This isn’t a Chris Paul vs Scott Foster issue. This is a league integrity issue. You cannot have a referee with a personal agenda on the floor. Period.
Whatever Adam Silver’s apprehension is with holding these refs accountable, who the fans couldn’t care less and and who they aren’t spend their hard money to come see, meanwhile, they’re the ones giving technical files and ejecting star players, because of feelings. Adam Silver needs to be called out by someone with a big enough voice who won’t get any consequences from doing so…
Scott Foster was in on the game rigging/gambling/placing insider bets on games back when the other guy was thrown under the bus by the league, but many other refs were doing it, too, and Scott Foster along with others are still doing it.
The problem is that if the NBA takes Scott Foster off Chris Paul games then they basically acknowledge that he's targeting CP3 and then them not firing him becomes an even bigger scandal. They keep Foster to pretend that it's not an issue hoping that CP3 retires before it becomes a big enough issue
You fail to mention that this is something they already did previously because of this exact same issue. The problem now is they let Foster do a game with him during the Finals and have kept letting him since.
@@apoetpicker I think the difference is that Scott Foster isn't the quietly retiring type, he's been in the league long enough that he can probably spill some dirt if he feels like he's being wronged
No, the league keeps Foster because he's one of the league fix masters...like Crawford, Donaghy, et al. before him...he's the guy they can trust to influence the game, when the league wants a certain result, or a certain team to win...and now with the league gambling partnership, they have even more financial incentive to keep a fix master (or two, or three) on the payroll among the referees....that's why Foster can openly brag about fixing all his games against CP3...because he knows he WON'T get fired...the NBA needs Foster, they are complicit with him, and can't fire him...b/c if they do, he'll write a tell-all book like Donaghy, revealing their complicity and embarrassing the league further
@@El_TigreNegroLet him. There is not a single fan who gives a flying fuck what he has to say. If he came out and said that the NBA screwed him over in some way, nobody would care. If he said the NBA was rigged, fans would say “well yea you made it obvious” If Scott Foster released CCTV footage of Chris Paul personally breaking into his house at night and beating Scott’s wife over the head with a baseball bat, nobody would bat an eye. Its like the bully who gets put in the hospital after a fight. Like yea its fucked up I guess… but he had it coming and nobody feels sorry. When you carry yourself like an asshole, and you treat others like assholes, expect others to think of you and treat you as an asshole. End of story.
Same shit happen last year with that Celtics referee they were like 20-2 with him, later on he got caught saying good stuff about the Celtics on Twitter and a investigation began and the guy suddenly retired
Eric Lewis😂 As a sixers fan, there is a meme that the NBA favors Boston and LA above everyone else. When you look at the stats….. they tend to agree. It starts with Foster, but its bigger that him too.
It's kinda sad CP3 had to be on a well-liked team just for people to finally address this issue. This has been going on for several years but because he was on the Suns, Rockets, and Clippers, no one gave a crap about it and made fun of him losing games officiated by Foster.
Key thing to point out here for those that missed it. That tip that Gil dropped in this clip about names. Knowing peoples names when you are NOT required to learn them is HUGE for building bridges with people. It is a very small gesture that goes a VERY long way. & this is applicable to everything. Even if you have no intentions of building bridges, it is still a very good habit to develop.
Stop the cap! The suns weren’t four point favorites going into game 6 where it’s played in Milwaukee. Suns literally lost 3 in a row and they’re favorites by 4? Foh with that bullshit
What evidence? Do you have any evidence he’s making calls he shouldn’t be? Have you gone back and watched the footage of those games to make sure they were refereed legitimately? No? Then what evidence are you talking about? Chris Paul is known to be disliked by many, many people around the NBA. Not just Scott foster.
