Do you think it's rigged?

Of course. It may not be as staged as professional wrestling, but they already know who's going to win.

It's funny, I work for a company that's doing some of the printing for it and we got some of the apparel in today from ESPN, and as a joke I said
>Why don't we save time and just slap the Golden State logo on it right now?
and in all seriousness he said
>Actually, it already comes with their logo pre attached

We didn't get any Cavs apparel like that so either ESPN is really into gambling for no reason, or they know something I don't.

The better team is winning, so no.

Sorry, the "he" in that sentence was my supervisor

it's sold as entertainment, thus not being a level playing field as the outcome does not depend on merit but by arbitrary rulings

>>76394275
It's not rigged. The better team is wiping the floor with the Cavs.

I work for a company that sells NBA finals apparel and it's all Cavs stuff. You're lying.

Both teams have a pretty equal fanbase so why waste the effort

Also why would they have the same finals three years in a row sounds pretty boring for something they are supposedly rigging for entertainment

Is this some new meme I'm supposed to understand?

eh- maybe they're playing both sides? But that's generally not how it works.

There's an urban legend that they print winning apparel for both sides in advance and that they send all the "alternate timeline" ones to Africa or something. As a rule they don't. It'd be a huge waste of money. They might print a smallish batch of a few thousand in advance, but because of copyright laws or something we're required to destroy it.
We don't really even start printing until the game's over. It would be really unusual for officially licensed apparel to be printed in large quantities in advance for both sides.
