NBA : Conspiracy Theories (Some Have Facts,Some Ridiculous)

I'm not here to argue , I'm just here to post my opinions and watch your reactions .
It depends on you whether you believe it or not .

I can't prove conspiracy theories such as the Illuminati, New World Order, Federal Reserve Act of 1913, the Stock Market Crash of 1929, the removal

of the Gold Standard, the New Deal, The Communist takeover in 1932, Pearl Harbor, Roswell 1947, JFK assassination, Gulf of Tonkin, Watergate,

Vince Foster suicide, death of Ron Brown, TWA flight 800, 9/11, 2012 end of the internet, however I can prove one conspiracy and that deals with

GAME 6 2002, of the Western Conference Finals.The officials were Dick Bavetta, Bob Delaney, and Ted Bernhardt. Tim Donaghy told the FBI (who

later found him telling the truth) that 2 refs were going to fix game 6 for the Lakers in the best interest for the NBA. David Stern is in total denial,

where according to Ralph Nader, a fix might have occurred without Stern participating in it, or even knowing it, as a king of Henry II v. Thomas

Beckett 'Will no one rid me of this troublesome priest?' scenario.'Let's say these guys were company refs and they wanted to get David
Stern more money,' Nader told the Los Angeles Times. 'If that's in their mind, David Stern doesn't even have to wink at them. They know how to
do it. These claims have aroused that critical opinion, and the NBA should be concerned by that. If people say they don't trust this game anymore,

that could be the beginning of the end.This video will give a little history to the Kings vs Lakers rivalry.

Well then, maybe you should set up a blog. This is a discussion board; people are going to discuss and argue things.

But I like I said, if you want to believe in the conspiracies that's fine. Just don't expect everyone to share that opinion when there's no definitive proof either way. And if nothing else, I think we can all agree that the NBA makes decisions that utterly perplex us.

Hey, sounds like Phil Jackson agrees with you about the officiating of the referees.

this has got to be the dumbest fucking post ever (i say that alot, it seems you idiots keep out doing each other). just gonna point out 1 major flaw in all this stupid shit, if the nba really was all fixed, why are all the good teams out west? if it was fixed all the biggest and best stars would be on the east coast where they could pull much higher ratings.

But hey, if it is fixed and they want the celtics to win more often i guess i am good with it, i just wonder why they waited so damn long to hand the celtics another ring. also its a good thing they made detroit pick darko, god knows how good they might be right now if the nba didnt make them fuck that up

Everything said in this thread by anyone is true.

And if you disagree, you're probably part of the conspiracy.

Guess this thread gon' be dead 'coz classes starts in Monday and I'll be enrolling tomorrow . . .

YEHEY!

You took that quote all the way from his thread in the 08 section?

NBA: Conspiracy Theories (Some Have Facts, Some Ridiculous)

I have never subscribed to conspiracy theories.

Whatever it is—Tower Seven, Castro, the mob and JFK, the girl in the polka dot dress, Skull and Bones, The Freemasons, the Trilateral Commission,

the Illuminati in general—I've always found Occam's razor to be imminently useful.

Watching the NBA conference finals, however, I haven't been able to shake one conspiracy theory: If it starts to look like a Magic-Nuggets Finals

matchup is looming, won't David Stern just "make sure that doesn't happen?"

Granted, I'm still not sure what exactly I'm accusing the NBA of.

And, moreover, the logistics and secrecy that would be necessary to carry a conspiracy to completion would be impossible to manage (remember

Occam's razor).

"Three can keep a secret," Ben Franklin said, "if two of them are dead."

Intellectually, I know this to be true. But I'm still suspicious. The memory of Lakers-Kings Game Six is still fresh, after all.

In my mind, a direct order to tip the scales would never be given—no meetings, no paper trail, no secret recordings—just an air of apprehension and

disappointment emanating from the league's office.

