And that's not regulated state by state, that's federal.
And then I'm always reminding people, in a global sport like ours, last I counted, there was something like 85 other countries that had legal sports betting, legalized sports betting on the NBA.
So there's no way we're going to turn the clock back on that.
You know, we're constantly looking at new ways to monitor activity, you know, even lines around the world, you can still pay attention to them, and if there's sort of
strange line movements, try to figure out what's going on, continue educating our players and everyone involved in the game on the dire consequences of betting.
But that's definitely something that keeps me up.
Well, this season we spent more time on tanking and we came up with a new system going into next season which, just in short, largely flattens the odds for the non-playoff teams and presumably will
disincentivize teams from that sort of behavior.
I mean, there's no question it got out of hand, you know, and we want the focus to be on winning games, and I think that's what's going to change.
It'll be really interesting next season because we'll be going into a world we've never been in before, where there's essentially no incentive
to be at the bottom.
In fact, we have a concept we're calling draft relegation.
You're actually at odds of getting a top pick go down if you're one of the bottom three picks.
I was very focused on that this year.
Flopping started to get more attention early rounds of the playoffs this year.
That's something we have a competition committee meeting in Las Vegas for two days.
We'll certainly be spending a lot of time on that.
I think that the concept in terms of flopping, I mean, historically in the league, for us it was when a player snapped his head back and then you saw in video replay, maybe often after the game, that the other player didn't even touch him, etc.
Looked like a player was shot out of a rocket, etc., and wasn't even touched.
You know, as I've said, you know, recently, I think what modern flopping is often more about players
