Here's one:

In a league where the officiating is allegedly rigged at times, one might think there could be some leniency when players or coaches choose to complain about the referees, but that is not the case. In fact, criticizing the refs is the most commonly fined offense in the NBA. It accounts for nearly a quarter of the total number of fines issued, and is responsible for more than $2 million out of the pockets of the guilty parties.

I'd say it's the opposite: It's precisely because "the officiating is allegedly rigged at times" that the league fines so heavily for daring to point out the Emporer has no clothes. But, whateva.
