NBA rigged it so the Lakers would be in the finals, because they think LeBron is a star that everyone wants to see.
LeBron is a jerk, like BLM propaganda he drives away more viewers than he attracts ... guess the geniuses running the NBA couldn’t understand that
I don’t think the NBA had to ‘rig’ the Lakers in the finals. What I did detect was a lack of ‘intensity’ on the part of a few of the playoff teams. It seemed like “Playing in the Bubble” was a little too much for some of these professionals. There was a little bit of cheating against the restrictions and a LOT of complaining about them. I think those teams just sort of collapsed when they hit a bit of adversity because the players just wanted to go home. LeBron in his pursuit of a legacy seemed to keep the Lakers relatively focused.
