Pathetic. The NBA just hides and covers up any lies and prohibited behavior from its fans. Of course they ended their investigation, but with a conclusion, and that's why he retired.

Absolutely spot on. This is a worse look than him having burner accounts.

Adam silver: retire and we conclude the investigation. It would make us less suspicious

Sad sad day not just for the NBA but the entire world's sports. The best referee to have ever existed just retired.
