The conspiracy theories sometimes fun to read/watch about, but I can't seriously consider them when there are no real proofs. In my opinion, there's too much money involved, hundreds of millions USD, in advertising during NBA games to risk losing it by trying to rig the games.

Well it's all fun and games until one dude takes it seriously and delves into so much info that is probably closely fabricated and then proceeds to talk trash of the entire community. And imo, it's not a matter of money at that kind of stage tbh. Ofc, it doesn't mean that they'd ignore the money, but they could still rig small things while being unseen, especially since fame have the same importance as money when you have enough of one of them. It's like how people spend money to become famous, or they become famous to obtain money.

We can't talk about evidence because there was really no evidence, otherwise NBA would not anymore exist now.

As big as they are, they also have big influence and they will do everything to keep their good reputation as that is the only thing that makes them attract people to like their league, everything is just a speculation, but it's good to see some speculation as it makes the league exciting to bet.

Well if there was any evidence, even if NBA would still stand, a few teams here and there would've come and go, and a lot of players would've been banned from joining NBA permanently. Not that impossible imo, after all, rules are rules.
