Sheed and Bonzi Wells interview/confront crooked NBA official

Great info in here

How they target players, Kobe, AI, Sheed, Mark Cuban, etc...

Certain refs (named) were apart of the show

Why you see some former refs hired by ESPN (oh wow)

Bonzi explains how they worked their entire lives to make it, only to get screwed by gambling refs, losing millions, lost contracts & endorsements.

Y'all should really listen.

They mention Scott Foster and chris paul as well

The league enables this sh*t too.

Yes

Davis stern hired one of the FBI investigators, Ronny nunn getting paid 100k for occasionally explaining a call during the season so he was in on it too.

They still do it

And people really count thos rings where they got caught handing the rings to the lakers

If you aren’t grown enough to know it’s ALL fixed. That’s on you toots.

Didnt watch yet but brought his book years ago. He got in trouble for gambling not for fixing. Technically sports is entertainment. If a team or player gets screwed just say that to yourself and it takes off some of steam.

Works for me at least.

I just watched. But what he said was he followed league orders. And in the book he said he knew who ref'd the games and who didn't like who. The nba would have points of emphasis on based on those things he would tell his gambling buddies what he felt the outcome was gonna be. He was accurate most of the time. I know they gonna make sure they call fouls on Shaq the other team is gonna have problems. He never got in trouble for "fixing." Maybe publicly but in court he was in trouble for gambling. The nba doesn't fix but their points of emphasis put handicaps in and only the refs know. Refs control the game.

Idk you listen to other players pods. But when they talk about Kobe. They said Kobe use to hack the sh*t out them. And Kobe knew he wasn't gonna get thrown out because they there to see him. In Donaghy book he said early in his career he ref'd a game and jordan had the ball last possession on the block isolated. He said jordan hooked the guy in a spin and did some wild reverse layup that went in but he called jordan for hooking. He said the whole arena looked at him including the refs like an alien. He said he got chewed and learned there's a balance and ppl not there for you to blow the whistle.

The Knicks are trash on their own, they don't need to league to rig anything against them

That was just on some court sh*t what they wanted to nail him on and was trying to get plea....

During the NBA Finals, Donaghy said in a court filing that the league routinely encouraged refs to ring up bogus fouls to manipulate results, while discouraging them from calling technical fouls on star players.

Perhaps most shocking were Donaghy's charges during the highly anticipated 2008 Finals between the Boston Celtics and the Los Angeles Lakers that results were manipulated to help ticket sales and television ratings.

The allegations -- contained in court papers arguing that Donaghy deserved leniency for voluntarily disclosing the alleged corruption -- included one claim that referees rigged a 2002 playoff series to force it to a revenue-boosting seventh game.

NBA been rigged as fu*k!! The more the sh*t came to the light the more I stopped watching it.

NFL as well, have whole shows about gambling lines and odds

This is why I can't take none of this sh*t serious. I'm too old to believe in the wwf sh*t. The crowd ain't bullsh*tting when they chant ref you suck. They keep going to watch they sh*t though...

07:31 AM

The fact some of yall are just now realizing sports are made for tv. Welcome to reality boys. You really think these leagues dont care if Portland, Jacksonville, or the Oakland As have deep postseason runs? Money talks and the bullsh*t walks.

Great interview. At the beginning Sheed was saying he’s good and no hard feelings now that they’re older but he was getting hot as the interview kept goin and rightfully so. It’s a disgrace what they did but like other have said it’s entertainment and money involved.

I wouldn’t be surprised if this still goes on today. 2 players that come to mind are Boogie and Draymond. They make it so obvious that they don’t fu*k with those 2 for whatever reason and they fall for the bait and get t’d up every time

Kobe and shaq got the most rigged rings

2006 finals and 2010 finals were embarrassing to watch

Where's the clip when the ref called a foul on mj then mj goes up to him and is like I ain't fo nothing and then the ref is like I believe u mike and then takes the foul away?
