Mat Ishbia Was RIGHT… NBA Tanking Is Finally DEAD 👀🔥

Mat Ishbia made his stance on NBA tanking VERY clear and the Phoenix Suns approach to it — tanking is for losers. 👀🔥

At the time, plenty of NBA fans criticized Ishbia’s comments and questioned whether his aggressive approach could actually work in today’s league. But now? The NBA itself has finally taken steps to end tanking with new rules, lottery changes, and a greater emphasis on competition and parity across the league.

In this video, we break down:

• Why Mat Ishbia has always been against tanking
• How the NBA’s newest changes are targeting losing culture
• Why the league wants teams competing instead of rebuilding through intentional losing
• How the new NBA rules could reshape roster building forever
• What this means for the Phoenix Suns and the rest of the NBA
• Is tanking officially DEAD in basketball?

The NBA is changing fast, and teams may no longer be rewarded for losing the way they once were. Was Mat Ishbia ahead of the curve the entire time?
