I honestly don't think that the NBA is rigged. Yes, the refs make a lot of mistakes, but that's because they're just human. And yes, they do give calls to KD, but they're called Superstar calls, not KD calls, i.e. every superstar gets them and everyone who's ever had to defend one during the playoffs knows this. My chief proof back is in '08 when LeBron vs. Kobe was being hyped like crazy. Remember all those Nike ads? No doubt, if the NBA really wanted to make more money, they would've rigged it so that Cleveland won against the Magic.
