This is getting crazy. So many implications. Wonder how this will be addressed.

WOOOAAAAAH That solidifies the legitimacy of this post. No reason they’d do it otherwise. HOLY FUCK
Where were you when nephews broke the world
Scorekeeper broke the code
It’s Clax szn
Wtf is going on
What r/conspiracy r/conservative want to be
Remember how excited this sub got after that post got a LeBron assist revoked? lol
Never underestimate us nephews.
Who’s your dream cast for the eventual Hollywood movie
The OG we did it Boston bombing post may still retain that distinction
The Marcus Smart 2x DPOY campaign starts now
THEY DIDNT BELIEVE IN US

We did it reddit!
Some random ass dude really just posted a Reddit and become one of the most important people known to man.
NEPHEWS RISE UP
Wait. Please update me. What is going on?
this gettin juicy
The CollarGate of Reddit
First reddit breaks Wall Street and now the NBA award race. We came along way guys. And we came good. We came a lot.
wait can someone explain what happened
Is anything even real?
I was here
Cool. Get the NBA to fix Assist recording too.
Imagine this poor dude was just a Grizzlies superfan and he brought Vegas odds on this down lol.
Damn if it’s already happening at Caesar’s its gonna be pulled from board across the country I’m no time. NBA will have to address this asap. Pretty wild to see, but it’s awesome that a sports fan can just casually notice these issues call em out and cause it to be fixed. Too bad that doesn’t happen with actual societal problems eh..
[Here’s the post for the curious](https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/10nbau4/memphis_grizzlies_scorekeeper_posting_fraudulent/)
Shannon about to have a field day on Monday!!!
I’m willing to bet all of this would have never happened if they didn’t mess with Shannon Sharpe 😂
Even if it was all bs I’m always down to hurt the relationship between pro sports and gambling
I can’t wait for all the scandals sports betting will bring
reddit CAN change the world mom
What this tells me more than anything is that DPotY voting is based more on stats than on actually watching games. There’s far, far more to defense than blocks and steals. Hell, a good contest and a defensive rebound is often more useful than a hellacious block where the opposing team retains possession. This explains a lot about why rim protectors keep winning DPotY over much, much more deserving players though. Rim protectors will always put up the most stats, but it doesn’t make them the best defensive players, they just have the most opportunities to accrue counting stats.
Keep this in mind when arguing over MVP and other awards. It’s clear that voters aren’t even watching games.
This has been a thing for years. I wonder what other anomalies exist. I first heard about Stockton’s generous assist numbers at Home from a Bill Simmons podcast. Now the public is more aware and Vegas has a slight disadvantage at taking your money.

Payton said the home teams do this and have been doing it for years. Stockton and his stats. GP said they upped his steals in home games.
This Escalated Quickly….I mean the Score keeper need to stay off the grid….
