Alright, look guys, I wrote to the league office asking the same question that hamster13 allegedly did, but I got, to say the least, a differently-worded response. I don't know what hamster13's deal is, or if he's a shill for the league or if he works for Vegas or what, but someone blatantly altered the content of the letter allegedly sent to him. I'm going to post the NBA's ACTUAL response right here.....UNALTERED. For all of you who ever wondered how tough the league is willing be on players who get mixed up in any league-related gambling scandal, read on.... .
Thank you for writing the National Basketball Association with your concerns about Chauncey Billups’ attempt to cheat second half under bettors with his field goal attempt on the Lakers’ basket as time expired in their game against the Nuggets on Nov. 11.
Rule No. 5, Section I.e. of The 2010-11 Official NBA Rule Book explicitly states: “It is a violation for a player to attempt a field goal at an opponent’s basket for the purpose of altering poinstpread or over/under wagers. These wagers are not limited to the standard full game wagers but also include 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th quarter wagers, as well as 1st and 2nd half wagers. For cosmetic purposes, the opposing team will be awarded the ball at the free throw line extended. In addition, the offending player will have his newest Escalade stripped in the parking lot of the team's practice facility within 48 hours of said violation.”
For this reason, Billups’ shot as time expired did not count and the final score will remain 118-112, thus negating Mr. Billups' ill-advised attempt to lift the second half point total over 107.5 points.
Thank you again for writing and for your incurable addiction to the NBA's powerful and sinister wagering appeal.

There you go, guys. So let's not hear any more nonsense about how "the league's in on the fix!", because they're clearly keeping their eyes peeled for crap like Billups tried to pull.