Stories are leaked that hint at the league's disappointment, though these "sources" never state that sentiment directly. This, in turn, causes David

Stern to have to "address" these rumors.

"The NBA has never been stronger; this league isn't built on just one or two stars or one or two teams. There're young stars building names for

themselves all over the league," Stern would probably say matter-of-factly, "no matter who plays, the NBA Finals is one of the great showcases in

sports and whoever plays will put on a great show, a great athletic and competitive event for sports fans."

None of which would totally convince me.

Undoubtedly, Dwight Howard and Carmelo Anthony are stars but no one believes they're as huge, nationally and internationally, as LeBron and Kobe.

Everyone knows the NBA wants one matchup and one matchup only.

The most important part of the conspiracy, though, is that no one ever gives the referees an order.

They're allowed to twist in the wind with every sports page and radio show in America (outside of Florida and Colorado) lamenting the possibility of a

Magic-Nuggets Finals.

Each time they turn on their televisions, The Swoosh bombards them with LeBron and Kobe puppets, which are followed by Vitamin Water

commercials featuring 23 and 24.

Moreover, everyone at the Worldwide Leader is howling at the idea that after an entire season they're going to have to bellow hackneyed

catchphrases for the thousandth time while doing Nuggets-Magic highlights (ahem, Stuart Scott).

Subconsciously, the zebras get the message.

With the weight of the basketball universe on their shoulders, run of the mill "star calls" become slight favoritism.

The free throw disparity doesn't change, however.

But crucial free throws late in games, at the very time the refs usually "swallow their whistles," are awarded to 23 and 24 (though one wonders

whether this is a definite advantage for LeBron).

And before you know it, the stars have aligned, lightning strikes twice, and the Lakers and Cavs are set for a best out of seven for the Larry O'Brien

trophy.

All this says a lot about David Stern, I know. And Stern is no Richard Williams.

And, quite frankly, I've always thought David Stern was completely overrated as a commissioner. Think about it: How difficult of a job was it to sell

the NBA during the Magic-Bird 80s, the Jordan 90s, and to market the Dream Team. They all sold themselves practically. Only a total incompetent

could've screwed that situation up.

But none of this matters to the conspiracy theorist.

In the conspiracy theorist's mind, Stern becomes the guileful leader of a national basketball plot.

His machinations and accomplices are hidden in plain sight for the few who are willing to see them. Even his missteps are carefully orchestrated

ruses. And the rest of you, because of your willful ignorance, are complicit in the act.

But the best part of being a conspiracy theorist, I've found, is no matter what happens there's always another secret plot and every stone that's

been turned over to reveal nothing simply means the answer must be under another stone.

A Lakers-Magic or Nuggets-Cavs Finals proves that the NBA was, at the very least, half successful.

Why only half successful?

Well, mirabile dictu, another theory will quickly emerge.

And a Nuggets-Magic Finals?

A carefully orchestrated misstep to throw us off the trail, perhaps...

You're now just covering all your bases by saying pretty much no matter what happens the NBA willed it that way...not how it works bro. Pick a side and stay on it...or could you just be wrong and there is no conspiracy?

1 more for good measure

All of these came from bleacherreport.com , I'm just posting it here and 'coz I want to see what are your feedbacks and reactions . . .

Finals conspiracy theories prove to be as durable as tinfoil

My opinion is there are some blind refs out there, especially the female ones & the ones with the mustaches (guys that is)

The amount of incorrect calls on what appear to be very straight forward calls when ball goes out of bounds has been ridiculous....it's like the refs just assume who the ball has come off rather than looking right in front of themselves & paying attention....

The amount of reversed inbound calls, especially in Magic-Cavs games I've seen, is crazy....

But this is not a conspiracy theory, this is just somebody hoping for not 5-6 wrong initial calls on out of bounds plays....

My opinion is there are some blind refs out there, especially the female ones & the ones with the mustaches (guys that is)

That reminds me, I haven't seen Violet Palmer call any games in a while.
