[b]Theater v. sport[/quote]

That is pretty obvious... but I mean in the eyes of the law. What about boxing? Supposedly it is a sport but it is notorious for its apparent "theatrics". Personally I believe the NBA is fixed... but it isn't overtly fixed. For instance... because Shaq is so popular the head of NBA officiating makes sure that rules are enforced to help him rather than hurt him. I believe that it may go as far as to use certain officals, at specific times that are known for their style of officiating games.

Most of the comments are based on disappointment from unrealistic expectations or the most ludicrous notion that you sitting in your barc-o-lounger knows more about how to win basketball games than Nelson.
