Grantland
LOONNNG piece. But a really, really interesting read. Well worth the time. Interesting to read the quotes from the players, coaches, media, and refs during, and after, their playoff series.

one of the greatest playoff series of all time

This series still ticks me off. That Game 6 tainted the entire series in my opinion. Some great games and battles, but impossible to look past a fixed Game 6.
Looking forward to the read.

Read that earlier. Easy to forget that Kings team was one of the best ever.

He's in my top 3 writers on Grantland. Love all of his articles. More excited for the book he is writing too

meh, its not like the kings didn't have so many other chances to win the series

People also seem to forget how bad that laker team was outside of Kobe and Shaq. The greatness of those two literally carried that team to a title

I wanted to like the piece, but man... way too long. Needed an editor. I lost interest about halfway through and just skipped to the Game 6 stuff.
Fantastic series, though.

Pollard: When it’s a last-second shot, get it away from the rim. Don’t let them win on a tip. Vlade was up there tipping against Shaq of all people. Yeah, you get the ball the hell away from Shaquille O’Neal in that situation or you’re going to get a dunk and foul most likely, so get it out of there.

And he still didn't do that. Shaq got the initial rebound and blew a lay up

And furthermore, the article touches on this, for whatever reason people dont like to talk about the bullshite from game 5. The kings got a bunch of calls in that series

That was a great read. Loved thay kings team. They made it look so fun

I loved those Kings teams so much. Man, I loved me some Chris Webber.

I remember the backlash from game 6 and thinking, who the hell cares? The Kings were getting all the calls before that game. Game 6 was bad, but the Lakers had 5 games worth of make ups.

i mean call before bibbys shot in game 5, where webber clearly knocks the ball out of bounds and they called it out on horry, was just as horrendous as vlades sixth foul in game 6

I didn't care for CWebb so much, but yeah, those Kings teams were so damn good
