In 2002 the Sacramento Kings had one of the most well balanced teams of all time. Led by Chris Webber, Peja Stojakovic, Mike Bibby, Vlade Divac and Doug Christie the Kings had the best record in the entire league. If not for some questionable officiating in the 2002 Western Conference Finals against the Lakers the Kings may have won their first NBA championship.

  • I've never seen an NBA team get robbed so blatantly. Kobe literally punched Mike Bibby in the face, and they called a foul on Mike Bibby
  • The euphoria in Serbia was huge for the Kings. I remember as a kid waking up watching some of those games. We were all sad Peja and Vlade didn't win a title then but 20 years later Nikola Jokic gave as similar filing and won a title
  • Stern gets romanticized for being this great Commissioner, but dude was a Tyrant, who obviously fixed certain "situations" for certain Teams, and Players. I'm sure that Team Picture played a role in Stern not wanting the Kings to go to the Finals. A lot of people watched and rooted for the Kings, so Ratings would NOT have been an issue.
  • Kings vs lakers was the cleanest most fair playoffs game in the history of the NBA.. when mike Bibby used his head to harm Kobe's elbow the refs quickly called a foul on Bibby because they knew it was a dirty play, luckily kobe didn't hurt his elbow!

    Game 6 was one of those games where it didn't matter if it did go to seven. It was that pain of inevitability that it was over. The 2002 Western Conference Finals, 2001 Eastern Conference Finals, and keeping Donald Sterling as owner of the Clippers make me f**** hate David Stern. I would have been okay with a Sacramento Kings vs New Jersey Nets NBA Finals.
  • As a life long Kings fan it hurt to watch this video but the kind words are always appreciated. Not gonna dwell on the past while I'm tearing up so I agree with the last sentence. LIGHT THE DAMN BEAM 💜💜💜
  • As a lifelong Kings fan you have no idea the feeling of pain and heartbreak following the game 7 loss in ‘02. Felt like the Kings outplayed the Lakers & to this day I’m still wondering how did they lose?
  • @JD-iu6rv
    I’m not a conspiracy theorist but that 2002 Western Conference game 6 is extremely fishy
  • @MartelLamar
    A small fact folks forget is that, in game 4, at the end of the first half, Samaki Walker “made” a shot at the buzzer, but the clock had already expired. Later, Horry’s shot gave them the 1-pt win, which wouldn’t have been possible without that earlier shot. Later, the NBA established the backboard lights to light at the end of quarters to help determine whether the ball was released on time.
  • Simple fact that 2002 was rigged, every real NBA fan just feels for Sacramento fans cause if that was your team you would hate the system too. Shaq and Kobe, love em to death they only have 2 earned championship to they name. It's sad the underdogs and the other guys of the era don't have the chip they should have as well. David Stern and just sucking off the Lakers, I swear
  • @saiken811
    As a Kings fan from the late 90s, it still hurts, but thanks for showing the team some love!
  • Thank you for bringing attention to this. There was a great youtube series detailing the way the NBA brass robbed the Kings but it was suspiciously removed from Youtube. It was called The Greatest Tragedy In Sports and was better than most sports docs Ive seen
  • I became a Kings fan by accident around this time. I just watched the playoffs and thought their team was super solid and enjoyable.
  • That was tough to relive. I was rooting for them against the Lakers.
  • It still hurts until this day. Being from Michigan we was rooting for webber and they killed the lakers. Even with all the cheating they was still winning without the refs the kings win in 6
  • This is absurd I just met Doug Christe at Costco 4 days ago 😂😂😂
  • @samk1146
    loved the video! would you guys consider covering the '06-'07 Phoenix Suns? I feel like that was another instance of bad officiating from the refs screwed over a team
  • Defensive rules and pace of play are why the scoring was so low in the 90’s and early 2000’s. The superstars that averaged 25+ in this era were so impressive.
  • @Buggy99
    Suggestion may be out of left field but how about the 80’s Bucks? They made the playoffs pretty much every year, won 60, 59 & 57 games in a season, and had one of the most underrated players of all time in Sidney Moncreif.
