Now that you know the NBA is being rigged

Does this affect how you view the game? Does it affect how many games you plan on attending this year?

Reject the premise. We don’t know that.

It’s not rigged. This simpleton argument gets old. It’s not WWE predetermined outcomes.

The NBA does put its thumb on the scale. So it’s not straight up. These types of basic nuances seem to have exited from modern society.

How do we jump from Billups fronting poker scam that's 100% outside NBA and Terry freakin' Rozier selling insider info on his own (as far as we know) to NBA is rigged as a whole? You better find some good Homo Erectus bones to present to us OP.

I don't see how this topic meaningfully adds anything of value to the subject of the recent gambling scandal. We have other threads discussing it. If someone wanted to write a more nuanced version of this topic, it would be fine, but this is a gross oversimplification of a more interesting problem the NBA is currently facing. I'm locking this because I think it detracts and dumbs down the discussion rather than adding or enhancing.