Some of these reffs 100% have dirt on the NBA and they can't get rid of them. That's why they not just ref the games, but they get a lot of high profile games too
If I was CP3 I would feel some type of way about his whole career, think about it. 1-the league denied his trade to be on the Lakers with Kobe 2-dudes got a beef with a ref (so unprofessional on the league) 3-played for the Clippers with a super racist owner (a big fiasco) Seems like his whole career is overshadowed by forces outside of his control 😢
They aren’t going to terminate Scott Foster because he knows all the dirt on the NBA. Man was right there with Donaghy rigging games. If they fire Scott he’s liable to spill all the beans and ruin the integrity of the NBA. They can’t risk that. And that’s why Scott gets away with murder.
With any multi billion dollar industry, you can almost guarantee there are gatekeepers who will manipulate situations. People who have power and wealth will do almost anything to maintain it. History supports this.
Having a referee, with a personal agenda, officiate a game and eject players with impunity is disgusting. If the NBA is concerned with optics and how it looks if they stop Foster from officiating CP3's games. They should also think about the integrity of the game.
@@ThorGodofThunder420I watched that game. Warriors cannot touch Sacramento even slightly coz it would be an automatic foul. There were an obvious calls and missed calls like Fox’s drive to Dario which Fox was the one who initiated the contact, the non foul call on Looney under the rim, and more of which was very obvious. That was a sellout.
When Sheed and Bonzi interviewed Donaghey about the fixing on their youtube interview with him. Donaghey was on zoom and He admitted he fucked them over and called bs fouls at times because sheeds reputation that looking back was wrong and sheed was so mad that he cost him millions Bonzi if he could’ve knocked him out he would’ve The league won’t fix this because then they would have to admit they knew and allowed it to happen
The players could end this in one game by refusing to leave the locker room when Scott Foster is officiating. The NBA could try to throw out fines, but it's hard for them to take a side against the players, teams, and fans for the sake of a corrupt ref. The fact that the NBA keeps protecting him leads one to believe that he must have a lot of dirt on the league.
First off they would all lose a game check and then be fined on top of that. League would NEVER allow it. If they did allow it, what's to stop teams from not coming out for any game unless they have their preferred officials? You can't negotiate with unreasonable people.
@@bobbybrush7185 If the players don't do it, then what's to stop the NBA from using Scott Foster to rig games? What's to stop Scott Foster from using his position to act out a personal vendetta against players he doesn't like? What's to stop Scott Foster from harassing children? Because, right now, there's NOTHING stopping Scott Foster and the NBA from doing any of this. But, as for my suggestion... What's to stop them? Fines from the league. Losing fans. Personal pride. And on and on. The players have every reason to go out there and play, EXCEPT when there's a dirty ref. And the fans know he's a dirty ref. The bookies know he's a dirty ref. EVERYONE knows Scott Foster is a dirty ref. EVERYONE. And if players take a stand, the fans will stand with them, because the fans don't like rigged games, either.
The fact that this even goes back to Tim Donaghy back during the Kings/Lakers 2002 Western Confernce finals is testiment to there being a league integrity issue....
CP3’s teams are 3-17 (.150 win percentage) in the playoffs when Foster officiates (since 2007). CP3’s squads are 73-56 (.565 win percentage) in the playoffs without Foster as a ref.
I, as an european, don't understand how the refs in the NBA have so much "power" and lack of accountability. Over here, when refs mess up in important moments in football, they get "crucified" by the media, fans, players, coaches, teams, etc. They're given scores for their performance after each game, if the score is too low, they won't ref the next weekend. NBA refs just seem to get away with everything.
The NBA is “entertainment” disguised as a sport. It’s rigged to bring in as much money as possible. They like seeing more popular teams make it deeper in the playoffs because that means more views from fans. The refs help the league make sure that the most popular teams like the lakers and warriors perform better because it brings in more money. It’s also why they now allow traveling and carrying because it makes it easier to score. A lot of viewers find high scoring games more interesting (i personally don’t and despise the blatant violations that are rarely called). The NBA is a business that sacrifices the integrity of the game for capital.
