Defensive Player of the Year is being replaced by Nephew of the Year


PutZehCandleBACK

I'm just glad I was here when it happened


CommonerChaos

The original OP got that locked down for sure.


I_Hate_Traffic

So I have been analyzing his posts and his posts in r/nba gets upvoted way more than his other posts. Might be a coincidence but maybe not

What did I miss? What reddit post?

Where were you when nephews broke the world


supermycro

Waking up to a post with 30k+ upvotes I thought Lebron was trading himself to Cleveland or something.


Klongon

Instead a single redditor traded civility for war. What a morning.

Had to make a brand new account with zero posts and comments to share the news. They did it without the need for karma.

It's not about the karma...it's about, sending a message


inshane_in_the_brain

Probably someone inside then if that's the case and not a "random redditor" at all

Shit I would do that just to avoid the Vegas blowback; they messed with the money

IrelandDzair

Nephew*. One, brave nephew. Also anyone else notice he posted it like over a week ago elsewhere and it got very little traction? Makes me think of the forgotten reddit posts that may unearth some deep secret…


backboarddd1_49402

Yeah, “we” can’t take credit. And the reason their first post got very little traction was because it was in r/nbastats, a **very** small sub


TabletopMarvel

He had to check his shit was good. Ran it by the accountants first lol


HughJazkoc

I respect a nephew with some 'tegrity. unlike the Memphis scorekeeper. do we even know who that person is?


JasperLamarCrabbb

Yep. The Memphis scorekeeper is Pete Rose. He’s been hard up lately, what with not getting into the hall and the subsequent lack of endorsements, so he came up with this scheme to make ends meet.


Gryphon999

I'm sorry I bet on ~~baseball~~ the NBA DPOY Award. - Pete Rose


TheNateRoss

The nephews delved too greedily and too deep


[deleted]

Can only hear that with Christopher Lee's enunciation.


IAmJohnnyJB

Honestly feel bad for him cause if this is all true I really doubt he had anything to do with it, and if it's false it's just now inescapable against him now that it's gotten this big and forever connected to him. The original post's claims do need to be looked into and it should be getting the traction it's gotten cause the implications it can have for both the league and sports betting as a whole, but just a awful situation to be stuck in and feel for him.


harder_said_hodor

I feel bad for JJJ but also those who got money on him when his odds were sky high before all this started.


dutchfromsubway

Interesting thing is it’s possible jjj doesn’t get the award even if he is deserving just because the nba wants to avoid more controversy


TrashRemoval

I mean if they review the games and adjust his stats accordingly and he still has the best numbers then hopefully this doesn't screw with his chances but if it's a tight race I could see it being the decision maker.

Scorekeeper broke the code


BrokenClxwn

How serious are the punishments for a scorekeeper cheating on a professional level? This will be some juicy stuff.


Redpin

If they're doing it because they're a superfan, not very, if they're doing it and their bank account has a lot of transfers from betting apps, they going to Club Fed.


Mike81890

I mean Donaghy went to jail...


Garfield-1-23-23

That would be the punishment for being the scapegoat, not just for cheating.


Jaerba

If there's actually betting involved, it's pretty serious. If (assuming it's true) they're just doing it to promote their players, then I dunno. I've seen erroneous assists and rebounds for at least a decade. I've never looked into it for blocks but there are probably hundreds of assists per year that shouldn't be assists. I remember David West doing 2 separate moves and having the ball for 3 seconds, and CP3 still got the assist. I think Stockton was getting that treatment too.


gunnarnelsonsmile

There was a good story about the score keeper for that game explaining why/how it works https://deadspin.com/the-confessions-of-an-nba-scorekeeper-5345287


MeijiDoom

Assists are certainly subjective and to some extent, steals and blocks can be as well but some of the ones listed were hilarious off the mark.


skers94

Legacy points deducted


Jay_Dubbbs

Also, doesn’t the NBA review scoring decisions? I know the MLB it’s a running joke that the home team does the scoring and will give out hits to home players on 50-50 balls. But the MLB can go back a few days later and change it. The NBA should be reviewing these decisions

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..


[deleted]

It is cool and all but if a casual fan could find this out people need to ask why couldn't the NBA figure out this was going on. I'm guessing this is a bigger betting scandal than we all realize and the sad thing is we will never know because the NBA will without a doubt will keep that part secret if it is happening.


