Rasheed Wallace has been involved in a lot of NBA fixings but the biggest fix in life I've ever seen with Sacramento and LA

[mikeshamhart]

The Bigger Fix before that was the Kings vs LA 2002 😮

[paulthompson]

That spurs era is what the NBAs basketball without borders was all about and every other commercial they pushed on TV. It's very hard to look back at sports through a straight lens these days

[eappleby]

Naw Rasheed Wallace shouldn't have doubled Manu and Robert Horry wouldn't have hit that shot in game 5 or 6

[iaintmissin]

That boy Manu beat y’all stop the nonsense

Prime Manu was a beast

[orlandotocano]

Damn, Sheed's right I remember that narrative, so this means that Kings/Lakers fix a couple of seasons earlier was true too, I always thought Hakeem's dream shake was a walk and Shaq's "power" moves were offensive fouls, Stern was there all along

[texrex]

Right, it couldn’t have been Tim cooking the DPOY and you. Nah, 😂. Go Spurs Go!!!

[brandonriddlesprigger]

I was, unfortunately, indisposed by the state during these finals(And many others smh...)I won a lil bit on that series against the Lakers and we almost got into a riot with the down south Crip homies behind that series 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂...But that other series against San Antonio...That was one of the greatest series of all time....

[acnicodemus]

Coming from a guy who left Robert Horry wide open and doubled Manu Ginobili instead.

[MouseInDaHizzouse]

I'll never forget when it happened with Dunleavy Sr., game 7, Blazers vs Lakers in 2020. That 1 really hit hard cause Sheed and Smith were red hot and deserved way better!!!

The NBA (or pretty much any professional sports league) is an entertainment business. “Entertainment” and “business” are not always “fair”. One of THE worst feelings for a competitor (and even a fan) is to watch it all unfold at the mercy of a whistle.

[mikehowza]

He's speaking truth. They smashed the Spurs in Game 6 and were in complete control in Game 7. Then all of a sudden whistles started going crazy. They fouled out everyone. I think the only starters on the floor at the end were like Roscoe and Chauncey. They gave Duncan MVP and he was 7 of 30 in Game 7. Pistons got hosed in a major way.

[JohnSnowjrjr]

They had Rip, Billips & Sheed 2 fouls a piece 1st quarter 💯 they had to sit most of the first half

[maurygoldblat]

When you can't accept that you lost to the better team

[petemccarry]

The fix was always in with David Stern.

[terrellgaither]

U wasn’t supposed to beat team hof but u right the fix was in both series congrats 🍾 champ

[InterLangCenter]

I want Rasheed to talk about the SAbonis incident.

[The-Reckoning]

I agree, many situations like this over the years. Where is David Stern Now 🤔

[JAYP.]

I literally just had this conversation the other day about the Pistons beating the Lakers wasn't supposed to happen and that since it did, that team was dismantled.

[KevinColeman]

The young men in the chat who are saying Sheed is a hater &/ salty, are too young to comment. You had to live through it
