    Default Tracy McGrady Says The 2006 NBA Finals Was Rigged

    Just saw this interview with T-Mac, regarding the Finals.
    Interview starts at 5:50 - pretty old interview:

    http://odeo.com/audio/1597802/view

    Interviewer: Were you rooting for them or Dallas?
    TMac: Shaq is like a big brother of mine. I have known him
    for awhile so I was pulling for him. But I wanted to keep
    the ring in the West so i was pulling for Dallas.

    Interviewer: Yeah but Dallas, how can you root for Dallas?

    TMac: Well I wanted to root for Dallas because thats the
    same team we took 7 games into the playoffs a couple of
    years ago, so I wanted to root for them just so everyone
    knows how good they are.

    Interviewer: Was it a little ridiculous how Dwyane Wade
    got all the calls?

    TMac: Yeah, yeah it really was. I'll tell you man, it
    seems if you were watching that game, seemed like it was
    rigged. Seriously. I know the NBA.... (cut off by
    interviewer)

    Interviewer: You just got fined (sarcastically)
    TMac: I dont care. So what? But yeah it seemed like it
    was rigged. With all the calls he was getting. Jesus. Did
    you hear me? We are talking about the NBA Finals, <b>I wish
    I could say I was just kidding, and thats what it seemed
    like.

    Im serious alot of my friends watched the games, watched the
    finals, and thats the way they say it to me. They are like,
    from watching the game here, it seems like it is rigged. I
    was like man, I dont know nothing about that.

    He never said it was rigged, he said it seemed like it was.

    Which basicly means he thinks it was.
