There are all sorts of guys who firmly believe all pro-sports are rigged. (Actually, college games are more likely to be rigged.) I used to work with a guy who swore up and down that all NFL games were fixed. Nobody argued with him because he was one belligerent, very tough scrapper who didn’t tolerate dissent from his nutty opinions. But we all looked at him like he’d lost his marbles. Which he probably had. How an entire schedule of games for a pro league involving thousands of people over many years could be fixed without someone leaking it was never explained by my co-worker.

I don't think ALL the games are "rigged" but I sure do think that certain refs and certain players make for games to be beneficial if you knew who was participating prior to the game.

Look at when NBA officials are announced for each game. The commissioner actually changed the time in order to ........ I don't know, make information more accessible to the public I suppose. hahahahahaha. look at the case of the crooked NBA refs and then follow an NBA team closely following the book on the games. Makes for some really funny stuff.
