The Reddit Post That Almost Broke the NBA 

Two things: first, sorry about forgetting Secaucus is in NJ. Second: there’s so much spam/scammers in the comments! Don’t get fooled!

My theory: JJJ is the original Reddit poster. He did a genius move and drew attention to his incredible splits disparity to solidify his DPoY run this season. 4D chess style.

The Reddit user just handed Jaren the DPOY award

"People on reddit are not just dorks on the internet" I wouldn't go that far

Adam Silver acted so quick, that’s proof alone the league is rigged.

but the nba is rigged, has been for years. tim donaghy was a scapegoat, you really think he is the one and only one to rig games. in no other professional sport especially in the big 4 do the refs have as much power and control as they do in the nba. two quick ticky tack fouls and you can have your best player on the court sitting in the first quarter. Imagine if tom brady was sitting out with 10 minutes left of the first quarter. refs also control the pacing of the game, sometimes they let them play on, sometimes its little ticky tack, sometimes thats a good no contact, sometimes its you breath on me and its a foul. refs control and dictate wayyyyyy to much of the nba.

My local pro sports team used to have the opposite problem, good road record and a lousy home record. It was because the core players had a very bad habit of partying the night before home games but were more accountable for their whereabouts and activities when out on the road.

People never talk about the league "points of emphasis" mentioned by Donaghy. The NBA throws games by telling officials to call certain fouls against teams or players on a game by game basis. He mentions how Allen Iverson carried the ball the whole year and right before a big game they came down on him. Oftentimes points of emphasis would all go against one team to lengthen a playoff series. Remember Golden State and the Cavs in the finals?

Tony Brothers 100% is one of those refs who fix games

I’ve always believed the league is corrupt. Scott Foster was literally caught gambling on games he was reffing, yet he still has a job. This JJJ example didn’t turn out to be true and to be fair was farfetched at best, but the overlying issues with the NBA is very suspect.

Something similar happened to this with the Clippers during the 90s with Donald Sterling’s influence on home game score keeping but it was the opposite way that he may had them not record certain stats as way to be cheap to the players.

Holy shit it’s almost like a team that is 21-4 at home and 11-16 on the road plays better at home….truly groundbreaking

A follow up video to this should be, are the NBA and NFL licensed under Entertainment and therefore allowed to script outcomes? Rumors say yes

That's reassuring to know, I just hope the refs situation gets dealt with because the Celtics have a 38-2 record with Eric Lewis as a ref, and given the no call on Lebron, at least an investigation has to happen

People love their illusions....some will never believe it's rigged no matter what

Even if this case wasn’t rigged, there is definetly something sketchy going on, no way Adam Silver would react that fast if he knew that NBA is not rigged

Just like when MJ forced to retire to play baseball, he was betting on sports game...Many former bookies , and people in the business say it was/is common with referees certain players, point shaving ect., all levels...

This channel is my favorite NBA reporting on RU-vid, or really anywhere for that matter. Love the content man. It's fills my NBA information addiction for sure. Well it helps a lot because I consume probably way to much content.

Why are you shouting at me

I had no idea the NBA leaked the report about refs betting. We need an in depth video on that.

theres been numerous occasions of stat keeping being rigged, i remember when russell westbrook had his mvp season they were messing with his stats as well, doesn't surprise me it probably happens all the time in sports

How is this man only at 200k. Man should be working for the NBA as a broadcaster

Everything is rigged. Literally everything. Politics, stock trading, sports, award shows. Whatever it is, it's rigged.

I fucking KNEW betting was gonna ruin sports, I just never knew it was gonna happen this fast

There so much money involved, I'd be shocked if pro sports weren't rigged.

one of your best videos yet i love the way you make people think youre taking 1 side at the beginning of the vid and then show the truth, keep up the great vids i love when you cover controversy

This is some solid content. Definitely had me questioning the legitimacy of his blocks before showing the other angles. Good stuff Casey 👍

I remember waking up, check reddit saw a 60k upvotes and then the NBA is on catastrophe. 🤣

They need to apply this same investigation into foul calls.

