The hand is part of the ball in the NBA...it's in the rules....
The wrist isn't.
This stuff about the games being rigged is ridiculous....the players still have to put the ball in the hole...
I agree with the hand stuff...
The game is rigged, fouls, scratches, player injuries, scoring baskets... all those things are very real and uncontrolable to an extent, but certain calls and momentum can be controlled by the Ref's and momentum swings can dictate the outcome of a game very easily.
Don't get me wrong I'm not trying to change your mind, if you think BILLIONS of dollars can change hands without somebody important having their finger in it then thats cool. But name one other thing on this planet can make that claim other than another sports event?
