DeAndre Ayton

When the Phoenix Suns entered the 2019-20 season, they had ambitions to win the title and their blowout win on opening night against the Kings was the perfect start.  But less than 24 hours later, their playoff hopes were crushed when Ayton got suspended for 25 games, who had tested positive for a Diuretic, a chemical used as a masking agent that hides the presence of other banned substances.

Jared Dudley

When Jared Dudley had to jump against Andrew Bynum, a 7-foot-center, he knew he had no chance. Instead of jumping, he went for the steal as Bynum was tipping the ball to a teammate. Players in a jump-ball aren't allowed to do this, unfortunately, the refs did nothing despite a protest from the Lakers.

Dwight Howard

This is one of the funniest and most unexpected instances of cheating in the NBA. Stickum is a sticky substance athletes in some sports can legally use for better grip on the ball. Apparently, Dwight had been using it for a while when he played for the Rockets, and it was revealed when Paul Millsap realized something was wrong with the ball after Dwight last touched it. However, instead of being called a cheater, he was vigorously mocked for this idiotic technique.
