It is hilarious that you call yourself Galileo and continually commit logical heresy. We are not talking about the War on Drugs (that is called "switching the goalposts"), we are talking about an alleged NBA conspiracy which would have to involve tens to hundreds of people, none of whom have yet whistleblown. Only the guy caught padding his pockets, Donaghy, has become a whistleblower... at the same time as he has a book to promote in an effort to rebuild his shattered finances. Furthermore, the alleged conspiracy would have the big market teams in the Finals every year, even though 5 of the last 10 championships have gone to small market teams.
Apply a few basic tests of logical thinking here - such as Occam's razor - and your house of cards fell over before you even built it. It also doesn't help that you are trying to make your bones by becoming part of this story, which is clearly blinding you to the obvious.
There is no question that the NBA has three referring standards - one for superstars, one for rookies, and one for everyone else. Personally, I hate that and consider it a cultural problem within the league. But that does not mean the NBA is a scripted soap opera like the WWE, or a grand conspiracy by the big market teams.
