Stern tells us that the alleged point fixing referee was in the "top-tier of accuracy". What was the bottom tier of accuracy for officiating for the NBA like?

Do you like how Stern tells us it was an isolated individual while the investigation is still going on

Boycott the NBA!!

Fake but accurate calls?

Kinda like graduating from medical school.

The number 1 student earns the title "Doctor".

So does the lowest ranked med student.

[Buckhead]

The world’s tallest midget.

The world’s most honest crook.

The most virtuous whore.

I could go on.

[Izzy Dunne]

I graduated in the top 95% of my class.

This is not about accuracy. The key in NBA officiating has to do with what gets called and when.

Ahh a graduate of rather university!

Which depends completely on how the game is fixed.

David Stern should have to personally repay everyone he fined for criticizing the officials.

David Stern hardly sounds like Kennesaw Mountain Landis as Mr. Stern defends the accuracy of the "point shaving" official and goes as far as saying that this official was in the "top tier of accuracy" for the league.

Then he expects us to jump to the conclusion this official is an "isolated incident" while the investigation is still ongoing.

How is every game this guy was an official for "an isolated incident" in any way shape or form?

Witness here the world's only "isolated incident" that happened again and again and again in different locations of the country.

NBA should have to at least refund the season ticket holders for the fixed games. They should also have to return funds to advertisers who paid for advertisements during fixed games. They also should have to refund lost legal wagers on fixed games.

The NBA also needs a new commissioner who can try to clean up the league.

Mr. Stern here is certainly looking like a buffoon.

Spin.

NBA is trying to spin this one faster than a Harlem Globetrotter can spin a ball on his finger.

[Lost Highway]

Should be pretty easy to pick out the calls where he was throwing games then.

95% of the game is half crooked.
