“Jeffrey Sports,” a sports and commentary site created by “Jeffrey Epstein,” featured the Indiana Pacers in 2011. Published on Jan. 27, 2011, the article emphasized the team’s climb in the Eastern Conference standings.
On Monday, a few NBA fans who noticed the site announced their finding on X. While many jumped to the popular thought that it was written by the late sex offender, some explained its origins.
One fan wrote:
“Domain was registered this month, it’s not real.”
Another fan confirmed the finding:
“No, he didn’t. The site did exist in 2010, but what’s hosted on the domain now was created earlier this month.”
Created on Feb. 2, 2026, teams featured on the site following the article about the Indiana Pacers include the Dallas Mavericks and the Atlanta Hawks. The last commentary, dated Feb. 13, 2011, was about the Mavericks heading into that year’s All-Star weekend.
Jeffrey Epstein was accused of sexually abusing teenage girls between the ages of 14 and 17. The millionaire pleaded guilty to the charges and was convicted in 2008. Epstein served less than 13 months of an 18-month imprisonment.
In July 2019, Epstein was again arrested. According to NPR, he was accused of “sex trafficking minors and the conspiracy to commit sex trafficking of minors.” He was waiting for trial when he died inside a New York prison cell in August that year. Although ruled as suicide, the release of the so-called “Epstein Files” this year has put to doubt the cause of his death.
Jeffrey Epstein’s Analysis of 2010-11 Indiana Pacers Was Spot On
The Indiana Pacers held a 16-26 record when Jeffrey Epstein wrote about the team’s under-the-radar climb in the Eastern Conference standings. Epstein’s analysis was spot on:
“They move the ball, they play defense, and they do not beat themselves with silly mistakes. It is not always the most exciting style of basketball to watch, but it gets results. … By the time people start paying real attention to them, they might already be a lot further up in the standings than anybody expected.”
Sure enough, behind Roy Hibbert, Danny Granger, Mike Dunleavy, Tyler Hansbrough, Darren Collison and a rookie named Paul George, the Pacers steadily climbed the standings. They held off the Milwaukee Bucks and the Charlotte Hornets to punch the No. 8 seed and final playoff spot.
The postseason appearance ended four straight years of playoff drought. Indiana lost in five games to the Chicago Bulls, the team with the best record in the NBA that season.
