Shaq adds to the story of 'NBA is rigged' fuel

1. Hot after the NBA lottery of the NBA draft of the past week inflamed speculation that the league is “manipulated” thanks to the Dallas Mavericks after it has only received a 1.8% chance.

O'Neal remembered his own experiences when he was collected by Orlando Magic in 1992 with No. 1 selection, and made it clear that there was a fun business.

“In 1992 the design was in June or something,” said O'Neal. “I meet Mr. [David] Stern in March. He says to me: “I can't wait for you to come to the NBA.” Then he put me aside: 'You want to play where it is cold or where it is hot?' He asked me that. And I said “hot”. And he smiled and I smiled and then they had the draft with the three best things a few days later and Minnesota was No. 3. And then Charlotte No. 2 and Orlando, Florida, was No. 1.

“I haven't thought about it, but you hear many of these conspiracy theories and there are many situations that can make these things well and sound.

2. Since it looks as if everyone is necessary to weigh this, I have no idea how this is an open foul for Caitlin Clark. None at all.

3. Just because they pay someone 765 million US dollars does not mean that they heal. That was really, very bad by Juan Soto on Sunday evening of Juan Soto.

4. Just a terrible attitude of Nugget's striker Aaron Gordon, who, after the Nuggets were excluded from thunder on Sunday, said that the teams have several days between the playoff games.

First, this does not help the narrative that today's players are so much softer than in the 80s and 90s. Second, the NBA playoffs have been taking a million years. Would you like the season to end in mid -July? Third, it is only stunning that a player would complain that he needs more than a day in peace given the money he earns.

5. The price for tickets for sporting events was insulting a long time ago, so this is nothing new. But what I can't understand is more than anything else the risk of giving all the money to watch how your team loses. I would hand over the whole MSG if I spent $ 700 for a ticket and then lost the kinks.

6. The latest episode of Si Media with Jimmy Traina Teaches a conversation with the ESPN legend Chris Berman.
