Ring Master David Stern

Gorilla: You've heard about the NBA's corrupt officials.  You've probably seen horrible calls made that appear to favor one team.  I believe this corruption goes all the way to the top with NBA commissioner David Stern.  Last year his dream came true of having the Lakers play the Celtics in the finals.  Both seemed to have been great teams.  And this year both the Lakers and the Celtics sit atop their respective conferences.  Perhaps this is because they are the best teams in the NBA.  However, I feel that this is a product of David Stern molding the NBA into the ultimate money-making extravaganza.  One piece of evidence of the NBA's corruption took place last night in the Dunk Contest. 
There is no doubt in my mind that before the event started the final matchup was already determined.  There is no way that Nate Robinson should have even advanced to the final round.  Sure he is short and he can jump really high, but isn't it more impressive to see a white guy (Rudy Fernandez) dunking.  Fernandez's dunks in the first round were some of the best in the whole competition yet he recieved the lowest scores.  Two of Nate Robinson's dunks were aided by using another person to propell himself upward.  He jumped off of someone's back which is something that people do when they are not tall enough to dunk.  The whole competition was planned out with the whole Superman theme.
This may not seem like much, but I feel that the whole league is being planned out.  The greatest story that could be created at this time is for the Lakers and Celtics to renew their rivalry of old.  I am a Cavs fan and this year we have a fierce team.  However, it is hard to stay optimistic with the shenanigans of the NBA.  I do feel though that LeBron James will win a few championships.....

...with the New York Knicks.  Which is what David Stern would love to see.

  1. I posted this blog before the end of the all-star game and it turns out Shaq and Kobe earned co-MVP honors. That only helps my case.