This is how the world works. Placing bets and rigging games is considered child’s play compared to the other things that the ‘higher ups’ indulge in

Everyone knows the NBA is more about entertainment than the integrity of the sport. It wouldn't surprise me if the NBA and odds makers are in cahoots.

Nba and nfl are rig city baby ! I knew with betting becoming nearly nationwide that the house of cards would fall… these leagues and sports books would turn a huge profit without having to resort to fixing games, but as in everything else money/greed ruins everything… it’s literally the root of evil…

As a Spurs fan, this is the opposite of their scorekeeper. Duncan probably got shafted out of at least 500 legitimate blocks in his career. This probably influenced the voters in the awful decision to never award him DPOY. But this JJJ situation doesn't surprise me. I remember a lot of ppl accused the Celtics stat-keeper of goosing up Rondo's assists back in the day as well. Also heard that with Stockton

NBA and WWE the same! It’s call entertainment.

Memphis has a weird energy surrounding the city. Anybody repping Memphis is tapped in to this same energy.

“People on Reddit are not just dorks on the internet” That’s where u lost me bub

Is it just me or are more people starting to become aware of professional sports rigging lately?

Crazy Tyler Herro has enough time to get buckets full time for the Heat and also run a successful RU-vid channel like this. Props.

I've always heard John Stockton had his assist numbers inflated. I wonder when this scorekeeping system was put in place.

You legalize gambling in NBA and get surprised that people rig the games? That was apparent miles away.

They should expose the nba refs. And why some of them are so blind

NFL is rigged too

Maybe this was part of the Reddit posters elaborate plan? Make Jaren Jackson's defensive blocks well-known so he can win Defensive Player Of The Year.

The block on Zion is JJJ stripping the ball with his hand that isn’t up. Zion was mid air as well. It is technically a block or at least a mislabeled steal

Life itself is rigged

When your so good that people start making conspiracy theories about you💀

"people on reddit are not just dorks on the internet" you have time to edit that out bro

All yall saying NBA is rigged but still watch. Yall too funny

It isn't unprecedented. In the 90s when the Lakers were shit, they needed some hype around their team and so one night gave enough extra assists to Nick Van Exel for him to break a record (20-something assists). Also Boston gave a shitload more assists to Rondo than he should've gotten

This is actually a good thing for the NBA and all other leagues. Now that sports betting is legal and small bets on player performance is common, they have to ensure that their monitoring, recording, and auditing of individual stats are legit.

Do a video about the refs rigging lakers games

Crazy how everyone talks about the missed call on lebron like they’re not gonna acknowledge that he also clearly traveled on that same play but it also wasn’t called

Secaucus, NEW JERSEY***

I’m a ball boy for the Cavs and there’s a Caesars sports book in the arena and we’re told you CANNOT place any bets in person or on any app while in the building

When you're a big market in sports, you get better treatment from the league and refs but one main priority is they always try to protect the owners

Massachusetts now allows sports betting,seen yesterday

Why would Silver need to hold an emergency meeting if it wasn't rigged

If u played daily fantasy u know theres multiple ways to rig events ..the most common was reported injuries or illness after lineups have already lockdd but the game hasnt started lol or random DNP, illness 1 min before tipoff..my favorite is when the guy gets 2 random foul calls in the first 5 minutes to put him in foul trouble or gets straight ejected .. its always someone that has about 40 -50percent usage ownership that night...But what is truely interesting is that our system allows businesses like this to operate, or else our economy would fail. Its big $ and thats all that matters to those that have it at the top. Enjoy your one life under their rule.

