the underlying story in this is incentives determine behavior.

  Talk about incentives... In the NBA, the commissioner could fine a team for resting players. This was because of a game where a team, the San Antonio Spurs, which was full of older players and was doing well enough in the standings, wanted to give their older stars a rest due to the back to back schedule, but the league didn't want this. The Spurs were incentivized to rest their players & avoid injuries because it's a long season. However, the game happened to be on National TV and the league and its media partners are incentivized to have both teams' stars on the court! See also, tanking (which is really hard to define) for a better draft pick. It's funny to me to accuse bad teams of losing on purpose... https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2735734-nba-reportedly-passes-anti-tanking-draft-reform-player-resting-rules https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2735734-nba-reportedly-p...
