NBA orchestrated the Luka trade and Dallas knew they were getting Cooper.

Don't you dare spend a dime on this rigged BS.

After the rigged 2016 finals where Dray was suspended and Curry was given 3 fouls in the first half of 4 games, I never looked back. They pushed that series to 7 for ad revenue and LeBron.

DISGUSTING.

Why does everybody suddenly have to become a conspiracy theorist?

It's human nature to make something more out of the simplest explanation when you're bored in life.

Ya sure man, the most shocking NBA trade in the history of the sport, compared only to the trade of Babe Ruth, is quickly followed by the team landing a generational talent with a 1.8% chance.

Not rigged at all lol.

Death, taxes, and a white star in Dallas. (Unless the Mavs use it to get Giannis)

Big facts. The devolving from pro sport to WWE based manipulated entertainment really started in the obviously rigged 2002 WCF. Got worse in 2012 Finals, and became disgustingly obvious with the Draymond suspension and Curry foul trouble in 2016 Finals. Not out right manipulated but severely and heavily influenced. The most pure basketball has sadly been international competition between national teams

2002 WCF was not rigged. I'm convinced the people who say this are just Laker haters. All Kings had to do was make their FTs. Chris Webber, a ~75% FT shooter that year shot 46% in that series. They could've won Game 7 but choked at home. They made 16 out of 30 FTs at home in a Game 7. Peja airballed a wide open corner 3 that would've won them the series. Refs even pushed it to OT for them.


As far as the draft lottery goes it's always had insane outcomes that make no sense given the odds. We've only had the lottery for 40 years and like every other year a team with like 1-4% odds ends up getting the #1 pick. How do the same teams (Hornets & Wizards) keep getting robbed over & over again despite sucking every year?

Also how is it that every time a franchise gets new ownership they end up winning the draft? This happened to the Pelicans with AD and now the Mavs. And Pelicans won the lottery again once they traded AD to the Lakers, same as the Mavs who gave up their mid-20s superstar to LA. Lottery is the easiest thing to rig you can't really influence a live game to the point where you 100% control the outcome.

the rules of the game are flawed. refs are unable to execute the rules fairly for decades. scandals every season but not spoken on by nba spokespersons 99 times out of 100. at least other sports have clear rules.

The NBA has been fixing things since the '80s. Look at how the Knicks got Ewing, or how Orlando ended up getting both Penny and Shaq. They were helping MJ win titles. By 2000, Shaq and Kobe got what was par for the course at that point with the league. It has only continued since.

It's pretty obvious that the NBA favors some players over others.

They favor Shai because he is canadian and Canada is a big market. They don't favor Jokic because he doesn't want to play their stupid media games.