As a half European I attest America is just a shit show!! To my knowledge or lack of knowledge this was big in the early 2000 series against the late Kobe and the Kings
It isnt that he shouldnt ref CP3 games, he shouldnt ref at all because he's shown he isnt an unbiased official. There's nothing to say that he doesn't have biases against other players or will develop biases against players.
Scott Foster is called the equalizer in playoff games the fact that his nickname is very very concerning. He should definitely be investigated or fired.
The funny thing about this is we are talking about a star player who is a future hall of famer that people pay to see against a referee that people only know because he is always tied to something negative. There shouldn't even be a question of whether he should be fired or not because he is hurting the league more than helping.
An external audit group needs to go and come in and put the referee’s on blast. And see how things are run. This is ridiculous, I know it is entertainment but this is a circus!
This happens in every sports, because controversy sells, and more people tune in to watch the game. Just that it is being mentioned here and other podcast shows that it is working and the NBA is getting free publicity.
@DiceGame912 It happens in Baseball, Football, and any other sport....evil against good....people eat it up and continue to watch it...I am not saying it is right, but I do think that sports league do it because it makes things more interesting and the more people talk about one thing, the more popular that sport will become....look at what one porn video did for the Cardashians.
I don't think it's because controversy sells. It's betting, the amount of money involved is astronomical. They might create controversy as a distraction, but betting influences all the big sports.
Whatever Adam Silver’s apprehension is against holding these refs accountable, who the fans couldn’t care less about and who they aren’t spending their hard-earned money to come see meanwhile they’re the ones calling technical fouls and ejecting star player because of feelings. Silver needs to be called out by someone with a big enough voice who won’t get any consequences from doing so. It’s like the referees have his nuts in their hand…
They not playing in the NBA no more and CP know that. He might as well wait till his last year and steal off. He ain’t gon wanna end his career like that tho.
The refs were like this with David stern as well. There has to be support at the top from behind the scenes. Tweaking and controlling the games. Big money is made and we the fans are usually the last to know. I remembered watching games where the shot clock was delayed giving the home team extra seconds after the ball was inbounded
Scott is the leagues ref. There’s some refs that’s just out there to ref the games and then there’s some refs that’s employed by the league to “ref the games.” Same reason the league acted all funny with Donaghy when he got caught up..because they knew what he was doing because they encouraged it
This is exactly what happened with the 2006 finals. The refs absolutely dictated that series after Miami was down 2-0. The remainder of the series, D Wade shot more free throws than the entire Mavs team combined. All he had to do was look at the rim and he was going to the line
@@LeetraviusMcKay-q6mthe league sent in the fix on the 2011 series too. How does Lebron forget how to play basketball after going up 2-1 in the finals 🤔
that Bucks game raised a point and point and half at most books in Vegas lol, that’s gonna happen for most games now that the volume of betting has increased
Gilbert yet again speaking more knowledge than other pundits out there!!!!! You seriously need a televised show, the positions you take is really unmatched
Some teams have to win with 20 to really win, and other teams like Lakers will get 50+ free trows. The way players come into the league some players will never get a chance. They cant choose where they play and that place is a good fit. Refs are terrible and with video there should not be this many mistakes. Players will more often be ejected to rest:) There is so many red flags in the league. The way teams that do well, is puniqhed for finding players in draft and develope them like the league want...then the salary is from league pushed up very fast and the players drafted is suddently hard to keep. Those teams like nuggets, warriors...will struggle to keep players and Even if they have the money to pay. Salary cap.
i think 2 things are rigged in the league, i think the refs will try and change outcomes sometimes, biggest recent example is in the finals heat vs nuggets when jimmy stuck his foot out and kicked aaron gordon in the nuts on the 3 point line and was given a fould and shot 3 free throws to try and extend the series, and the draft i think certain drafts are rigged, bron draft, drose draft, wemby draft, ewing draft
Like I said before, refs are the reason I lost interest in the NBA. They literally can change the outcome of a game whenever they wanted to. Not to mention how softer and softer they keep making the NBA. Doubt he WNBA is this soft.
