Basketball conspiracy theories

Lots of folk believe nothing bad ever happens in the world without sinister background forces conspiring to make it so.

What are some of the great all-time basketball conspiracy theories?

My favourite: that for the 1985 draft, the NBA was desperate for much-hyped Patrick Ewing to go to the big-market and hype-loving NY Knicks.

The story goes that the ping-pong ball for the draft lottery belonging to the Knicks had been put in some form of fridge or freezer, making it cold to the touch and easy for David Stern to pull out first.

Others:

- the US getting screwed by those Commy-pinko-lefties from the USSR in the 1972 Olympics gold medal match;

- to get a gig with the Sixers, play for Sturt locally;

- Sam Cassell is an alien, or, at the very least, has an alien's head.

Isiah Thomas not on the NBA Dream team cos Jordan said he wouldn't play on the team if Isiah was on it.

I hate Isiah Thomas! He also whinged about not being on the team lol.

The 6ers and the dome have been brought so that the team can be wound down and a capital gain made on the dome land once sold.

That no one's mentioned a certain Ferrari is a bit concerning!

Only to you, maybe. To paraphrase Homer Simpson: it's not a conspiracy theory because it's true? ;)
