Could there yet be another NBA referee scandal to come?
According to former Boston Celtics forward Rasheed Wallace, there very well could be. Using the logic that in the pursuit of success, even billion-dollar corporations resort to unethical practices that eventually come to light, NBA refs may once again follow in the path of infamous league official Tim Donaghy.
Sheed broke down why he thinks the days of ref scandals being over are far from certain simply due to human nature. He did so on a recent episode of the Underdog NBA “Whistleblower” podcast that he hosts with fellow NBAer Bonzi Wells. The recent retirement of referee Eric Lewis over claims of having a burner account and a tendency of favoritism is also discussed.
Check out the clip embedded below to hear what Sheed and Bonzi had to say about the possibility of future ref scandals in the NBA.
