SCRIPTED? An alleged NBA FINAL Script has leaked and is going viral on Twitter

An alleged NBA FINAL Script has leaked and is going viral on Twitter.

Whenever something crazy happens in professional basketball, some fans will bring up the idea of the NBA script. Implying the final outcome of certain events are predetermined by the league to generate the most views and ratings.

Talk of the NBA script is buzzing on social media after a fan account "leaked" what's going to happen in the remainder of the playoffs. According to this post, the LA Lakers and Boston Celtics are going to advance to the NBA Finals. From there, the series will go seven games and LeBron James is going to score 50 points in the series clincher.

The supposed script wants to make a scenario wherein the Boston Celtics beat the Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference Finals while the Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Denver Nuggets in the West. The Finals would then be between the Lakers and Celtics rivalry, in which the Los Angeles Lakers beat the Boston Celtics in 7 games for their 18th NBA championship. Moreover, it clearly states that LeBron James will win the Bill Russell Finals MVP award. There are also some details with specifics, such as Nikola Jokic scoring a 40-point triple-double in game 3 of the Western Conference Finals or LeBron scoring 53 in game 7 of the Finals.

Early in the conference finals, things are not looking good for this script. Depsite Anthony Davis going for 40 points, the Lakers dropped Game 1 to the Denver Nuggets behind a triple-double from two-time MVP Nikola Jokic.

As for the other seires, the Miami Heat are continuing their cinderella story run in the postseason. Jimmy Butler went for 35 points, five rebounds, seven assists, and six steals in Game 1 to beat the Boston Celtics on their home floor.

We have to give props to whoever made this, but this script is fake. The format needs to be more consistent, saying that the final air date would be July 18, 2023, but it also states that game seven is scheduled on 6/18/23 (June 18). Indeed, the Finals cannot be scheduled in July. Plus, the NBA can’t rig games like these (or can they?). Specifically, stating that LeBron, Jokic, or Jimmy Butler will score certain points seems unbelievable.
