À propos de cet audio

Episode One: The Original Sin Episode One traces gambling's deep roots in basketball, beginning with the devastating college point-shaving scandals of the nineteen fifties and sixties that first exposed the sport's vulnerability to corruption. The episode chronicles how individual players could control outcomes, making basketball uniquely susceptible to manipulation. It explores the gambling culture within NBA locker rooms, high-stakes poker games on team planes, and controversies surrounding Michael Jordan and Charles Barkley. The centerpiece is the two thousand seven Tim Donaghy scandal, when an NBA referee was caught betting on his own games and sharing information with mob-connected bookmakers. His fifteen-month prison sentence should have been a wake-up call, but instead the league buried the problem.
