Episode 16 - The NBA's Tanking Problem & Future
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
The National Basketball Association has been dealing with a big problem for some time - tanking. A good number of its teams do not want to win in order to maximize their chances of landing a top draft pick. Evan discusses this issue from the perspective of a very casual sports fan, and also provides commentary on other areas the league should address to make basketball a more compelling sport to watch.
