- There's cheating going on in the NBA and the NBA is allowing it. #nba
This NBA reddit post broke the NBA for a day. NBA Commissioner held an emergency meeting 24 hours after reddit user claimed that the Grizzlies scorekeeper was posting fraudelent numbers.
The post has 67k upvotes and got the attention of the NBA and even the betting world. For a brief moment, betting websites didn’t allow any bets for DPOY, which added more fuel to the fire that the post was valid. The numbers are actually pretty crazy, 2.87 stocks (steals + blocks) in road games vs 5.51 in home games. How can a player be 96% more efficient at home?
But before we get to JJJ’s home stats, in January 1997, this got counted as an assist, it was part of Nick Van Exel’s 23 assist game, but several assists didn’t make sense and that’s because the Grizzlies scorekeeper admitted to manipulating the numbers for the Lakers guard, but not for the reason you think.
There’s cheating going on and the NBA is allowing it to happen. I’m going to go through 3 key ways the NBA is helping change up numbers and expose the darker multi billion dollar business behind why they let it happen starting with how stats can be manipulated.
And that’s exactly what happened in 1997. The Lakers are playing the Grizzlies. And point guard Nick Van Exel who averages 8.5 assists went off, dropping assist after assist after, wait how is this an assist?
The scorekeeper admitted to counting extra assists not to help the Lakers, but so that more people would talk about the game and hopefully talk more about the Grizzlies. Even back then, crazy statlines could draw the attention of media. He confessed in an article what he did and how it all works. As the article says he quickly found that a scorekeeper is given broad discretion over two categories: assists and blocks.
An assist “is awarded only if, **in the judgment of the statistician**, the last player’s pass contributed directly to a made basket”.
The way to get a guy extra rebounds is if a shot goes up and someone tips it and someone else recovers it, you can give it to either one. Rodman would get those all the time. He also said balls going out of bounds that should be team rebounds get awarded to a home player in the area. The day he gave 23 assists, he got a good job from the higher ups.
But ok one game, that’s harmless, what could go wrong? (show a chart of Jock Stockton is the all time assists leader, with almost 4,000 more than the next closest person. That’s 30% more assists than the next great point guard. Please. Chris Paul has made this point before “I don’t know who the statisticians was, who used to do the stats in Utah, but ain’t nobody catching that.”
but there’s incentive for incorrectly ruling stats and that’s way #2, stat inflation is leading to views. Do you remember when Westbrook averaged a triple double in 2017 and the attention he got. Well, that kickstarted an age of several players going for triple doubles and total triple doubles per season skyrocketing.
If there was ever a chance to do some Stat padding, the best place to do it is when the rules literally say you can:
Now, assists are rewarded very generously. Generally in the 2000s, an assist was if the shot was taken right after the pass or maybe one dribble into the shot. Of course exceptions existed but that was the standard. Now, you can pass to a player, he can do a whole series of moves, make the shot, and the passing player would get the assist. You know how Nick Van Exel’s BS passes were getting counted as assists? Well that happens on a regular today, especially in the post.
Why would the league allow fake stats? It’s no secret that ratings are slipping in the NBA and fans are getting over going to games and seeing their favorite players in their best fashion outfit on the bench instead of playing in games. Boosted Stats are a great way to get attention. Everyone loves the performance that breaks a record or sets an all time mark. statistics play an important role in determining awards and honors, But the NBA is in bed with gambling, announcing partnerships with FanDuel and Draftkings in 2021 and that’s way #3. Sports betting is no longer the dark underbelly of leagues, these are big revenue generating partnerships that rely on accuracy. Millions are bet daily on things like how many points a player will score or even if AD will get over or under 2 blocks this game? Like I said earlier, the NBA was charging a fee to ensure fairness. I mean Eric Lewis just retired after everyone finding out he was literally a Celtics fan and you could see him getting frustrated when other teams scored against them mid game. Remember this.
The NBA knows how important stats are, but they are letting this slide and that’s what I find a problem with.

