Question for those of us that believe sports are rigged....

[Mask]

Was thinking about the storyline about Lebron and Cavs him leaving for Miami, owner bashing him, city crumbled somewhat, Cleveland been in the ruts sporting wise for minute etc etc etc...


If there ever was a time to rig some shit, isn't this it?
I don't believe shit is rigged as much as we think, but I maybe be wrong...
An Kobe vs Lebron finals would've been epic from a NBA marketing standpoint, that's the one matchup they could've guided but didn't...


Now you have a even bigger story, with the return, the injuries and going up against this machine in golden state.

What's your take on, if there ever was a time to rig something isn't this it...remember NBA PR wise.


Granted the Cavs are doing they're part to win it without the help, while GSW ain't letting down either...

Old cat I play tennis with swears games are rigged. But how do you get 53 men in football and 12 men in basketball to agree to not try to win?

Knowing winning brings you more money?

I've known sports were rigged ever since the Western Conference Finals in 2003 Lakers vs. Kings. Tim Donaghy says refs sway NBA games on the regular. I believe him.http://www.realclearsports.com/arti...fix_its_playoff_games_97937.html#.VXkfC3XD9J8

You just need key players and a few refs to effect a game. (Wade *cough)



But I truly believe nothing I see on my TV is real. Not sports not nothing.

Everyone doesn't have to participate to throw away a game or shave points. Its a fact that professional athletes, college players and crooked referees have thrown games in the past.

The crooked NBA ref scandal basically proved the NBA was some WWE type shit. He talked of the 2006 finals(as Walton said, parade to the free throw line) and the Lakers/Kings shit. Both of which were obvious.

That said, the Cavs have not received any favoritism as of yet, so if the NBA pulls it off, it will look balanced. They almost blew the end of game two and were going to give GS the ball at the end of game 3.
