Just because the refs make bad calls once in a while, doesn't mean they are biased.

Just because one team gets called more for a certain violation, doesn't mean the refs are biased.

Just because one team wins the rings three years in a row, doesn't mean the refs are biased.

Just because Shaq and Kobe have a major attitude, doesn't mean the refs are biased.

Just because it appears as though the "stars" get away with more, doesn't mean they do. But even if there is a systematic favoring of the stars, that doesn't mean the refs are biased.

Here's a challenge for you: If, in reality, it's all scripted, if the whole thing is really entertainment and not sports, if money is really the bottom line, then here's what will happen: The Nets will win the first two, then the Lakers will win two, then the Nets one, then the Lakers one, and the final will be the most watched program in the history of TV. That's the only way NBC is going to make any profit on this venture. If the Lakers win in four, or even five, no one, except Shaq's mama, will be watching.
