They definitely found out he was rigging games for the Celtics. Laker fans need to use this mob mentality to out all the corrupt refs, not just the ones that go against them lol

Yikes that’s one way to end an investigation, just peace out of there. Curious to see if we ever see leaks surrounding the initial investigation. My thoughts are he was uncooperative and immediately retired before more could be made of it.
Ugh I need a good scandal off-season sucks.
MrAppleSpoink
Good riddance, game rigging POS.

“Retirement” dude was forced out
PlatosLeftTit
In Eric Lewis reffed playoff games the Celtics are 12 and 2 and the Heat are 4 and 7
Remember when one player retired in the middle of an investigation as well
reavesforthree
I just won the fucking championship.

So basically they had an agreement that they wouldn’t release the report if he retired… disgusting from the NBA

I need an independent investigation into what the league found yesterday
HeJind
So the league with a history of rigging games this century let’s a referee retire while being investigated, thus concluding the investigation?
NBA is an actual joke.
TrollyMcTrollerFace9
I’m confused what did he do? I’m out of loop
xpillindaass
great league
AccomplishedFront563
Yeah just show this to anyone who thinks it’s impossible to rig games in the modern NBA
Marapa96
This is embarassing from the nba agreeing to end the investigation if he retires behind the doors, just goes to show that they found some concerning shit
Shingorillaz
The ghost of Stern popped out and said retire or join me in my coffin.
Muted_Dog7317
Yet r/nba was adamant he did nothing wrong and the investigation wouldn’t amount to anything
ttam23
LOL nba doesn’t want to expose the games being rigged

The tweets were just him talking smack about some NBA players right? I guess you have to appear 100% impartial as a ref. Though not sure if he’s different from any other ref, unless he was trying to rig games.

This is definitely a “you can’t impeach me if I resign!” Nixon move
CottonCitySlim
Did people forget he was suspended for having a burner account to argue with fans? He wasn’t rigging games that’s we know of.
HoustonSportsFan
So yeah, they definitely found some shit. I can’t believe Lakers fans were right the whole time about this dude

Congressional involvement, please. If you’re going to allow gambling to be legal, then you have a responsibility to your constituents to at the very least attempt to make it fair.

Is this the guy who plays for the Celtics?

Concluding investigation because he retired makes no sense

NBA doesn’t want the discovery of what the Lewis family has bet on

You have to be delusional if you think Tim Donaghy was a lone wolf.
I_notice_patterns
The Celtics were 12-2 in Playoff games that he officiated, lmao

Celtics had a die hard fan reffing their games for years & still don’t have a ring to show for it💀

Way to sweep it under the rug

Investigation wasn’t “concluded” it was “dropped.” There are no public conclusions.
