I know the prime Warriors could beat this Kings team but I promise you this Kings team could beat any of the Warrior teams also….Bibby put up the same production as Curry in the playoffs and they were more balanced 1-5 with great size, shooting, length and craftiness. This team is severely underrated in NBA history, they were very good at every position, the problem was they went up against 2 of the top 5 players to ever play the game who were surrounded by 3 vastly underrated guys in Horry, Fisher, and Fox….who played their roles the best in the league….they were feisty defenders/dead eye shooters/clutch and just winners….they have a combined 15 rings between those 3. That’s though to beat. I think this is the best team in NBA History actually.

U clearly are too young to have a clue what happened… Shaq was a god damn monster in the series being doubled n triple teamed n still put up by far the best numbers. And the kings are my favorites team. But no one could deal with Shaq. They had to double n triple n that left Kobe always in single coverage or wide open.

[@amanchabra8947]

I was at this game. Section 219, Row 4 (upper deck in the corner, diagonal from the Kings' bench). Nobody sat down for 48 minutes (or at least it seemed like it). Every possession felt like life and death. When Bibby hit that jumper that turned out to be the game winner, the explosion of sound was like nothing I have ever heard. I literally thought the walls of Arco were going to crumble like Jericho. You couldn't hear yourself think! When Kobe's last shot left his hand, from our seats, it looked good off the hand. My heart was ready to sink the way it did after Horry's game-winner in Game 4. When it rimmed off, the explosion of sound returned and the euphoria was like nothing I have ever felt at a sporting event. The only thing that even came close was Kevin Martin's game-winner against the Spurs in the playoffs a few years later. It felt like we had won the championship. Too bad we still had to win one more game after that. The NBA prevented us from doing so in Game 6, and then we blew it in Game 7 by missing 14 FT's and missing a wide-open 3 pointer in regulation. Still the greatest playoff series ever played in my opinion, though!

[@cjvaye99]

it's a shame the kings have been a joke for so long but I'm glad they finally appeared to have turned it around. they're really good this year. they have a great fan base and I love watching playoff games with fans like this.
