Join us on the latest episode of The Secret Teachings with Ryan Gable as we delve into the heart of sports conspiracy theories. We're at the pinnacle of conspiracy finals, and the narratives couldn't be more outlandish. Among the myriad of theories, the idea that the NBA is rigged stands out—not for the usual suspects of betting or bad calls, but for something far more bizarre: magnets in the ball and rim.
Supporters of this theory point to a smattering of videos as evidence, showcasing moments when a ball gets stuck in an odd position or makes an unlikely shot. They claim these are not feats of skill but rather the result of magnetic manipulation. The irony? Some of these so-called proofs stem from an NBA parody commercial from over a decade ago, now twisted into the foundation of a full-blown conspiracy theory.
With an estimated 200,000 shots taken each NBA season, it's inevitable that a few will have peculiar outcomes. This magnet conspiracy has been bouncing around for over five years, tracing back to claims about Kawhi Leonard's Game 7 buzzer-beater. And yet, with players like Kobe Bryant and LeBron James having the most misses in NBA history, the question arises: why didn't magnets help their shots?
The theory doesn't stop at basketball. The NHL comes under scrutiny too, with speculations about magnetic pucks. And when it comes to women's basketball, the conspiracy takes an even darker turn, suggesting a racist element in who the magnets allegedly help or hinder.
Are these sports truly rigged with high-tech trickery, or is there a simpler explanation for these rare occurrences? Tune in to unravel the mystery and decide for yourself. Don't miss out on this eye-opening discussion!
