This may have legs beyond basketball...

Sometime during the fall of 2016, a mutual friend introduced Blazer to Rashan Michel, a former NBA and Southeastern Conference referee. After leaving his NBA referee role in 2001, Michel opened Thompson Bespoke Clothiers in Atlanta, which sold high-end, custom-tailored suits. His clients included NFL players such as Todd Gurley, Teddy Bridgewater, Sammy Watkins and Mike Evans, among others. In 2014, Michel designed the suits worn by the top seven picks in the NFL draft, according to his social media account.

This past spring, former LSU tailback Leonard Fournette and former Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson were among the players who wore Michel's suits on the first night of the NFL draft.

So since my girlfriend owns a pair of Adidas shoes, does that mean she's involved also?

A private citizen can't sell a suit to another private citizen anymore?

This is still America, right?

Unless I'm mistaken, LF was wearing a Zegna suit for the NFL draft. He tweeted a thank you to Zegna and Met-Rx.

I think it is more of a connection between some shady guys and an NBA / SEC basketball referee. Game fixing and favorable calls would be my worry.

ETA: Maybe the league office should be concerned.
