Excerpts From The Book The NBA Doesn't Want You To Read

Excerpts From The Book The NBA Doesn't Want You To Read I have no idea what is true and was it fabricated but this is a very interesting read. https://deadspin.com/5392067/excerpts-from-the-book-the-nba-doesnt-want-you-to-read

Book publishers will publish any tell all book out there. Are the NBA's lawyers that powerful to get a huge company like Random House to pull the plug on a surefire best seller?

And I certainly remember both Game 6 of the Western Conference Finals in '02 and Game 7 of the Western Conference Finals in 2000; two clear examples of NBA playoff manipulation at it's finest.
