At some point, it became en vogue to claim the NBA is as fake as wrestling.

After the New York Knicks received the No. 1 pick in the 1985 NBA draft lottery and the rights to hall-of-fame center Patrick Ewing, people swore it was a ploy by the league to guarantee its biggest market competed for championships

Since then, NBA conspiracies have become as commonplace as JFK, Roswell and Bigfoot.

Never mind that the Knicks haven’t won a championship since 1973.

And as LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers came back from a 3-1 deficit to beat the Golden State Warriors for the NBA title Sunday night, the cries grew louder.

Ayesha Curry, the wife of Warriors star Steph Curry, got the ball rolling admirably.

After watching what she felt were unfavorable calls against her husband’s team in Game 6, she wrote this on Twitter: “I’ve lost all respect sorry this is absolutely rigged for money... Or ratings in (sic) not sure which. I won’t be silent. Just saw it live sry. (sic)”

The great thing about Curry’s tweet is the great thing about most conspiracy theorists.

She wasn’t even sure of the motive.

What Curry probably didn’t know was that the home team from each playoff game receives 75 percent of ticket revenue.

The Warriors reportedly grossed around $18 million in ticket sales in Game 7.

Only 25 percent of that went to the league.

So, I guess you can believe the NBA — which has 13 teams valued at over a billion dollars each — rigged Game 6 for an extra $5 million.

That’s like Bill Gates robbing a 7-Eleven.

So, Ayesha Curry must have thought Game 6 was rigged for ratings.

There must be an Oz-like figure in the ABC offices, calling officials to make sure the NBA Finals last seven games.

So why have there only been seven Game 7s since 1980?

If you started watching the NBA after Ronald Reagan became president, you’ve seen a whopping seven Game 7s in the Finals.

You’ve also seen the San Antonio Spurs — the team from the 37th biggest television market — win five championships since 1999.

That doesn’t stop people from putting on the tinfoil hats, though.

A quick scientific Google search pulls up just over 500,000 results for “MLB is rigged,” and another 500,000 for “NFL is rigged.”

Search “NBA is rigged,” however, and you’re lucky enough to have 23 million articles to read, if you wish.

Twenty-three million.

Every person in Cuba could read two articles on the NBA being rigged, and there would still be a thousand left for your uncle to show you at the next family barbecue.

If the NBA is rigged, it needs to hire a new writer.

The only concrete evidence people have of the NBA fixing games is Tim Donaghy, a former referee who was convicted of betting on games he officiated during the early 2000s.

But Donaghy was caught by the FBI and spent nearly 11 months in prison.

So Donaghy was either the unluckiest man in the world, or a lone wolf that was caught.

I’ll go with the latter.

You can keep the tinfoil hat.
