NLSC Your source for basketball video games.
From courtside of the virtual hardwood, it’s Episode #584 of the NLSC Podcast!
Unfortunately, controversy is overshadowing the action of the 2025 NBA Finals following Game 4, which leads us to ask: is the NBA rigged? This week, we join the community in discussing our thoughts on this decades-old question, and to what extent the league may manipulate results, both today and in previous eras. We also discuss how talking heads – particularly Stephen A. Smith and Kendrick Perkins – are finding ways to make themselves the stars of the NBA Finals instead of the players who are actually competing in them. From coverage of the sport to the integrity of the officiating, we’re seeing a showcase of some of the most frustrating aspects of basketball in today’s era.
