NBA Testing Smart Basketballs for 2027 Season

Say what now?

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver reveals the league may introduce “smart basketballs” with embedded microchips as early as 2027.

The goal is to help officials make faster, more accurate calls.

Now this could change basketball in a major way however I don’t know if it’s for the better or not.

The technology could potentially help call games in real time and help determine factors such as exactly when the ball left a player’s hand, whether it crossed the three-point line, or whether a shot beat the buzzer. Just to list a few.

So although the idea of smart basketballs with embedded microchips could make the game more accurate, but it also raises real concerns about how much technology should control the sport. As a sports fan, I’m not sold on it.

Then came the crash.

WATCH: “Kill. Bury. Print.” Documentary Uncovers Corruption in Small Town America

This new true crime documentary produced by Rachel Maddow covers the real-world investigation into corruption and press intimidation in remote southeast Oklahoma.

It follows a small family-run newspaper, the McCurtain Gazette, as they report on allegations of violence, drugs, and misconduct within the county sheriff’s office.

The documentary’s title comes from a secret audio recording obtained by the journalists, where local county officials were caught discussing hiring hitmen to kill and bury the reporters to prevent them from printing their stories.
