ESPN Credibility TANKS after NBA Gives LA Clippers DEATH PENALTY

The NBA announced the conclusion of their investigation…into Kawhi Leonard and the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday afternoon. The NBA implemented their version of the death penalty…by essentially crippling the Clippers franchise for the next decade. But there was another loser…in this scandal involving the Los Angeles Clippers.

We discuss ESPN losing credibility…with their recent reporting on the Clippers scandal. We praise Pablo Torre for exposing the NBA…and discuss ESPN attempting to coverup the scandal. We also explain why the biggest loser in this NBA scandal…is the Clippers fanbase.

  12. When skin color or gender become your identity, and not excellence, we shouldn't be surprised when things go to sh**….. just like the neighborhood and public education.

  16. I'm apparently not the target audience for this. I'd heard nothing about it and then suddenly YT headlines all over my feed are screaming "DEATH PENALTY FOR THE CLIPPERS!!!ELEVENTYONE!" And meanwhile I'm going "What're they supposed to have done and to whom?" I guess I've fallen out of the sports mill.

  19. People are making to much of the lost 5 draft picks. Going back to the mid 70’s when have had a decent run of 5 draft picks. Most of the draft picks have either been a bust or suffered from some injury.

  24. SMU’s football record the last 10 years is 80-46 which is a .635 average winning percentage. They are 52-27 (.658) in conference over that time period. I get your point. The SMU “Death Penalty” was brutal on them, but to say they haven’t come back from it to this day isn’t really true either. Look at Nebraska’s record the last 10 years. A once dominant team, no death penalty, and they have arguably been worse than SMU the last 10 years or more. Anyway, just wanted to give that little tidbit of perspective.

  33. If anyone thinks that billionaire Steve Balmer gives a flying F about what Adam Silver says or does, this is just a minor irritation, having his toilet clogged in his 10M home is more of a pain than his NBA team being suspended!

  35. Pete Carroll's USC and The 'U' and Michigan all should have been shut down! Their football programs were involved in cheating and all 3 exceeded what SMU did!

  36. Don’t the San Antonio Spurs look like geniuses now?
    They knew the garbage of Kawhi’s inner circle and cut their losses quickly! They didn’t want to deal with it anymore.

  39. Pablo Torre is STILL INVESTIGATING. Watch his interview with Dan Patrick. Torre should hire security b/c The Tribe uses sports to MONEY LAUNDER their usury of billions of dollars.

  43. Punishment should have been more severe. This "salary cap circumvention" is rampant and will be coming out as Pablo Torre is still on the job. Jalen Brunson and the Knicks are next.

  46. One of these days sports will force Uncle KC to get involved in politics b/c of The Tribe. E.g., Pablo Torre should investigate why the punishment by The Tribe was so light with the punishment and why that lazy Kawhi Leonard, a weak-assed character of a man, gets a slap on the wrist. He should have been suspended and contract voided. Adam Silverstein and the NBAPA cut a deal to avoid arbitration, which has to be Players Union instigated.

  47. The Tribe OWNS AMERICA. ESPN is involved. Why? Because The Tribe owns ESPN and sports media. Pablo Torre should hire security b/c The Tribe uses sports to MONEY LAUNDER their usury of billions of dollars.
