The 2002 Western Conference Finals were rigged
[The 2002 Western Conference Finals] was rigged. Mr. Official's name Tim Donaghy. We definitely have money on it. Yeah, so that's a fact. Yes. Yes. So from that standpoint, yes, but from the Kings missing 20-something free throws in Game 7... we all know what else to tell you.
While the 2002 WCF (specifically Game 6) is widely criticized and Donaghy later claimed it was fixed, Donaghy did not officiate that series, and no official rigging has ever been legally proven.
