Would one of the conspiracy theory junkies care to tell me when or at least pin point a general time when NBA refs started throwing games?

I think it would be a stretch to say NBA refs were biased back in the days of Wilt and Russell, after all baseball was more popular then, and it certainly was not the entertainment juggernaut it is now. However, can someone refresh my memory on how many times Wilt (arguably the most dominant player of his time) fouled out? If you know the answer, then Pizanno just might be correct. One rarely fouls out if one is the most dominant player of that era, itÂ’s called talent.

And trust me, it pains me to say that because I am not a Shaq fan. But, no one in the league can carry his jock right now (although his free throw skills seem to remind me of another laker big man...).
