Vote: Do NBA stars really get the calls?


In his recent column, Page 2's Patrick Hruby explores eight commonly held beliefs that NBA haters hold about the NBA. Do you agree with the haters? Or do you side with Hruby?

Check his debunking of the myths, and then place your vote.

  • 1) Myth: NBA players can't shoot.
  • 2) Myth: Only the last five minutes of a game matter.
  • 3) Myth: The draft lottery is rigged.
  • 4) Myth: There is no ''NBA'' in T-E-A-M. NBA doesn't have true team players.
  • 5) Myth: Stars get the calls.
  • 6) Myth: The crowd can affect free-throw shooting.
  • 7) Myth: College guys play harder.
  • 8) Myth: The fix is in for big-market teams.
