NBA DRAMA

So this has got to be the best NBA commercial in a long time. One that features the current greats. Well, most of them, except for Mr. Flash himself, DWYANE WADE!!!!!!!!! You know I still love that man.

So in recent news, the NBA refs are back in trouble again. The ref who will be sentenced next month for betting on games he reffed and accepting payoffs, Tim Donaghy, said he wasn't the only one. And David Stern, NBA commissioner, steps up and says, The accusations that we manipulate games, the facts underlying those, they are false. We don't, .... And on behalf of my officials I would like to tell you they don't engage in the criminal conduct of which Mr. Donaghy has accused them." According to _____________ Mr. Donaghy said other refs influenced the outcomes of the Finals for 2002 and 2005. He went on to say that some refs have more than business relationships with coaches, players, and even club execs.

Honestly, I don't doubt that refs may change some games. But do I think the Detroit Pistons 2005 Championship win was fixed? Heck no. Wrestling is fake. Basketball is not. And if it were that big of a deal, why hasn't anything been said until now? How long has the National Basketball Association been in existence? For real.

So now, the NBA has to cover their behinds and watch the games after they are played to say, yeah, there should have been a call here or, that should have been a tech. Come on now. That's when it should be considered fake. Either way it goes, one team is not going to be happy. The players are still getting paid an EXCESS of money and yeah, they are still the number one ranked viewing show with a rating of 13.5 for Game 3 and 13.8 for Game 4.

Stern in a recent press conference said, I find it less than fair that our officials have to defend themselves against allegations by one of their fallen brethern. I totally agree.