This is the best sports show period. Not afraid to hold the NBA accountable. They never gonna get league sponsored lol but they gonna get the real fans regardless.
The funny thing about Gil lie is that it is easy to look up. The Bucks were at home and a five point favorite in game 6. The bucks had won 3 in a row, why would the suns be the favorite by 4?? Keep on spreading them lies tho G
I've been saying it for years. I was in College in 03'. The Twolves came to play the Warriors. They praticed at USF. I got a chance to talk to Garnett, Spree and Cassell. I flatly asked them how much politics played a role in the league. "I won't even play with you little nigga. It's all a dance." Sam Cassell Take that as you will. EDIT: Spree smashed the entire womens tennis team supposedly. Legend.
This is crazy, these rogue refs need to go. There have been too many games decided by refs. This is why gambling should be outlawed/banned. Remember gambling can be an addiction, that can become uncontrollable.
Referee should be impartial and without agenda. Look at them like Judges. Theres an issue if ref has a personal agenda with the player like Scott Foster has with Paul.
How about the player being less emotional? Why does the ref have to be the grownup? Rasheed, CP3, Cousins, and Draymond bitch and moan over EVERY call even when they know they're wrong. Refs are human, just like the players.
No ones gonna talk about how unethical having refs out there is unethical period. I been saying it for the NBA and NFL to just get rid of refs and replace it with tech. Everything can be reviewed in todays game, there shouldnt be any wrong calls. Take them out the game bc at the end of the day , we dont watch for the refs.
This isn’t a Chris Paul vs Scott Foster issue. This is a league integrity issue. You cannot have a referee with a personal agenda on the floor. Period.

Thank you for the unfiltered explanation. Subbed you guys because you different.
This happens in every sports, because controversy sells, and more people tune in to watch the game. Just that it is being mentioned here and other podcast shows that it is working and the NBA is getting free publicity.
Ya but you can look at it the other way. By them showing more light on it maybe the NBA would possibly do something🤷🏽♂️
@DiceGame912Ong homie is lost af
@DiceGame912 It happens in Baseball, Football, and any other sport....evil against good....people eat it up and continue to watch it...I am not saying it is right, but I do think that sports league do it because it makes things more interesting and the more people talk about one thing, the more popular that sport will become....look at what one porn video did for the Cardashians.
I don't think it's because controversy sells. It's betting, the amount of money involved is astronomical. They might create controversy as a distraction, but betting influences all the big sports.
@DiceGame912like idk what he talking about
This gotta be the realest group of former players 💪🏾, as many episodes as I’ve seen, haven’t heard one lie or bias told about anything. 💯
If Scott would’ve said that to bronny he would’ve been gone 😂
Whatever Adam Silver’s apprehension is against holding these refs accountable, who the fans couldn’t care less about and who they aren’t spending their hard-earned money to come see meanwhile they’re the ones calling technical fouls and ejecting star player because of feelings. Silver needs to be called out by someone with a big enough voice who won’t get any consequences from doing so. It’s like the referees have his nuts in their hand…
Magic got seven games for bumping a ref. Can't even imagine the fine and suspension for choking a MF. 😄
They not playing in the NBA no more and CP know that. He might as well wait till his last year and steal off. He ain’t gon wanna end his career like that tho.
The refs were like this with David stern as well. There has to be support at the top from behind the scenes. Tweaking and controlling the games. Big money is made and we the fans are usually the last to know. I remembered watching games where the shot clock was delayed giving the home team extra seconds after the ball was inbounded
Scott is the leagues ref. There’s some refs that’s just out there to ref the games and then there’s some refs that’s employed by the league to “ref the games.” Same reason the league acted all funny with Donaghy when he got caught up..because they knew what he was doing because they encouraged it
13:44 🤔Wasn’t Rashad the same one that said only the star player can be the leader of the team?
