Take the title off LAL
Asterix the Championship
Keep it as it is

This championship deserves an asterix or to be taken off the lakers all together. The Trophy, the rings and for the history books.
An absolute travesty. Word's cannot explain. With a ref admitting the games were fixed and the blatant calls against the kings and blatant no calls for the Lakers..
Something needs to be done about that. Worst fixed series ever. Admitted to be a fixed series no less.
Why can't the NBA do something about it? Like an Asterix or take the le off the Lakers permanantly? Kings shoulda won that in 6.
Feel so sorry for the Kings players fans and entire organisation.
Jesus ing Christ
1. What the is an asterix?
2. Please just reference this thread:

That is all.
I guess GNSF heard all Spur les were asterisked and made this thread in retaliation.
Bad gray name, bad
tbh, worse than just the calls against the Kings were the non-calls against the Lakers...lol @ 2:18 - 2:25 in that video...
You can disregard 2002 if you disregard 2007
I want to punch this poster if I can. Next on my list would be Rummpd.
How do you figure that?
The worst officiated game in sports history, tbh..
Even National media members, including biased Laker reporters, questioned the officiating..
It is what it is, though, it still counts for a Lakers le..
Oooh Laker fans straight onto it. Didn't know how testy you were about this series. Kinda obvious you all think it was fixed to seeing how fast you come out to talk about my post and go into defense mode. Shame.
The Kings...
a. Choked Game 1 at home
b. Choked a 20 point lead in Game 4, throwing out a potential 3-1 lead because of their inability to grab the ball with two ing hands
c. Put on one of the most infamous choke jobs in playoff lore during Game 7
And you're telling us that Game 6 swung the entire series in favor of LA?
Oh and let's all forget that the Kings were also given a sizable free-throw advantage in Game 5.
You ing idiots who only base their opinions on Youtube mixtapes.
and also,Parker for MVP
Despite all that choking, if they didn't get jobbed in game 6, they advance to the Finals...The Kings...

You have to understand that that game was the most obvious, blatant "gifted" game in NBA history...it's not like it'll ever be erased from the record books (and it shouldn't, unless that happened in the Finals, tbh), but you shouldn't pretend it never happened...just be happy it did
Tbh, we always hear that the series was rigged in Lakers favor. It WAS rigged, but not in favor of the Kings or Lakers. Stern wanted a 7 game series between two of the strongest teams in the west because New Jersey was going to get butt ed and everybody knew it. It was just a business move to give people an intense WCF to make up for one of the weakest Finals in a long time.
If there were no calls, Kings probably would lose because they were full of chokers. It would probably have gone to 5 to boot. Still, that series was rigged for sure.
Game 7 was even, Kings could have won
If refs weren't helping Kings in game 4 then Lakers would be the one looking to finish it up in 6.
Big difference there, and I'll explain why.
There is a rule that is not left to interpretation (crossing the line onto the court during an altercation), and a rule that is left to interpretation (fouls).
The Suns players crossed the line (literally) during an altercation, and were given the appropriate punishment. As we've seen very recently, Amare is not the best at keeping his cool (lol fire extinguisher), so his temper cost his team a chance at the championship.
There is a big difference between that and the referees blatantly choosing to interpret fouls in one team's favor. Like I said, recognize it and be grateful, it helped you advance. There's no asterisk only cause that didn't happen in the Finals, and you still had to win vs. the (lol)East team
I am not denying that it didn't happen. I just wish that uniformed s would start doing research so that they would realize that Sacramento had more to do in their loss as compared to one game that was rigged for LA.
They lost three ing games because just because they couldn't close out.
Let's also not deny that the Kings were handed a 13, 20 and 10 free-throw attempt advantage in Games 2, 4 and 5 respectively.
It's not that there is a difference, it's that both are completely in hindsight. Unlike the 99* which is just an asterisk by virtue of being a shortened season.
Damn, were some teams not allowed to participate in the playoffs that year or something? Tbh I was too young to watch the NBA back then, so you'll have to fill me in on that one. Were the Spurs the only team to play 50 games or were all teams playing the same amount of games, no teams were banned from competing for the playoffs, each team had the same amount of preparation time, etc...? Because that would mean that the Spurs did the unprecedented and were the only team that was able to adjust in order to win the ring in an abnormal year, tbh.
Shortened season, it's an abnormally which makes it an asterisk.
Spurfan hates the idea of an asterisk because it is a strike against their franchise they believe, but it basically says the le was won under abnormal conditions and not a knock against the team or their franchise.
