Listen Later

In the second episode of NBA Campfire, Sonny Giuliano and Vinney Zambito discuss their re-watch of Game 6 of the 2002 Western Conference Finals, a back-and-forth battle between the Sacramento Kings and Los Angeles Lakers that has been marred by officiating conspiracies.

Sonny and Vinney open the show with a discussion about the whether there's a difference between 'the better team' and 'the right team' winning a playoff series, and figure out if there was a difference between these two teams in 2002.

Throughout the episode, we discuss the exceptionally fun early 00's Kings, the under-appreciated career of Rick Adelman, whether Chris Webber's career is viewed fairly or unfairly, and yes, all of those foul calls that went against Sacramento in the 4th quarter.

Finally, Sonny and Vinney discuss the Shaq-Kobe Lakers dynasty and ponder how successful the duo could've been if both off-court and on-court issues hadn't derailed the team. Grab your marshmallows and take a seat around the campfire! We've got a good one for ya today!
