You have no idea what you are talking about. There are several other basketball leagues around the world besides the NBA and those leagues also pay players millions of dollars. Plus, an increasing percentage of the NBA players are from other countries as well, so they do not play on our team but on the other teams.

While the NBA is indeed the premier league, not all players want to leave their county and play in the United States. There are lots of players who could play in the NBA but have chosen not to, and some are very good.

The sports world is corrupted. If there is a betting line, there is a chance of unhonest play. believe it or not, it is the truth. networks don't talk about it, teams don't talk about it. but its there. points shaving, coach betting on games. And you think its "Pride" shiit, then you might live in a dream world. The sports are not the way it plays, its the way the money plays. why do you think a team go for 2 points conversion to get 21-56 from 13-56 with nothing left on the clock? check the line and...it was underdog by 35.5 and bet on favored team is 90% consensus. Think about it and leave your darn dream world.

The fact that players make so much money actually helps to decrease that kind of corruption. Players are less likely to risk their livelihood and their long-term multi-million-dollar contracts to make a few extra bucks on the side.

If you know your sports history, then you know of the 1919 Black Sox Scandal where the White Sox threw the World Series. Eight players were banned for life from baseball as a result of this. The bribe money that these 8 players got paid was far higher than their baseball salaries. For example, Joe Jackson was paid $20k for his part in this scandal. His baseball salary for that season was only $6k.

I decided to adjust your quote because when i read your comments this actually makes more sense. The question I have is since thats the way you believe it is what's the point? Whats the answer? The Us team lost. So now amid all of the curruption what is your answer as to how the team can win next time. Give us a game plan.
