Famous sports podcaster Bill Simmons revealed a shocking insight into Kawhi Leonard’s controversial no-show job, saying he wishes he could share even 10% of what he’s heard, and claiming that half of the league engages in similar practices.
The Kawhi Leonard no-show job scandal has sent shockwaves through the NBA, with new details emerging about a potentially fraudulent salary-cap scheme tied to his contract with the Los Angeles Clippers.

Some league strategists warn that if Leonard and the Clippers avoid serious punishment over his alleged $28 million “no-show” endorsement deal, other franchises could follow suit by using shell companies to secretly funnel money to players.
But according to well-known sports podcaster Bill Simmons, this kind of maneuvering is already widespread.
“Some of the stories have talked about how furious other teams are… Get the f*ck out of here. Half the league does this,” Simmons said on his podcast.
“I wish I could say 10% of the stuff I’ve heard… Everything you think is happening, is happening. Just period,” he added.
