NFL tanking is a front office phenomenon, not an on field phenomenon.

I will say that the NBA lottery has been so obviously corrupt for years that it is disgraceful.

Somebody posted a pretty good summary of that a while ago. I'll have to see if I can find it.

Yeah, the lottery in concept is a good idea to prevent tanking. In reality, it's created a lot of controversy for the NBA because of the perception of rigging the system for outcomes desirable for the league.

[Lame Duck]

Don’t give Goodell any ideas… Eagles and Chiefs will win lotteries every year.

Say no to the lottery. If you believe the NFL will sway a game (2013 Panthers vs. 49ers) then the lottery would NEVER go our way.

Yeah NBA could do the result live and on screen if they wanted to but they'd rather have guys go where they want

Exactly. Let them keep their crap product.

To be fair, the NBA is built on an extremely solid foundation. The NFL's foundation is built on sand.

[CRA]

there is a reason the NFL is more successful than the NBA and there is a reason they easily stole holiday games from them.  The NFL model works better of making every team relevant essentially all the time.  

and that lottery is crooked.  Can't convince me they don't rig it to aid certain teams/markets where it matters.

When the Pelicans were temporarily owned by the NBA in 2019, they had a 6% chance of winning the lottery.  Remarkably, obviously an act of diving intervention, they won the lottery.  This increased the value of the Pelicans.

thats the bizarre part of this, if they wanted a show and not have conspiracy theorist raging today, why not simply show the balls being loaded into the tank and then have a 3rd party pull the balls?  They bring this poo on themselves.  The number floating today was .01% of what that outcome was last night.  Thats fuging bullshit.
