Was last nights Laker Boston game decided in advance? Is the NBA just another WWF? Can we have a basket ball league that is not decided in advance where we know who the true champian is?

Stern%u2019s response is suspicious. Ten to one there are league officials, more refs, and players throwing games.

Well Commish, it appears the world does not agree with you. We think pro basketball is corrupt, but then most pro sports has some corruption, too much money to make not to have corruption.

It is just entertainment, it is not true competition. We have to have the biggy stars to sell tickets at those prices, so ***, drugs and rock ''''n roll are all there for the stars.

Big Surprise. Corruption has been legitimized. America lives by it as its new motto. Especially since January 2001.

Basketball has suked for a very looooong
time.

Of course Stern will say it is still
the greatest sport on earth.

He and the rest have basketball fever,
the kind that makes the palms itch
and the only cure is more money.

Fix the game Stern.

Also, thanks Gonzo and
the FBI.

I remember that Lakers-Kings came, and how one sided the officiating was. I''m not really shocked by this accusation at all.

Check out the series with Dallas and Miami where the Dwayne Wade was basically given foul shots whenever anybody breathed on him.

Is the league rigged ? *** right it is !
