Conspiracy in the NBA?

News recently broke in a BleacherReport article that after the 2006 NBA Championships the Dallas Mavericks owner, Mark Cuban, hired a retired FBI agent to do some snooping around on the NBA officials after many controversial calls cost the Mavericks the championship. Although what was found by the agent, Warren Flagg, are not known to the public, we do know that Flagg told Cuban "Sue and you'll win your case".

As many of you may remember, the Mavericks had started out the best of seven series up two games to zero but things when down hill from there. Arguably the biggest factor being Dwayne Wade's ninety seven free throw opportunities over the course of the six games. Many believe that Wade's free throws were the game changer especially in the Heat's 101-100 win during game 5 of the series.

We do not know exactly what Flagg found out but it is astonishing that he believed that Cuban could have won a case against the NBA. Many conspiracy theorist are taking this as profound proof that there is something fishy going on in the NBA at a level that not even owners know about it. I think it is incredible that in a country that puts so much value on professional athletes and sports that this many believe this to actually be happening. Do you think it is justifiable to believe that this could be happening in the NBA? If this all were to be true how do you think NBA fans would react? Please share your thoughts below.
