The NBA is rigged.

[Godbody]

I'm pretty sure OKC is a much better team than Miami ...But for some reason I feel like Miami will win the finals

Simply because the whole NBA is fixed in LeBron's favor so this shit basically has to play out his way

What you don't know is that there are 30 NBA teams, each comprised of owners. The owners are very rich millionaires/billionaires and they set the ticket prices for the arenas and have more say over other owners with less money.

How the fuck are the bum ass Mavericks gonna beat the Heat for a title?

Last I checked the Heat had an even worse team in '05-'06 and they beat the Mavericks. Yeah they had a young D-Wade but they had an older Shaq.

That shit still doesnt compare to the line up they have now. D-Wade +Bosh, LeBron, Haslem, Battier

The question I ask you is this

What are the chances that the Heat & Mavs meet in '05-'06 finals if there are 30 teams?

What are the chances they meet again a few years later if there are 30 teams? & What are the chances of the Mavs avenging that loss?

Think about it. The Heat was in contention for that title last year. The Mavs came outta nowhere and swept the Lakers

The answer to why the Mavs won their title is this; Mark Cuban's pockets. Motha fucka is a BILLIONAIRE, and he wanted a ring for his franchise, for Dirk Nowitzki, and to fill up more seats in Dallas.

Apply this same reasoning to the Lakers/Celtics rivalry

Lakers & Celtics are the most winning-est teams in the NBA. Their rivalry goes back before the Larry Bird/Magic Johnson shit

Decades later they meet in the finals MORE than once

History repeating itself? Coincidences? It's deeper than that B

shaq was still dominant then, dwade was in top form, udonis haslem was also in top shape (hes nothing more than a role player today) they had caron butler, antwone walker, jason williams, gary payton...pulse youre high

Nah you right..Shaq was puttin up numbers in his time w/ the Heat. But nothing like young Shaq. Shaq was at his worst when the Celtics picked him up

& Maybe the Heat put up more money?

I dont think its a coincidence that LA is supposed to be the richest team in the NBA and they won back to back titles. Not taking anything away from Kobe or that talented ass Laker team.

But these guys are pros. They're paid to make these shots and paid for us to watch them play. You don't think some of these guys can make shots on command? Durant & Ray Allen can probably drain 3's 9/10 times

I've seen Kobe make 30 shots in a row during practice playing around the world

You don't think its possible they're just highly paid pawns orchestrating what they're asked to do in order to generate money, controversy, or some good ass storylines to add to what's already a sport full of rivalries and controversy?

You guys are stupid. Basketball is not rigged... Who the fuck would rig the 76ers to beat the Bulls. Their is no way the 76ers could pay to win the series. You think Rose and Noah were paid to get injured? Fuck out of here...

You watch the old Lakers v. Kings West Champ Series? Tell me the NBA isn't fixed.

the lottery i agree and we have suspect officiating, but I'm not buying the stars are missing on purpose...no way in hell Lebron would agree to go thru the HELL (legit hell) we all put him thru...whether they admit it or not, stats matter...accolades matter to them...missing the last shot is not something Lebron, Kobe, MJ, (insert any star), would be willing to do

theres so much more to talk about (within the sports) than whether or not the sports themselves are fixed

controversy sells i agree, but something would have leaked by now
