NBA fans are losing their minds as a supposedly leaked NBA “script” has surfaced online.
The NBA Finals are drawing closer, with four teams remaining in the playoffs. The Miami Heat are 1-0 on the Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference following an entertaining win on Wednesday night, while the Denver Nuggets have the advantage out West with a 1-0 lead over the Los Angeles Lakers ahead of their Game 2 affair this Thursday.
The notion of the NBA being rigged is not a new one, and it trends on social media every year around this time. The latest one can be seen right below:
This particular script states the Lakers will beat the Nuggets in six games, with Nikola Jokic set to register a 40-point triple-double in the third game of the series. The Celtics and the Heat will go to another Game 7, per the leaked document, with Boston advancing to the finals.
Some of the dates don’t make sense there, but it’s still caused quite a stir online. You could see some of the reactions below:

Of course, there’s no way that’s real. If the NBA’s going to script their playoffs, they’re not going to take the chance and have it put on paper, though it does make for some entertaining takes.
