Yep. The Spurs tanked it on purpose to get David Robinson, who I'll never respect. Recall that Robinson, his teammates and the OPPOSING team colluded to let Robinson score 70 points in the final game of the year so he could win the scoring title over Shaq. Despicable.

I don't blame the Spurs for tanking it that year. That is the way the league is set up now and the Cavs have figured that out. Every team in the league who is considered to be out of the playoffs should be losing every game they can. It ain't right, but that is just the way the league is set up. ESPECIALLY the Nets and the Knicks.

Holy cow, I remember quite well, David Robinson scoring 71 points against the L.A. Clippers. If that collusion you’re mentioning is true, why was there no investigation and the miscreants punished ?

If Robinson was part of this sleazy game fixing scandal, then the NBA is a dirty league which rewards dirty players with MVP’s ( Robinson won it ), Trophies ( Robinson won it twice ) and 50 greatest players of all time (Robinson is on the list ).

Where are you getting this information from ?