What should the NBA do?
Twitter- @MJ2KALLDAY
Have you actually heard about the thing that players play better at their home if it didnt matter then GSW last season wouldnt have such different results in one place us in other one.
Jesus loves you and may God bless you
This channel makes big claims and then backs it up with very little evidence. The stockton part literally had zero examples but we are just supposed to take your word for it?
It was pretty common knowledge that some of Stockton assists were a bit suspect at time.
Facts
Jesus loves you and may God bless you
Correct me if Im wrong, but I think the MJ Wizards clip has been proven to be out of context.
yeah you right. the ref literally called the foul against mj or his teammate i think. the ref was just saying that he believes mj didnt foul, but he already called it and wasnt gonna change it.
Translation, nothing wrong happens with MJ. You're wrong.
@@younglove3362exactly
@@younglove3362Watch the whole clip buddy. The ref was clearly joking around.
I knew it! There were a lot of phantom assists when CP3 was playing for the Clippers.
i remember when nba was good
When I did stats for my basketball team, they said any more than three dribbles and it’s not an assist anymore. Nick earned at least 1 of those😂😂
I HATE NBA
Jesus loves you and may God bless you
Gilbert Arenas said this happens on his Podcast
🤣 They also stat padded for Magic :
Basic entry pass to Kareem, dribble dribble dribble, swings left, swings right, skyhook, assit : Magic
This video must be old because the graphic showing assist leaders was incorrect. LeBron and Cp3 should've been in the 10k for assist but LeBron name wasn't even up there and you had Cp3 at 8673 (active) which is incorrect.
Jokic is having more assist at home simply because his teammates are shooting better at home.
What is that clip of the ref talking to MJ supposed to prove or indicate? It's like how do you ignore the fact the 1. the ref did not call the foul MJ was looking for, that's why MJ was talking to him... and 2. that was Jordan's literal last game in the NBA, the ref was just being friendly, sarcastic, and kinda telling him to shut up. He was being funny because it was literally the last time MJ would play in the NBA. Also, I'm preetty sure he was aware of the microphone on the front of his shirt...But go ahead, see what you want to see there I guess, bias, you got 'em!!!
This mofo is from New York, what do you expect from a crypto bro Knicks fan 😂
Lol at the delusional Jordan fans getting triggered.
I've always said that NUMBERS LIE the eyetest does not
Numbers don't lie, they just tell half the story, especially when they're inflated.
@@younglove3362 numbers can be manipulated especially defensive rebounds and assists therefore, they're a lie half the time
Chris Paul has 11,501 assists so I think it’s possible he can at lest beat Jason Kidds record and John Stockton.
Negative
Those were assist tho 🤦🏾♂️
ik unless im just dumb
Did you even bother watching the video?
9:26 That's not Eric Lweis though
I think it might just be confusion on the viewers part, post plays are tricky to watch because the move can take a while but it still led to a score - so it doesn't look natural and fluid, but it's still the same concept.
The only clip that really got me like wtf was the kobe one
4:22 where is lebron
Also nowadays, we need to know what NBA's favorite team. So we will know who will win championship
not fair doubting John Stockton record, He was true point guard
I guess AI can review those stats of the past soon.
My friend Kobe
0:50 Ayo
people who speak spanish ...😂😂😂
How many Lebron assists are being padded like this
Any leauge that has a partnership in Betting isnt a sport but Entertainment.
I love you MJ but Kasey at AM Hoops posted this video a few months ago my man
I'm commenting fix and another reason why I don't pretend to professional sport is more dirtier than I thought
NBA has little to no integrity
It's a business. What'd you expect? Of it did legitimate work it wouldn't prosper like it is now.
@@younglove3362 Me, and everybody else, expects a sports business to put the integrity of the game over everything else.
Not being a joke is actually GOOD for business, when your business is a professional sports league
Brook was robbed
They should just have an objective standard for assists. In the NHL it is an assist no matter how long after the pass the person scores. As long as they dont lose possession all passes leading into it are tracked. In the NBA people hang onto possession for more time generally so maybe set a dribble limit and EVERY pass that the person then shoots counts as long as its less than that dribble limit. Be it one or two dribbles or whatever. People might complain that this changes the assist metric and you cant compare eras...but you cant even compare building to building RIGHT NOW because it is a made up stat.
Mike was the league they knew Mike was keeping it real
This isn't suprising, its just sad
we all knew this at this point
Why curry KD needed to happen back then.. to challenge the syndicates
Lebum definitely benefited from this! Been saying this for years.
Also MJ and curry
Nobody benefitted as much as Jordan. Jordan himself even feels guilty for exporting it in his favor. I wish you Stan's would stop pretending that he didn't.
@@younglove3362 no one said anything about Jordan bro. Must be your insecurities for being a LeBrick fan or something. But yeah everyone knows Jordan benefited from the league telling the refs to let him shine. They were basically printing money in the 90s when Jordan was dominating.
That’s why they propped up Prince James so much to try to recapture some of that lightning in a bottle. Kobe got hit with a false rape case or it would have been him. So they shit on him and promoted The Chosen Bum instead the same as they did Jordan.

I will stop them!
fix what?
Games, many of them were fixed.
3:05 I don't know much about basketball, but for example in football, this is 100% assist, he assisted / passed to a player who scored. He ran, made a simple but effective pass, he definitely had an impact, and assisted other player to score. I have no idea what is suspicious there
I dont know about basketball, but in nba 2K that would not be counted as an assist.
@@arde5849 Ok, but I still think it is stupid, the guy literally assisted him to score. It does not matter how many dribbles scorer made, or how much time passed after the pass, he still helped / assisted him to score
@@markostankovic7782In basketball an assist is a pass DIRECTLY leading to a score. If the player that scored made an effort to move around and get open to shoot. The passer wouldn’t get an assist because its mostly the scorers effort
@@shrock6629 Thanks for the explanation but I still find the rule stupid, it just makes the things more complicated and takes away the credit for the point from the passer
@@markostankovic7782 every basketball possession has passing in it. If they counted everything as an assist every bucket would be from an assist. The assists stat would lose it valur
Just straight up unsubscribed. You earned it
Nba started rigging there games since Michael Jordan no superstar today or even the early 2000s come close to the special treatment mj was receiving from David Stern in the refs
Nba been rigged before Michael Jordan. Mafia betting and manipulation to get views to generate revenue is always a thing. No corporations are legit for doing under handed stuff. Jordan was the golden goose, of course they're going to benefit him and give him lead way.
More specifically,NBA started rigging games for individual players since Jordan, but rigging for teams started with the 80s Lakers.
Not a coincidence as Stern became the commissioner in 83-84
And yes, to this day, Jordan is still the most ref protected player in the history of basketball
Fix!
Good one MJ! Oh yea, FIX!
Liar. That was not Eric Lewis in 9:30

All day !!!

The NBA is Broken
Always has been.
except few cases, most of this video its a conspiracy theory, you made more stats at home.... maybe because you play in your home!! with your crowd on your court etc...for why most team play better at home
Meh
Triple j is a fraud adams is the best defender and rebounder for the grizzlies
they cheat 4 LBJ all the time
They cheated for Jordan way more.
@@younglove3362 BS
@@kennylynch8575delusional idiot, mj was the nba’s golden child, benefiting the most of anyone ever
Moral of the story....Van Exel would've had 28 assists if it was played today.
