    Default NBA really are the feds.




    Go to the 17 minute mark. Tony Allen tells a story about what the GM asked him before he could sign in Memphis.

    Not only did he know he had players with a teenage gang backgrounds he knew the specific factions they were part of within the same kind of gang.

    Can you imagine the stories the NBA investigators could tell?

    That’s the show I want produced. The life of the sports background checker who knows who to call to find the gang affiliation somebody had when they were 19 And see if it’s in conflict with anybody else. And not like Tony Allen was some superstar or big name at the time. He was just a good young player. Imagine the folder they must have on somebody like Ja Morant or Zion who you might make the face of the franchise? I’m sure the NBA knows a lot of these problems they always pretend to be caught off guard with.

    Vernon Maxwell didn’t realize the Spurs had someone following him around.

    With all the investigators and ex Fed goons they have I’m surprised it took the NBA so long to catch on to that big healthcare scam the players had going on.




    everybody snitched in the end except for maybe big baby Davis. He’s going to jail for five years. If he snitched and that’s the reduced time he got I don’t know what the hell he was up to. Miles pled guilty and supposedly cooperated so he only got three years probation.

    Those idiots weren’t happy with just the fraud. They made a fake email address pretending to be the NBA and sent emails to one of the doctors they were using to run the deal. Left a paper trail of emails and texts. They were just begging to get caught.

    Darius Miles especially should’ve known the NBA would catch on. I’m pretty sure he’s one of the people they had watched when he was young in the league.

    When you're investing hundreds of millions of dollars into some body the HR game has to be on max. Even for nobodies like myself or others to get a simple 9-5 we have to pass a ton of background checks and investigation.

    My stepfather was an electrician for a company that did work in nuclear plants out west in the 80s and the background check people actually looked into us as well. And I get it. You can’t just…go work near a nuclear reactor without them knowing all about you. I bet if they find a Quran post like in your Twitter history these days they cut you off.

    But something like that is government backed.

    Id be annoyed the nba had access to whatever government files tells you which faction of GDs I may have been affiliated with in 1998. Not like the Grizzlies sent someone to ask locals which gangs people were in. I don’t remember what I was watching, but I saw a thing about sports leagues and especially the NFL having ex-police and FBI on staff for those connections.

    They get shit the public isn’t really supposed to have access to.

    Current Mavericks front office figure caught at least one known body when he was in HS in the western chicago burbs.

    EVERY 40-something gangbanger on the west side and close western burbs like Maywood / Bellwood / etc knows about Fin’s past.

    This. I have to divulge my wife's entire investment portfolio for compliance with my job and CFA. It's crazy how we normal people get policed vs the ultra rich.
