No way. The Kings were absolutely robbed in game 6. One of the worst travesties in the history of the NBA. No debate on that. Lakers had 27 free throws......IN THE 4TH QUARTER.
Ya, because they kept fouling! I'm sorry, but this narrative that the "fix" was in the for the Lakers has NO legs. Why? Why would the league NOT want an exciting, fresh, new team like the Kings have a fair shake at winning it all?
Again, Sacramento has NOBODY to blame but themselves for losing that series. They had chance after chance, and were given game 7 at home, which they BLEW.
So please, stop buying into nonsense that has no factual basis behind it other then opposing fan conjecture. This argument that teams were "robbed" can be made any season in any playoff game against any team.
Was MJ really befriending players so that they would take it "easy on him"!? League pushing Jordan? Oh noes! MJ robbed Barkley, Ewing, and so many others of so many titles! That notion is ridiculous.
