Bill Burr Says NBA Is Rigged

[Chessboxer]

He was on Jimmy Kimmel, and runs through how a typical game is officiated and how the refs have too much power. I know he is just a comedian but it was very entertaining.

Lock thread

Pointless thread (tho I love bill burr lol)


Its not the first time he said this lol, he said it MANY times over the years. But more podcasts then national talk show I guess.


He is an absolute treasure

This is not thread worthy.

He is an absolute treasure

WHy is that, I dont get his appeal. I liked him in Mandalorian and hes agood guy, but as a comedian or talk show guest he is not funny to me at all. Conan fans always say he is top 5 Conan guest ever, but to me he is near the bottom, very unentertaining person when hes not in Star wars,

No one cares about Bill Burrs acting, thats just **** he does on the side out of boredom. Its all about the stand ups, he is a brilliant stand up comedian. Not sure how to explain it other then just watch his stand ups. If he is not for you, he is not for you.

I think the NFL for sure follows a script. The NBA is not set up like the NFL and WWE from a filing standpoint. I also believe the NFL 200 percent profit shares.

I know that hes not an actor, when he was casted, I hated that fact, I mean Bill Burr is star wars, what is this... but surprisingly, his character in Mandalorian was very good, its the only time I like Bill Burr as entertainer.

Bill Burr says a lot of things.

[gusman]

And also, the truth in something is something that is often the funniest thing to joke about.

[tdotrep2]

listen to what he says, something ive been saying for a while now. the nba is 40% wwe. team goes up by 20... other teams gets calls. what is that? the nba has the refs reffing the game for ratings and building superstars, its a business model. the game is not clean in any way, we are not watching a clean sport here.

[CS707]

Betcha he'd celebrate the Celtics winning the title all the same.

[SFour]

I agree with him....refs have a lot of control on the momentum of a game...a single non-call can have a huge effect on the outcome of a game if timed correctly.

I wouldn't call it "rigged" though....can't use that word otherwise people act like we're talking about the Italian mafia controlling the NBA

Bill Burr also owns a helicopter for when the zombies come…

if anyones rigging the games, it would be the players. terrance williams and glen davis would have made that the scam instead of health insurance

[ken6199]

So what? If it's rigged it's rigged. Treat it as entertainment/business rather than your whole life depends on it the earlier you accept that the easier your life becomes. The team you support keeps going to the finals does not mean you are seen as a better poster on the internet than someone who supports Sacramento Kings.

Losing sleep over an internet argument "is Steph a top 10 player", or getting agitated on some random guy on the internet you don't know claiming Iguodala fully deserved his FMVP over Steph, you are just not making your life easier. Sports is not supposed to do such damage to your life. It should make it better.
