Was the 2002 Western Conference Finals rigged?
In this YouTube Short, we dive into one of the most controversial games in NBA history — Game 6 of the 2002 Kings vs Lakers series. With 27 free throws awarded to the Lakers in the 4th quarter alone, countless missed calls, and strange foul decisions, fans have long speculated that this game wasn’t just bad officiating — it was something much bigger.
Years later, former NBA referee Tim Donaghy claimed the game was manipulated to ensure a Game 7, pointing the finger at NBA executives who allegedly wanted the league’s most marketable team, the Lakers, to stay alive. The Sacramento Kings, led by Chris Webber and Mike Bibby, were on the verge of dethroning the Lakers’ dynasty — until the whistleblowing began.
Despite Donaghy’s claims and the outcry from fans, the NBA has never officially admitted any wrongdoing. But the question still lingers:
