My biggest takeaway from all of this is that David Stern was suuuuper shady. When we can go back and see so many questionable things he did as Commissioner (directly or indirectly) it really stains the history of the league.
-
Bro said “The NBA has existed for what seems like forever now.” Crazy that we forget the Queen of England is OLDER than the whole organization
-
Ray Allen a true prophet. “Kobe will need 2 & half good players to win a championship” Pau Gasol & Andrew Bynum were the best offensive PF & Center in the league & Lamar Odom was a 6th Man of the Year. The dramatic irony is Kobe even had to face Ray Allen to reach that 1st chip withOut Shaq

I love how lucky the Lakers always turn out to be. Every possibly random outcome or ref call always ends up in their favor for some reason.

I’m from England, know virtually nothing about basketball but really enjoy all your uploads! Top work

Here's an interesting story that could've been part of this iceberg. The story of Bison Dele. Bison Dele was an solid NBA forward that averaged 11 points and 6 boards a games. Throughout his career he struggled with depression and even tried to commit suicide twice. He originally wanted to take football as his athletic career but chose basketball instead. During his career, his brother would request money from Bison every year. After Bison's 10 year career, he was struggling with what to do with his life. So he and his girlfriend bought a boat and sailed across the world. Meanwhile, his brother still demanded huge amounts of money from Bison. (Now before you read this next segment, this isn't true this is what crime investigators thought the situation would go down.) In 2002, Bison and his girlfriend were set to sail to Tahiti, Polynesia. Bison's brother snuck on the boat and during mid-sail, and had a heated argument with Bison, during the argument, Bison's brother (miles dabord) killed Bison's girlfriend. Miles then killed the captain and Bison himself. He disposed the bodies into the ocean. Bison and his girlfriend's body have still not been found to this day. However, a couple of years later, a body was washed up on a beach in Mexico and the identity was Miles Dabord, the supposed killer. I know this story is long but it's worth it.

The Kevin Garnett trade wasn't a conspiracy. Minnesota was caught up in the Joe Smith contract situation which hurt the TWolves for a decade. McHale traded Garnett because he wouldn't leave because of loyalty. First off Kevin vetoed the trade until Ray Allen was included so this conspiracy is dead
-
The Morris brothers switching places theory is disproven, since the brothers have a few tattoos that the other one doesn't. Based on that, you can look at the pictures from the game and see that they didn't switch paces. If anything, it shows how tough Markieff Morris is. He played through such a bad injury and did so well that people assumed it wasn't even him playing.
-
The Morris twins actually admitted to playing for each other in at least one game while in high school, I believe. The T-Wolves aren't tanking, they're just inept. Bucks were 8-0 against the top 4 teams in the West in 01 (including the Lakers), which adds more weight to the theory that Stern wanted to keep them from having a legit chance at winning it all.
-
This list is missing so many key conspiracies, like Wilts Verticle Pistol Pete predicting his own death and Manute Bol playing as a 50 year old and the Collage Basketball Point Shaving Scandle of the 1950s just to name a few
-
Ive always said MJ doesn't care about winning as an owner. All about money. He drafts trash players so he wont have to pay max contracts

-
Jalen Rose literally just said on his show with the other dude that the Thunder are TANKING ON PURPOSE. LIKE HE LITERALLY JUST SAID IT. ITS NOT A CONSPIRACY THEORY.
-
Does anyone else feel like the western conference finals in 02 was more "surface level" then the 06 finals
-
Homie, you didn't even get into the magnet in the ball and rim conspiracy.... I thought it would be on the bottom of the iceberg. that one is crazy Peace
-
"Is my team stealth tanking?" Me, a fan of the Nets: No.

The Chris Paul veto is still crazy to this day
