The NBA’s getting even stinkier.
FUGEDDABUODDITTT.
Shocking! Sports is not on the up and up?
There is no Mafia.
Old Mafia guys claim the NBA was fixed from its inception.
Say it ain’t so, Joe.
Earlier today ESPN was practically falling over themselves trying to NOT talk about this. Pat McAfee just about laughed off a legal rep who was reporting on the early information.
They placed bets on the Lakers, gee I could have done that, they have sucked since 2020, see that simple
Rumor was that Micheal Jordan’s one year of minor league baseball was an agreed-to punishment for making illegal (at the the time) bets.
Pete Rose bet on games in which he had a duty to perform, but he was never accused of betting against his own team. The danger was if a player becomes indebted to gamblers, he may be coerced into failing to perform to favor gamblers.
Shoeless Joe Jackson likely never collaborated with gamblers, but he was offered bribes. His play during the World Series does not indicate that he was trying to throw the games, although his teammates did.

So now I wonder whether these guys will get the “Pete Rose/Shoeless Joe” treatment by the sports press and the league ...?
1. Player gets in over his head with gambling debts and cannot pay.
2. Player told he will pay. Period.
3. Players begs inability to do so.
4. Big guy wraps an arm around player and tells him all or part of his debt can be erased if he cooperates.
5. A few points here, a few points there, some inside info.
6. Player is now owned for life.
This has happened many, many times.
Good. Insider Trading.
