Too many biased calls, missed calls, & inconsistent calls. Ever since one of them got busted for betting on games, I believe they are fixing games for Commish Stern so his son Lebron can win a title and the both of them (Stern & Lebron) can cash out…
I found a lot of interesting lines out there to keep (try to make) us interested:
Even: Odds that a player gets robbed for more than ,000 worth of jewelry during the weekend
10-1: Odds that another player commits the robbery
3: Over/under on the number of fans that will be able to name all four contestants in the “Skills Challenge” come Monday.
2-3: Dwight Howard wins the dunk contest
There are also the three point shootout, shooting stars, skill challenge, and the horse competition that we can bet on.
For the game itself, we can bet on who scores the first point (Kobe and Bron have a slight edge), score the most points, MVP (Garnett & Pierce both at 20-1, while Bron is 3-1)
yea, I know – a couple are jokes (kind of)

I read this story this morning but they haven’t named the official. It would be interesting to find out what games he officiated and who won in those games. They are saying he bet on games that he officiated in and might have worked the point spread in his favor in relation to his betting.
The said the investigation started recently and that it was a current NBA official. If anyone has any real info on this as far as who has been named, that would be great.
Don’t get all huffy sabes99, if he was betting on the games – it is also a gambling question.
Perhaps you should have read the story better.
Good Lord

Let’s complete the job of affirmative action. Let’s say a certain minority represents 12% of the population than the NBA can have NO more than 12% of that minority group.
Is that fair?
I’m sure Motown records & BET will love this "fairness".
Let us throw Performance out the window and base everything on race<sarcasm>