gil switched up his story when he heard the real line haha
13:45…did he just inadvertently admit that Miko was right, that you can be a leader and not be the best player? 🤨🤔
Shhhhhh 😂
I rarely agree with McCants but i completely agree that Foster should not be officiating ANY NBA GAMES
This is exactly what happened with the 2006 finals. The refs absolutely dictated that series after Miami was down 2-0. The remainder of the series, D Wade shot more free throws than the entire Mavs team combined. All he had to do was look at the rim and he was going to the line
And Dirk got his revenge in the 2011 Finals and that was even sweeter
@@LeetraviusMcKay-q6mthe league sent in the fix on the 2011 series too. How does Lebron forget how to play basketball after going up 2-1 in the finals 🤔
@@iamjamesmeeksit’s all part of the script bro
@@iamjamesmeeksall of this is facts !!!
Lmao go watch those games, he was getting fouled. You were just mad about it.
Underdog!!! Team Work!! Circling
When something keeps happen then its safe to say its by design. Foster just doing what the NBA want him to do. Its like WWE now
Foster has a sponsorship with MGM & Caesars
I wish I’d known all this,I could have made a killing on Fan Duel betting against CP3s teams being refereed by Foster
This clip is gold. Never heard insight on referring like this.
Perfect... 2 Stars... a Frenemy... chose a Ref they can call even. wanna see a battle
that Bucks game raised a point and point and half at most books in Vegas lol, that’s gonna happen for most games now that the volume of betting has increased
I LOL’d hard when Gilbert said CP3 should choke him out… I would absolutely LOVE to see that.
Steve Javie did the same thing against the Bullets/Wizards until he retired because of his beef with Wes Unseld.
Gilbert yet again speaking more knowledge than other pundits out there!!!!! You seriously need a televised show, the positions you take is really unmatched
Dear NBA, if I see Scott Foster Reffing a game, Im turning my TV off.
“Did they say who the refs were?”
“Nope”
“It wasn’t Scott Foster?”
“One of em… and it was Tim!”
😂😂 wtf
"why is Scott not fired?" THAT part.
NBA was amazing to watch, then I realized its rigged so many ways.
Are you not entertained?
Explain
Some teams have to win with 20 to really win, and other teams like Lakers will get 50+ free trows. The way players come into the league some players will never get a chance. They cant choose where they play and that place is a good fit.
Refs are terrible and with video there should not be this many mistakes. Players will more often be ejected to rest:)
There is so many red flags in the league. The way teams that do well, is puniqhed for finding players in draft and develope them like the league want...then the salary is from league pushed up very fast and the players drafted is suddently hard to keep. Those teams like nuggets, warriors...will struggle to keep players and Even if they have the money to pay. Salary cap.
i think 2 things are rigged in the league, i think the refs will try and change outcomes sometimes, biggest recent example is in the finals heat vs nuggets when jimmy stuck his foot out and kicked aaron gordon in the nuts on the 3 point line and was given a fould and shot 3 free throws to try and extend the series, and the draft i think certain drafts are rigged, bron draft, drose draft, wemby draft, ewing draft
Lost me years ago in the 2016 finals. I still pay attention peripherally, but the passion is gone
Scott has some dirt on the NBA executives.
Like I said before, refs are the reason I lost interest in the NBA. They literally can change the outcome of a game whenever they wanted to. Not to mention how softer and softer they keep making the NBA. Doubt he WNBA is this soft.
Then why are you here then assclown ?,daywalker blade cultists talking chump
Somehow, the WNBA refs are a lot more logical
@@afroshima492 whatever you fake ass black guy
This is the best sports show period. Not afraid to hold the NBA accountable. They never gonna get league sponsored lol but they gonna get the real fans regardless.
Cuss at my kid like that and it's hands everytime I see you
CP3 isn't a child
Hope somebody from the league is hearing this…. Fire dude
The league thought it was good to make it about CP3 vs Scott when that’s bad in itself ! Tim already ratted his guy’s out the league is fixing games
So glad they put this out. I pray the players don’t sign that new cba with the rule that stops active players from podcasting.
