Lakers by far more than anyone else. They’ve shot 420 more FT’s than their opponents this year. The next closest is the bucks with 250. They’re also DEAD LAST in the nba in drives to the paint. They also have the lowest FT’s shot against them in the entire league. It’s beyond obvious at this point

You know the Hornets had a similar disparity through the 17-18 seasons? Was the NBA rigging it in their favour? This video is uneducated and this disparity isn’t as much of an outlier as claimed. Lots of laker players are averaging close to career low averages FTAs. I don’t see how you can claim the league is rigged yet Curry and GSW are the least favoured. Why would the NBA want to destroy golden state? Make it make sense please.

As an unbiased Lakers fan, I have seen us get a lot of calls that shouldn't have been called. It seems to have increased w/ Lebron joining the team. The refs are quick to have the Lakers opponents get ticky tack foul calls against them which puts the Lakers in the bonus early. If the Lakers are trailing in the 4th, watch how a slight touch can suddenly merit a foul call and see how early they end up in the bonus. It helps us comeback and get wins, but I know we're getting some fortunate/bogus whistles.

Nba don't want curry to get his 5th because that would be bad for the LeBron goat debate. So as much as I love the dubs, I can't watch them thanks to the rigging going on. Rasheed Wallace talked in depth about it on girls arena, and immediately my eyes were open. When you talk rigging, there Is no 100% foolproof way to have your team win, but you can heavily influence the odds, and in the world of money, influencing the odds can have crazy effects. Allowing one team to hack and slash while calling ticky tac fouls on the other end can have extreme effects not only on point differential but on morale. Basketball is a mental sport. There is billions of dollars from sponsors, going into the NBA machine. It's called sports entertainment for a reason. Also, rumors that LeBron was involved in the Miami PED scandal years back. Since it's considered entertainment Im sure they allow athletes to use these drugs, esp guys like LeBron. His managers in 2013 was involved in the ped scandal. The saddest part is, the NBA does think the fan base is stupid. Most people are comfortable with being comfortable. Or they say things like it's not that big of a deal, get over it. This is a multi billion dollar industry that influences not only the culture, but also political thought. Its more serious than just rigging a stupid game. It's the idea that there are powerplayers behind the scenes who influence thoughts and actions on multiple levels, silencing or making people to be conspiracy theorists.

It’s about time someone with a significant following on KZbin pointed out the obvious corruption in the NBA. It’s absolutely ridiculous the lengths the league will go to attempt to rig outcomes. Everyone should be calling this out. Not just former athletes and those who actually respect the sanctity of competition. Even Lakers fans themselves. If my home team was winning games I knew for a fact they didn’t deserve to win I would feel cheated by the sport. The worst part of the above is that most professional sports have been trying to replicate the NBA’s corruption and inching toward a heavy hand on rigging outcomes. The NFL is well on their way to following their role models. Here are a few more ridiculous Lakers stats for you: 1, Since the All-Star game free throw rate has gone significantly for every team, but the Lakers have remained stable. 2. The Lakers have shot more free throws than their opponents in 19 out of the last 20 games. The only game they didn’t, their opponent had 4 more free throws. 3. Two games ago the Lakers played the Timberwolves who were healthy besides KAT. The Lakers were without Lebron for the entire game, and AD for 3 and a half quarters. Despite this they shot 31 free throws to Minnesota’s 11. I could go on. It’s crazy that a deep dive into the Lakers free throw discrepancy isn’t even needed because even the surface level stats are outrageous. Finally the league outright robbed the Pelicans of a top 8 pick and a chance at Wemblayana or Scoot last year. The league robbed the Pelicans of a top 10 pick this year. They will likely rob the Pelicans of a very early draft pick next year. Any GM who accepted a trade offer for a Lakers first round draft pick would have to be an imbecile. The league will do whatever it takes to make sure it is as worthless as they can make it. There is no chance that Utah cashes in on a top 10 selection from their trade last year. If the Lakers are that bad, then the officials will make sure they lose enough to get into the top 4 so they can keep the pick. Daryl Morey was supposed to be one of the smartest GM’s and he got outright robbed by the Lakers. In fact there is no question in my mind that the league was behind the scenes making sure no one but the Lakers would get the package of players Utah was offering. This outright NBA rigging of games should be being talked about every day by every one. The problem will only get worse and we can think the lying mainstream media for that.

[@michaelsilberg9059]

Keeping it "close" is one of the most important jobs the officials do for the NBA. If you watch closely in a lot of games they call fouls on one team or the other to keep a specific point differential. When the team officials are keeping ahead (but close) sucks, they need a lot more free throws to stay 5 points ahead for example. Every once in a while the crap team goes on a mini run, pulling "too far" ahead and then the other team gets a call.

The NBA has to show growth YOY and meet profit margins.

How do you optimize revenue streams from games? If you left it up to simple competition and franchise willingness to compete, you'd be in a very risky situation.
