Was game 6 of the 2002 NBA finals rigged?

Absolutely! It was obvious at the time when I watched it. The Kings were robbed and likely would have gone on to win the finals.

Van, You neglected to mention that the referee in question, Tim Donaghy, has admitted betting on and fixing games personally. Last year he plead guilty to two felonies in federal court. While a number of people have been convinced for some time that something fishy went on during that game (FYI, he alleged malfeasance in the 2002 Western Conference Championship, not the NBA Finals), it is almost public knowledge. It isn’t a stretch to assume that a man whose credibility is completely gone would resort to dredging up old conspiracies in order to reduce his jail time. I’m not saying that the game wasn’t questionable, just that the allegations from the aforementioned referee should be taken with a grain of salt.

Typical Lakers fan rhetoric.

Funny. What makes you think I“m a Lakers fan? Don’t go around making assumptions.
