Even though the rumors have been refuted 100 times, some people still believe in these five major rumors in the NBA.

At the moment when information is spreading rapidly, the NBA, as one of the most influential professional sports leagues in the world, has always been a "hotbed" for all kinds of rumors. Although officials and relevant personnel have repeatedly come forward to clarify, some rumors are still rampant among fans and are believed by some people. This article will thoroughly analyze the five major NBA rumors that are still widely circulated today, and explore why it is difficult to dispel the fog of rumors.

Kobe's body parts were used to study

Kobe's "four a morning spirit" and high-intensity training made him perform as well as an "alien" on the court, but after retirement, an outrageous rumor circulated on the Internet - his body parts were used to study.

Some rumor-mongers claimed that some of the body tissues that Kobe had taken out due to injury during the game were sent to a scientific research institute for human experiments, which is completely nonsense. Logically speaking, the treatment and recovery of professional players after injury follow strict medical regulations, and the processing of body tissue samples is also subject to laws and regulations. More importantly, the NBA official and Kobe himself have never made any ambiguous response to this. On the contrary, Kobe has been committed to the promotion and business activities of basketball since his retirement. His life trajectory is clearly visible and he has no time to involve such absurd events. However, some fans may have easily believed the rumor out of concerns about the misfortune of their idols or were misled by the title party, which made it still have a market in the niche group.

James is the second generation of "Son of the United States"

James has attracted much attention in the NBA and American society with his outstanding talent and court dominance, so there are rumors that he is the second generation of "Son of the United States".

This rumor intends to blur the facts. "Son of America" ​​was originally a genius prodigy who could win glory for the country by online novels, and James' success stems from his unremitting efforts and outstanding talent. The rumor-monger forced the relationship between the two, which is a slander of James' struggle. He has been attracting much attention since high school and has achieved today's success through his own efforts. At the same time, fictional characters are applied to real characters, seriously hurting their reputation. Although James and his team have repeatedly demonstrated their growth process and real background, some netizens are still addicted to absurd associations, which keeps the rumors spreading.

Ray Allen defected to the Heat to betray his brothers for money

In 2012, Ray Allen's decision to leave the Celtics to join the Heat was exaggerated by some people as a story of "betraying his brothers for money".

is not actually the case. At that time, the Celtics were in the reconstruction stage, and the team's tactics and lineup were facing major adjustments, and Ray Allen's role in the team gradually became marginalized. The Heat are in the window of winning the championship led by James and Wade. They are eager for Ray Allen's three-point shooting ability, providing him with an excellent platform to realize his dream of winning the championship. From the perspective of personal career development, Ray Allen's choice is based on considerations of his own value and career planning, rather than simply chasing money. His relationship with his former Celtic teammates during the Heat was not completely broken down due to this transfer, and their competition and friendship were reflected both on and off the court. Some Celtic fans may act emotionally and selectively ignore the facts, making this rumor a "classic plot" in some people's population.

Kobe's 81-point night relies on his teammates to score points

Kobe's 81-point single-game feat in 2006 is known as one of the historical miracles of the NBA, but there are rumors that he relies on his teammates to score points.

This rumor is a serious derogation of Kobe's strength. In that game, Kobe demonstrated comprehensive scoring skills and strong personal abilities. The Suns defense he faced was not a weak team, and he could still score high points through difficult shooting, breakthrough dunks and precise free throws. The competition process is full of fierce confrontation and tactical games, not a simple act of scoring. The game data and videos at that time clearly recorded Kobe's scoring method and game progress. The cooperation of his teammates was only a normal reflection of team basketball, not deliberately scoring points. Yet there are always some who are reluctant to acknowledge the personal heroism moments of great players, trying to explain this miracle with conspiracy theories, which leads to rumors still spread among some groups.

NBA Finals champions are decided in advance

Some fans believe that the NBA Finals champions have been decided in the league and the game is just a formality.

This statement is unfounded. As a business league, although business interests need to be considered, the fairness and competitiveness of the game are its foundation. The finals are a demonstration of the achievements of each team after arduous seasons. The champion teams in the East and West have all passed the qualities with their own strength. The game process is full of unknowns and variables, such as player injuries, tactical adjustments, etc., which may affect the title of the champion. The fierce competition in previous finals and the suspense of the final moments of the championship also proves the authenticity and unpredictability of the game. However, some fans blame the "internal determination" for their failure to support the team, or are influenced by conspiracy theories, and are unwilling to face the facts, making this rumor a "reasonable explanation" in their hearts.

The existence of these rumors reflects the psychological state of some fans being dissatisfied with the results of the game, blindly following the herd, and lacking critical thinking. In the information age, we should remain rational. When facing network information, we need to verify it from multiple parties and look at the NBA with an objective and fair attitude, so that we can truly enjoy the charm of basketball and respect the principle of fair competition between players' efforts and the league.