Gil is giving me intern vibes 😂
This speaks more volumes and shines a bigger magnify glass on the Real Operation of the NBA
As a phoenix suns fan, i feel this man ruined our chances in game 3 now 😢
This is outrageous.
The funny thing about Gil lie is that it is easy to look up. The Bucks were at home and a five point favorite in game 6. The bucks had won 3 in a row, why would the suns be the favorite by 4?? Keep on spreading them lies tho G
"Chris seeing Scott is emotional abuse"
And they say this era ISN'T soft...
Foster needs or rather MUST be FIRED!!!! PLAIN AMD SIMPLE!!!
I've been saying it for years.
I was in College in 03'. The Twolves came to play the Warriors.
They praticed at USF. I got a chance to talk to Garnett, Spree and Cassell.
I flatly asked them how much politics played a role in the league.
"I won't even play with you little nigga. It's all a dance."
Sam Cassell
Take that as you will.
EDIT: Spree smashed the entire womens tennis team supposedly. Legend.
That's crazy what Gik said about Game #3 vs Bucks. He sees all thise little, subtle details.
Been going on for long long time. Can I still be bitter about Kings v Lakers? Oh hell yes!!!
I say we just let them run the fade. All that bs will resolve itself. 🤷🏾♂️
Fight a 70 year old?
@@shynebayarea510absolutely. On site
Yessir. He's in the age range to f*ck around, he's in the age range to find out.
Bruh you want CP3 to go to prison for elderly abuse 😂
@@Palayon Nah 😂. We can get it sanctioned. We sanction all kinda silly fights these days
That's why these podcasts are so important. Ultimately, us fans and comsumers can punish Scott and the league and get them to act
This is crazy, these rogue refs need to go. There have been too many games decided by refs. This is why gambling should be outlawed/banned. Remember gambling can be an addiction, that can become uncontrollable.
The first thing those refs are going to do if they get fired is spill ALLLL the beans on the league
@@JawaPenguin16 Not necessarily since i'm sure they pay them well to keep silent.
Referee should be impartial and without agenda. Look at them like Judges. Theres an issue if ref has a personal agenda with the player like Scott Foster has with Paul.
Miko left, the numbers went higher. Guess we don't need no sex appeal
How about the player being less emotional? Why does the ref have to be the grownup? Rasheed, CP3, Cousins, and Draymond bitch and moan over EVERY call even when they know they're wrong. Refs are human, just like the players.
No ones gonna talk about how unethical having refs out there is unethical period. I been saying it for the NBA and NFL to just get rid of refs and replace it with tech. Everything can be reviewed in todays game, there shouldnt be any wrong calls. Take them out the game bc at the end of the day , we dont watch for the refs.
AI will make a game 4hrs long
This hurts how i feel about the nba
Story of Chris Paul life: Not Michael Jordan, but expect Michael Jordan treatment.
In regards to what Scott said to his kid that’s wild
This is a dope segment, I don’t think people really thought about the refs in that manner. Gil is a cerebral guy.
Wow this crazy !!! Scott Foster should be fired
The nba gotta step in and switch them schedules
😂Gil, we not buying it. Cp3 shot 73% AGAINST BUCKS NOT NAMED GIANNIS that entire series.
Giannis had 50 15 5 with 5 blocks. THAT'S why the bucks won.
He got 50 on some bad free throw calls as well though but your mostly right
@@topnotchtajmahal7216 bor he got hacked everytime he touched the ball, ayton couldnt hold that man
Hey dumbass Giannis had 19 ft attempts wtf
@@topnotchtajmahal7216 bro he gets HAMMERED LIKE BRON AND SHAQ lol.. every one was earned
it’s like a referee in a wwe match, mostly just there to make sure everything goes how boss wants
NBA and refs rigging games? Oh, there's that 2002 WCF nostalgia I've felt as a Kings fan for two decades!
I would like to see the Vegas odds on CP3 getting Scott Foster once he retires.
So is they saying that Scott Foster robbed Chris Paul From getting to the finals
