Jontay porter banned for life from the NBA. He was found to have given confidential information and gambled on NBA games

[broller]

Terry Rozier was the player last season, his final game where he checked out early at end of first quarter then didn’t play rest of season

He got suspended?

 

[GoldenGlove]

How'd they find out

$80,000 player prop bet on Johntay Porter to win $1 million and then he is suddenly out with illness after 3 minutes. He really thought they wouldn't catch that?

That's how

He thought no one would notice 80k bet on a random two way player

 

[GoldenGlove]

Jevon Carter needs to be investigated too

 

[Absolut]

He got suspended?

No. But it was raised by integrity monitoring and investigated by the league. They either couldn’t tie it back to him directly or didn’t dig too deep.

nikka must really love gambling, Silver said go be free

 

[Absolut]

Yep. Either his circle, or people on the team who knew he was playing only a quarter had folks running around Louisiana trying to get wild bets in

 

[Squirrel from Meteor Man]

Meanwhile the NBA had a Bet Cast on TruTV last night. They can’t have it both ways

You can’t plaster every game and ad with gambling and expect players not to eat too

 

[Legal]

Silver had the over on games suspended, and the under on Porter games played next season.

How do I read this:

Over in 6/L7 averaging 29.4 PA.

What does that mean? When I bet I only do money line or spread on the teams.

 

[Thavoiceofthevoiceless]

My point is more about the mass media marketing and promotion of gambling. Yes 24 is old enough but that doesn't change the fact gambling can be heavily addicting. Porter was making way more from his NBA salary than what he made from betting. Yet he stilll took the risk. I'm know this lifetime ban is to try and deter others from breaking the rules. I'm not sure it will work with betting being so mass marketed and normalized. You use to have to see a Bookie. Now it's just a click of a button. I get it, it's suppose to be for Adults and everyone can make their own decision. With that said, there was a reason we had guard rails for gambling in the past because of the addictive nature of it.

If he and others don’t like the rules, then retire from the league and gamble all they want