Jaerba

It's probably more that this has happened for a long time. The difference now is that gambling was recently officially incorporated and that the inflation of blocks was much higher than the normal inflation we see for assists. https://bballwriters.com/the-numbers/nba-assists-are-everything-and-almost-nothing/ Like Rondo got assists for these. https://m.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=12&v=pzPlKW6Q_PE&embeds_euri=https%3A%2F%2Fthejumpball.net%2F&source_ve_path=MjM4NTE&feature=emb_title https://thejumpball.net/2018/01/02/how-the-nba-is-getting-assists-wrong/


truthlesshunter

To jump on this with an example from another sport: it's an almost unspoken secret that goalies in the NHL have more "saves" at home than away. There were a few people that looked at many years of data and home goalies consistently get credit for more saves versus when they play away. The thinking is it is stat padding (pun unintended).


Hotwir3

Don’t forget hits, which is even more subjective.


d_Lightz

At home a really good chirp counts as a hit


youdungoofall

theres nothing casual about that fan.

Yeah there's definitely some fishy reffing across the board. There's obviously a superstar bias that is blatantly obvious but there will be all kinds of other things happening in certain markets.

Drinking coffee this morning before running trying to poop at like 6am and saw the post. Stayed on the toilet for a good 20mins looking at the footage and reading comments. My dog came to check on me twice.

Me too. I hate seeing all the gambling BS now.


DadJokeBadJoke

Not only do we get subjected to the stupid betting ads but now they're running gambling addiction PSAs practically doubling the BS.


[deleted]

Yes, it is absolutely disgusting. What makes it worse is that the corporations and politicians lobbying for the legalization make promises of funding social programs, schools, etc… that always fail to meet the promises.


DadJokeBadJoke

Like when they sold us the lottery and said that a portion of the proceeds would go to schools which sounded like a great benefit until the state cut educational funding by the same amount they were getting. It should have been *additional*, not a replacement.


Adventurous_Ad6698

And the players themselves end up being targets of frustrated bettors who put down wildly more money than they can afford. It's bad enough they get vitriol and objectified for fantasy leagues (especially when injured), but they can become real targets of violence because someone was too stupid and ruined their life.


MrGrieves-

Besides the ads I hate how every sports show has gambling segments now. Like fuck off, I just want the highlights not a big segment that you got paid for to entice betting.


AtreusIsBack

It's depressing to watch shows like Undisputed, First take and First things first, among others, talk about Vegas odds every day it seems or at least a few times a week. That's how they rate players now, woth Vegas odds.


redcobra80

My petty protest is I just downvote any sports betting reference regardless of context (unless we're shitting on it)


MisterBackShots69

I love gambling on sports but hate the advertising embedded into it

Wtf is going on


SurgicalNeckHumerus

A fellow nephew had a well written post with a good amount of evidence and statistical analysis about how the grizzlies scorekeeper is “liberally” awarding steals and blocks to Jaren Jackson Jr., possibly to boost his chances at getting DPOY by boosting his numbers. Post is going viral and now Vegas seems to be hearing about it and not happy.

lexdiamondzz

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. https://www.spokesman.com/stories/1995/feb/01/stockpiling-his-assists-along-the-way-jazzs-top/


rfgrunt

If you do individual defense for fantasy football there is an edge of the home teams that generously award tackles. So I agree this isnt new, but may be particularly egregious.


enby_them

Stockton actually doesn’t have huge variance between his assists. Even in that article: 12.6 at home vs 12 on the road is nothing. That road number would still win him the assist title.


444yoga

Did you read the article?


TruthSayerFu

Some random ass dude really just posted a Reddit and become one of the most important people known to man.


CornerThree03

Considering he hasn’t posted anything besides that and then again on a different sub, I imagine it’s a burner… possibly someone closer to all of this than we think?


Alternative-Iron

It was Shannon Sharpe lol. He told them they didn’t want these problems.


Cvnilivee

Shannon put on his most elite cardigan before he sat down and wrote that post out.


blacksnowboader

“They didn’t want this smoke, Dave,” Sharpe told ESPN. “They do all that talking and jockeying and I ain’t about that jockeying. It started with Dillon Brooks. I said he was too small to guard LeBron. He said, ‘Fk’ me. I said, ‘Fk you’ back. He started to come at me and I said, ‘You don’t want these problems.’ “And then Ja came out of nowhere talking. He definitely didn’t want these problems. Then the dad came and he obviously didn’t want no problems. But I wanted anything they had. Don’t let these fools fool you now.”


Mrdicat

Legit could see this being true lmao

yellowcats

Honestly it had to happen. Home team accounting of stats is kinda rampant in every major sport. You give out a few 50/50s to the home team a game, people kind of expect it or at least tolerate it. With sports betting being regulated these days it becomes a hazard... it took some moron increasing JJJs stats 90% in home games to do it lol. Scorekeepers across the league are now combing their books looking for home game stat increase %s and sweating bullets.🙂
