Yet over the years, it has been ruined by match-fixing and betting. Even the legend who passed away in a helicopter accident a few years ago, Kobe Bryant, was called out by the FBI for participating in number-fixing while still playing.

The process of uncovering the match-fixing scandal of American professional basketball players is very similar to the case of the BT-VT club recently detained by the investigation agency for the past two times.

Initially, US authorities and the New York Court permanently banned striker Jontay Porter of the Toronto Raptors Club from playing for organizing match-fixing and then betting. Uncovering the case, US authorities continued to arrest four other players including Timothy McCornack, Mahmud Mollah, Long Phi Pham (commonly known as Bruce).

The US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) also said that the biggest problem is that online betting companies, stars, and American professional basketball players collude to fix scores and then participate themselves. Participate in betting with sports betting websites and win.

The specific numbers through each match-fixing mission and then won were also specifically declared by the players before the investigation agency. In which Mahmud Mollah once performed a mission and won 1.2 million USD. Also through this case, Mollah’s teammate McCornack won 44 thousand USD…. Many other specific numbers were declared by many players who no longer dared to be pretentious and had to declare to the investigation agency and the FBI.

After expanding the investigation, the story of match-fixing and betting through websites has emerged in the NBA since 2009, including deals involving the participation of American basketball legend Kobe. Bryant, died in a helicopter accident in Los Angeles a few years ago.

Many other big names were named by US authorities, prosecutors, courts and the FBI. What’s worth mentioning is that the US authorities have made every call, there has never been an unjust call. This shows that the problem of match-fixing and betting has been underground in the NBA for a long time.

This story, specifically its progression, is very similar to the way the BR-VT Club’s player groups acted, leading to this crime. That is the player who actively arranges the score to lose and then participate in betting and win the bet.

The NBA’s “bomb” continues to explode in the near future. What will happen to the big names of the NBA, the pride of American sports?

There is a current reality, big names, basketball stars of award-winning teams scattered across states in the United States are… one after another… packing their bags to the investigation agency following a summons from the FBI.
