Hahahah GUILTY AF
There’s no fixed games in the league
“This can go 1 of 2 ways, either you retire and we close this case. Or we fuck you five ways from Sunday and then you retire”
lol
Prolly not even his tweets. His likes and bookmarks prolly insanity knowing how X go

Nothing to see here. Move along.
Cover up
The NBA has the sketchiest refs in all of the major sports leagues and it’s not even close.
Let’s not act like the NBA didn’t take care of this in the dark to save face. If it was in their best interest to take care of it in public, they would. Just like they swept Scott Fosters involvement with Tim Donaghy under the rug…
Celtics title window just closed, gotta feel for Boston fans
Nothing screams guilty like retiring before any consequences happen
What’s the back story on this?
LETS FUCKING GOOOOO
Nothing sketchy going on over here
lol, there is no way they could have put this out and expect us to think they didn’t find something. Either way there was no other alternative they aren’t going to say what they found and punish him publically just ends up hurting the reputation the league.
LeHitman
This is shady as fuck. Smells like MJ’s bullshit retirement.
This motherfucker rigging god damn games, I want the Lakers OT loss to the Celtics expunged from the records!
We are watching the birth of one of the stupidest conspiracies that we’ll never hear the end of
Well that’s not shady at all
This is so shady man, makes everyone involved look bad and the league definitely knew it would. So he definitely had bias and they probably found proof and they just knew this would be LESS bad than whats in the report
Lmaoo
Bostons title window has closed
We need LeBron to respond and when he does I hope he uses this emoji 🧐
And here I thought MLB umps were soft as hell when it came to criticism. Using alt accounts to fight with people online, woof
It took all this time for this to happen?
Klutch mafia made the call
Celtics fans lose their strongest soldier. RIP
Tb to when the 6ers had 13 missed calls in game 6, then they put Lewis in for game 7. Sixers lost that series on their own but still.
Upvotes to boycott the first game in liue of accountability?
Known the NBA has been rigged for years now. Of course they just conveniently end the investigation. EXPOSING ANY DETAILS ABOUT THIS WOULD TARNISH THE LEAGUES IMAGE AS A LEGITIMATE SPORT. I found it amazing that people still think the NBA isn’t rigged.
“Retiring”. I hope everything comes out and this dude gets taken down as he rightfully should be.
What exactly was the crime Eric Lewis purportedly did?
Afaik, he tweeted from a burner account, but last time I saw it none of it was hate speech or anything even remotely abrasive, just his opinions on stuff. This seems ridiculous that people are assuming he did more.
No, continue the investigation.
the ESPN and TBS coverage of this story should be hilarious
Hahahaha love that. Him resigning also closes the investigation which helps credibility of NBA refereeing. Fuckin politics
