I have no way of knowing if every team is accurate but from spending a little time in the general NBA sub, the lakers one is. Their disparity is absolutely insane.

Knowing this when you watch is one thing.
But to see the lakers 3x as many free throw as 2nd is a massive problem.

Also of note:
“The findings from Matt Moore, an NBA writer, were that 1) much of the Lakers significant advantage in FT differential is that they get teams in the bonus more often and faster than every other team in the league, meaning they shoot a helluva lot of FT that aren’t related to paint shot attempts. 2) they have the lowest rate in the league of fouling opposing teams on their paint-shot attempts, meaning teams don’t shoot a lot of FT against the lakers because the Lakers don’t foul often in those situations.
Now people may ask “why do the Lakers get into the bonus so often and so fast?” And “why don’t the Lakers get called for as many shooting fouls as everyone else?” “It must be the NBA manipulating things for LeBron and the big-market Lakers!”
And I’m not going to tell them they’re wrong or … right. That’s just how the stats explain their advantages”
(I pasted from the another sub some to give some extra context for the disparity in favor of the lakers)

Knicks and Lakers and the top is highly suspicious. Either a crazy coincidence or some light rigging for large markets.
