Shaq O'Neal 41 pts,17 reb,Kobe 31 pts,11 reb, playoffs 2002, lakers vs kings game 6

Shaq and Kobe dominated that game,,,,,,,,and shaq's free throw numbers was incredible.....12-16

[@Eightohh4tosevenfive7]

72 points 28 rebounds in a must win game between the 2 players is ridiculous. The playoff version of the lakers from 2001-2002 is possibly the most dominating team in nba history they were 8-1 against prime tim duncans spurs, 6-0 against portland, swept the kings in 2001 and went 8-1 in the finals (would've been 8-0 if not for allen iverson miracle game 1 in 2001) this was their only challenge in either year.

[@JOSH5000K]

Neither "carried" the other. Only role players get "carried". The reason people say that about Kobe is because Shaq was so dominant in the FINALS that he blew Kobe's stats out the water. It's a similar thing between Lebron and Kyrie last year. Kobe/Kyrie outscored Kobe/Lebron in earlier rounds but as rounds got tougher, the best players dominated more.

[@blacknetsmed]

You absolutely can't watch yesteryear's NBA game with today's context. Volume 3pt shooting was irrelevant back then in the illegal defense days. The NBA mostly shot 12ft-18ft jumpers. The 3pt shot was considered to be a 'low percentage' shot back then based on league average in field goal percentage beyond the arc. Coaches were adamant against players shooting 'too many' 3s.

[@Tehui1974]

[@MrLakerfan2490]

To get this over with: Both teams had the right to be complaining, the Kings just do so to this day because they lost, and because Game 6 was much more blatant than any other game in the series, therefore easier to stick to people's minds. If you just isolate plays you can make the case that it was rigged for both teams. That's just how easy it is for the truth to be distorted. Shaq was getting calls in Staples, and in Arco Arena he was getting called for bullshit fouls and he was getting the shit beat out of him but the refs called nothing. Divac's flops worked in Sacramento but not in LA. And let's face it, you can't give HIM the benefit of the doubt. I'm not gonna get into this whole Game 2 thing when Kobe got food poisoning because we can never know for sure what happened. In Game 4, which by the way the Kings blew despite leading by 24, Divac could just grab the rebound and seal the game at the free throw line, but he foolishly slapped the ball and it ended up to Horry who (God knows why) was waiting at the three point line, and we all know what happened next. In Game 5, the ball was out of bounds off Webber but they gave it to the Kings and Bibby hit the game winner after CWebb freed him up with an illegal screen, then Kobe was fouled on his game winning attempt. In Game 6, Lakers were indeed getting all the calls in the 4th, it was a complete joke. But in Game 7, the Kings choked plain and simple. I recall Christie and Peja airballing open shots, and the Kings as a team missing like half their free throws. Only Bibby showed up for that game. Even if Game 6 was set up, it does not mean they wanted the Lakers to win the series, they just wanted it to go to seven games. If Lakers had won Game 5 maybe it would be the other way around in Game 6 (though I seriously doubt that). In the end, Kings had the Lakers where they wanted them but they just choked. The way things turned out the Kings have no one to blame but themselves. Pretty sure 99% of the people who say the series was rigged for the Lakers to win have never watched the whole series and they're just repeating what they heard.

[@hartsickdisciple]

This has nothing to do with who is complaining. Tim Donaghy officiated the game, and said that it was called heavily in the Lakers' favor. I'm not a fan of either team, but it was blatantly obvious watching it back in 02. The game WAS rigged. It's not a matter of opinion.

Basically, if I had the ball and cleared through like they teach you. If they were up in your face and have a hold of you, they will get hit by you clearing through, It wasn't kobe swinging the elbow just him trying to get through a guy holding him. If, someone taller is guarding kobe there the forearm hits them thru the chest and it just looks like regular contact when people are fighting for position. Just because they are contact does not mean they are a foul. Incidental contact is allowed.

Shaq was so unstoppable back then.

[@RickyMoss]

people need to quit bitchin about fouls the Kings were fouling the Lakers every time they touch the ball there were more fouls than were actually called and the Lakers CLEARLY had the best team in the NBA during that time period

[@TheMrKobeBryant2012]

Seven all stars spread out over four teams was a big deal back then. Lol

[@PresidentGuevara]

Shaq was a hulk down in the post, never realized it as a child watching him play #Lakernation

[@sergiogarcia5593]

The Lakers never lost another game in the playoffs after this one. Kobe Bryant averaged 28.0 ppg, 7.3 rpg, 5.5 apg, on 48/57/84 from Game 6 vs Kings until the end of the title run.

[@1buzzerbeater]

Amazing how Shaq steps over the line on 90% of his freethrows and never gets called for it...

[@Ted_Bell]

Towel off Buzz.

You've clearly never shot a freethrow and yes as you said it's a violation smh, some people

oldmansouthside did the refs stop them every time ? Did the refs make them miss they free throws in game 7? Oh ok

will there ever be such a great duo again?

[@alanlee67]

It's nice to actually watch a real competitive playoff game like it was back in the day. No teams just laying down and taking it in the ass or melting down and giving it away to lesser teams like they do today.

[@thalalakeshow5570]

I dont see nothing rigged about this game. All i see is there is a huge black dude who's number is 34 that was unstoppable and wayyy more physical. Accept greatness and accept one of the greatest teams in nba history.

Wow. Look at the nonsense in this game. Bottom line though. Two great performances from Shaq and Kobe and the Kings still kept it close. Damn shame on the officiating though.

I think it's pointless to complain about fixed nba games when the same fools are watching the same fixed nba playoff games today..Stop watching it then or shut up and enjoy the show!

Vigilant Paradigm I mean, one of the refs confirmed it to be rigged

@@kevbeenballin9 fhat dont mwan shit did the refs make the shots for the lakers no bitch

[@TheMrMurcielago]

Nobody's hating on anybody's career, not sure where you picked that up. Lakers fans are in denial that this series was fixed. The evidence was all there. Mike Bibby getting elbowed in the face right in front of a ref without a call, the Lakers taking 27 free throws in the 4th quarter ALONE in game 6. If that doesn't sound rigged to you, what more do you need? Of course David Stern said the league isn't fixed, who would admit to fixing a sport to make more money off of it?

[@sdawg4834]

Man oh man I miss these Lakers!! Shaq was amazing to watch! There was just nothing you could do against him

Rigged? Go to 9:19. That's why the Queens lost. Too soft and passive. Lakers wanted it more.

I did think this series was rigged but stepping a few inches over the free throw line isn't giving a gigantic advantage

[@SrustinLim]

That non-call on Kobe at the end of the game was BRUTAL

[@muhamedabdurahman6341]

I agree Kobe elbowed Bibby maybe unintentionaly but still elbowed him but Bibby was holding Kobes waist before that which is also illegal

Bibby < Linsanity

[@bigman52100]

Well we know for a FACT the kings would've dusted the lakers if lakers werent whining to the referees for help

[@AClarionCallMinistry]

At this time, with the mental and physical conditioning Kobe and Shaq had, no one could have beaten them. They were focused and hungry. But I remember this series, Sacramento gave them all they could handle. Watch the score as you watch the highlights, you'll see that Sacramento was in this series, don't let the highlights fool you.
