What do we want from sports? The very best athletes competing as hard as they know how, putting all their effort and training and natural ability to the test against their opponents. But this time of year, that's not the product the NBA is putting on the court. Instead, teams at the bottom of the league are competing … to lose, because it could help them get a top pick in next year's draft. It's called tanking — it's bad for fans, and it's bad for the league.Tanking has gotten especially egregious this year. Even NBA Adam Silver has called out teams for tanking. He recently announced that league bigwigs are considering “every possible remedy” to “align incentives.”Today on the show — Planet Money fixes the NBA's tanking problem by … fixing the NBA draft. We get solutions from Hockey Hall of Famer Jayna Hefford, World Cup Champion Sam Mewis, and long-time NBA analyst Zach Lowe.

If you're a runner trying to lose weight, you've probably run into this frustrating experience: you start cutting calories, trying to “eat clean,” maybe even running more… and suddenly your runs feel terrible. Your energy drops. Your pace slows down. Workouts feel harder than they should. And sometimes you end up gaining the weight back anyway. This happens all the time. Runners assume the solution is to eat less and run more. But that approach almost always backfires. Today I'm going to walk you through how to approach fat loss in a way that actually supports your running instead of sabotaging it.

Is the NBA draft lottery rigged to reward losing? Veteran NBA insider Ric Bucher sits down with Dr. TJ Highley, Associate Professor of Math & Computer Science at LaSalle University, who has developed a groundbreaking anti-tanking formula that could change the NBA forever — and it doesn't involve eliminating the draft.Highley's COLA (Carryover Lottery Allocation) system strips tanking of its incentive by rewarding playoff history instead of regular season losses. Teams would accumulate lottery tickets over time based on sustained failure — not deliberate losing — making intentional tanking mathematically pointless.But Bucher pushes back with 30 years of hard-won NBA knowledge: not every owner wants to win. Some — following the Donald Sterling playbook — are perfectly content selling hope while pocketing profits. Can any formula fix that?Plus: Bucher delivers a candid reassessment of the Denver Nuggets title chances and why the Michael Porter Jr. trade may have cost them more than anyone realized — rebounding. And a sharp takedown of the analytics crowd that thinks they've cracked the code on building a championship team.⏱️ TIMESTAMPS00:00 — Intro & Book Announcement 02:02 — Meet Dr. TJ Highley: The Math Professor Trying to Fix NBA Tanking 03:31 — His NBA Fandom: Spurs to Sixers & "The Process" 05:21 — COLA Explained: How Playoff History Replaces Regular Season Records 07:57 — Has Any NBA Insider Reviewed This System? 09:59 — Simple COLA: A Brand-New Version Revealed for the First Time 13:35 — Should the NBA Abolish the Draft?

The show opens on the hardwood as the Washington Wizards prepare for the debut of newly acquired star guard Trae Young against another struggling NBA team, the Utah Jazz, a franchise that was recently fined for tanking. That matchup sparks a larger conversation, with Chris Russell diving into how tanking has become far too common across the NBA and how it has conditioned fan bases to believe losing on purpose is the only path to building a contender. Chris examines the impact that mindset has had on the league and on teams like the Wizards, whose fans have often called for a full teardown. With the arrival of a dynamic offensive talent like Young, the question becomes whether his presence can reinvigorate Washington's basketball culture, restore excitement around the team, and finally quiet the calls for the Wizards to bottom out in pursuit of draft picks.

La course au tanking est lancée ! En tout, on comptabilise pas moins d'un tiers des équipes NBA qui a actuellement abandonné toute ambition cette saison. A l'Ouest, les boss du game : les Kings, le Jazz, les Pelicans, les Mavs et les Grizzlies. A l'Est, on retrouve aussi les Pacers, les Nets, les Wizards et les Bulls. Entre nullité extrême et effectifs désolants, la volonté d'aller chercher un pick élevé à la prochaine NBA Draft motive ces équipes à perdre, encore et encore, quitte à se manger des amendes pour "tanking trop flagrant". Alors, lequel de ces cancres a réellement le plus bel avenir ? Basket Time se projette ! Selon ESPN, la Grande Ligue a décidé de s'attaquer à l'un de ses principaux démons : le tanking. Adam Silver en a fait son cheval de bataille. Mais la NBA gagnera-t-elle un jour son combat contre le tanking ? Et surtout, comment sévir pour faire disparaître cette pratique ? Dans le talk historique, focus sur ces franchises qui ont marqué l'histoire en passant du pire au meilleur en un rien de temps : Boston Celtics 2008, New Jersey Nets 2002 et Oklahoma City Thunder 2019.
