What's the IC's opinion of this team? For a while I know cats seen them as under achievers or simply a team that wasn't good enough to get it done. But after 5 years since the Tim Donaghy story broke whats the feelings of this team and does that change your opinion on the '02 Lakers?

    That still annoys me, even though I'm not a Kings fan. And the NBA hasn't really been held accountable for that too, which is even more annoying. That whole situation was pathetic, that Kings team was fun to watch and would have massacred my Nets in the finals had they advanced like they should.

    Portland and Sacramento = OKC Thunder

    I am not a huge OKC fan but outside of San Antonio they have the best chance of a small market team to win it.

    Wack. Not saying refs don't have a hidden agenda, but that ? looked no different than the games that are called today, and the worst officiating games in history is definitely Wade beating the Mavs.

    Wade was getting Jordan calls times 10. Dude's shot attempts were like half his free throw attempts.

    Those squads had some ok, good and nice players but if one man destroys them all how good were they really? Michael Jordan with Scottie ( the original "Batman and Robin") killed those teams with all of that talent... Mike was the man... Lol the Knicks could barely beat the Pacers and Clyde was shown the door during the 91 Finals lol... Mike put Clyde at the Vince Carter and Tmac table before there was a table....... You ? lol... SMH.. How soon we forget...........

    ? like this is ammunition for the script theory.... Im telling u that ? be fake alot of times.... Portland got that same treatment.... Spurs did too the year Fisher hit that buzzer beater.. they were knocking Tony Parker around.... Dallas in 06.... Kobe busted Bibby nose with a elbow and the foul was called on him lol.. During that era point guards were torching LA'pg and tehy would put the "Kobe defensive stopper" on them and was allowed to hold bump and grab them. The Horry game winner vs Sac was scripted to me... cuz Sac stole the ball and had a dunk and the refs waited until they saw he had a break away to call the foul.... I knew he would miss the free throws.

    ? they played during the jordan era....jordan and pip would have done the same thing to those kings....yall forgetting that the kings were talented but soft as hell them ? stayed floppin....NY knicks would have put them on there ass several times. and u say they could barely beat the pacers the pacers were tough ? ....

    early 90s NY knicks and pacers >>> 02 kings

    Dude, they were a great team, but dont get crazy.



    People need to quit overrating this team. They won 61 games by a margin of 7.6 PPG. There's alteast one, if not two teams that do that almost every year. The Bulls won 62 games last year by a margin of 7.3 PPG and no one's gonna call them one of the greats to never win a championship.