Watching the NBA feels different now

I’m from Australia, why is sports betting only legal in certain states ? That’s crazy

Hopefully the guy who exposed all of this is still alive and well 😅😂

I think they do it reverse. Under the leather there is metal wrapped under leather but so small you don't know difference. The rim is actually a electro magnet being able to kick it on with switch when they need a basketball to go in. All someone has to do to find out is to steal NBA game ball. Run like they never ran before , then dissect the ball to prove it's got stuff in ball to make it magnetic. Or wear magnet gloves and say hey let me take a shot. If the ball sticks , we know what's going on. I've seriously been saying this since Jordan was making every shot he took in the 90s. Vegas probably holds the switch that kicks on and off the electro magnetic rim. See those electro magnets can be fine tuned too. Like maybe they don't want a shot to go in. The reverse the magnetism so the ball won't go through rim. Ever seen some one try dunking just to see ball bounce out of rim with force. That's the electro magnet working in reverse. I know this is a funny topic but Why wouldn't a multi billion dollar industry not do use electro magnetism to dictate games life. I say for sure their doing it on all professional levels including college, especially college quadruple overtime games every game 😂

There has been some "rigging" in the Warriors and Lakers games this season especially in the past few weeks. You should try to cover this as well.

this is the first video of yours i’ve seen. your editing is clean, your audio is clear, and i love the swish sound you add in for visuals!!!! keep it up bro

It's been rigged from the beginning but this isn't how it's done. It's about controlling the flow.

SPORTS BETTING RUINED THE GAME.

The thing that most surprises me as a non-US person is that sports betting is only legal in 20 states lol how is that possible, sports betting seems perfect for the USA!

I thought it was a coincidence "for the first time in NBA history" scenarios occur every season.

But dont forget about the impact nic clax has done with the nets

Seacaucus, New Jersey.

As Mark Dice 🎲 said, this channel needs to be heated RU-vid 👍

Makes me wonder if any of the basketball greats of the 70’s 80’s and 90’s also got there via this rig

I have noticed this so many times with players not getting credit for rebounds , assists, and such. Even though it clearly was

When CP3 first started out in New Orleans, it was pretty obvious that the New Orleans stat guy was padding his assist stats.

That Brandon Clarke one was definelty a Jackson block lol

Imagine being so good ppl think your stats are being padded 😅

Growing up. I used to watch who was going to referee an NBA game. After Donahue scandal they keep it secret before a game. I used to be able to pick games based on who was calling the game. For real!

As a grizzlies fan, we are well aware that jaren plays better at home, similarly as bane shoots better on the road.

So here's my question as someone who knows nothing about this and used to play NBA DFS: How soon after the fact are those close calls verified? Is it that night or are there reviews the next day well after the DFS sites post their cash outs?

this is such a well done video imma follow for this type of content.

Jaylen Brown next video A.M. Hoops 🙏🙏🙏

4:53 Shed a tear for the Vancouver Grizzlies.

Even if the JJJ stats are legit, there are many other examples that show the league is, in some ways, "rigged". And it would be against their interest to not do so.

Never forget how the refs catapulted the 2012-2013 Lakers to the playoffs. Those last few games the Lakers had were absolutely rigged. Only for them to get swept in the 1st round by San Antonio. ☹

Bballbreakdown has a review on this matter. Some of the examples are legit stat for JJJ

Hindsight is 20/20…3:16 Lebron needed a dunk on this play to close the game out. Can’t leave it to the refs to make the right call.

I was looking forward to your take on this, thank you!!

Adam Silver looks like the villian in every superhero movie ever.

🤷🏻‍♂️ its been happening for decades.

2:53 that’s saben lee not damion

Most of us KNOW the NBA is rigged but it’s still pretty entertaining lol

Sports betting is just gambling, you are no better than someone who wastes their money away at a casino

I like nic Claxton better

Oh no. A billion dollar industry with a profit incentive based on a past time hobby! What could go wrong?

All your videos are well thought out, excellent job brother!

My theory: I think the Reddit poster is a fan of some team in the southwest division

wish I put like $1000 or something down on that JJJ bet for dpoy before the season started. Very good chances now on that nice profit. Those are the types of bets I would actually do, keep it nice and simple. I hate all the splits or this team will win by this many points and shit like that. They make sure to skew those detailed number bets against your favor so you'll usually lose more than win.

Jaren Jackson was going crazy on blocks for my fantasy tho

nba is not a competitive league, its entertainment, its a movie, its a play with a script

If I had just Half the energy of this guy making this video………. 🤯
