Ep 1144 Jason Whitlock FIXES Adam Silver's NBA Lottery & BLASTS NCAA Tourney Expansion

Jason argues that both the new proposal for the NBA's anti-tanking rules and the expansion of the NCAA Tournament will lead to the elimination of consequences. NBA Commissioner Adam Silver fails to recognize that the NBA Draft Lottery does not impose genuine consequences on teams. Jason suggests implementing penalties for teams that do not make the playoffs, such as fining the team owner, team president, general manager, head coach, and assistant coaches. Steve Kim joins the discussion to talk about the decline of the NBA and the implications of the NCAA Tournament changes. They also cover several other topics, including whether LeBron James and the Lakers will eliminate the Rockets tonight, Shaq's embrace of Victor Wembanyama, and reports that Mike Tomlin could replace Mike Vrabel in New England. Finally, Danny Kanell joins the show to discuss Brendan Sorsby's gambling controversy, the NCAA's tournament expansion, and reactions to the NFL Draft. ​​Today's Sponsors: Animal Farm Animal Farm is a bold animated adaptation of George Orwell’s classic tale.
