers favor. The idea that the game was called fairly is really pushing it.

They shot 18/25 in game 6. It´s also a bit silly to say that in general when Shaq is on the opposing team and this was one of the very rare Playoff series where he shot over 60% from the line.

Can you post the video of Kobe saying the game was rigged? I’ve never seen that

Same, I heard him say they missed lots of free throws.

You've never seen it cause Kobe never said it. I doubt he'd want another reason for NBA fans to say that title didn't count.

OP's full of ****.

You think someone would do that? Just go on the internet and tell lies?

I will wait for the video of Kobe saying the game was rigged. I’m sure he will post it soon.

[BigGargamel]

Peak Laker fan delusion in this thread.

[FrobeBryant]

Lakers haters will always say it’s rigged and Lakers apologists will always call the haters conspiracy theorists. There’s no middle ground here.

To be fair, Rasho is right; they just got the wrong game. Game 7 was IMO the worst FT shooting performance by a team in NBA history considering the stakes. 16/30 from the line in a Game 7 at home that went to OT. Meanwhile, Shaq was 11/15 from the charity stripe.

Yeah but Game 7 doesn´t happen if the Kings win game 6.

Here you go.

He said yes due to finding out "after the fact" that the ref had money on the game.

I mean that in general. Hey I am a Spurs fan… let’s look at game 6 with the Spurs and Heat. You know the Ray Allen three… if the Spurs didn’t miss their free throws, that wouldn’t have been an issue. It is what it is.

You asked me for proof that Kobe said that the game was rigged. I send a link where he literally gets asked "2002 Western Conference Finals, was it rigged?", which he answers with a "yes", based on the ref betting money on the game as clear proof and now your issue is that he was aware of that .

Somehow it will be kinda hard to find an interview before this was publicly known where a reporter asks Kobe as an active NBA player if he thinks the refs rigged the game and he will say "Yes of course."
