My homeboy who works for the league told me Porter isn't the only payer being investigated, but he might be the one they use to send a firm message to the others.

Was one last year that didn’t go anywhere. They either couldn’t tie it back to the player/team, or didn’t try. There’s 2 others this year though besides Porter

 

[Skooby]

Was he realisticly going to make a roster for this year anyway?

 

[Rocket Scientist]

I think people are waiting for the big names.

Was he realisticly going to make a roster for this year anyway?

Yeah despite his shooting percentages, he played really well. He was going to get a minimum deal

 

[Pure Water]

That whole family is retarded.

Domestic violence won

Slap up your woman, couple game vacay

Bet on yourself () lifetime ban

Absolutely. One jeopardizes the integrity of the game and the other is a issue for law enforcement.

 

[god shamgod]

Dude was barely in the league, 37 career games & a bunch of g league stints.despite that his dumb ass would make more money with the nba minimum than betting

Wasn’t worth If you could make a roster

I think people are waiting for the big names.

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

24 years old is old enough to understand the consequences of gambling especially since NBA rules clearly prohibit it.

Remember, being in the league is a privilege and not a right. If you fukk up, then there’s always someone else waiting to take your spot.

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.

Anybody ever notice Shais O/U is always 30.5

And he scores either 31 or 30 pts like every game

Who is Shais?

My homeboy who works for the league told me Porter isn't the only payer being investigated, but he might be the one they use to send a firm message to the others.

this surprises me none. he was just the one who was enough to take the fall for the more notable players.

 

[MikelArteta]

The fact that he was so blatant with it shows that if you had just a little bit of game this shyt would he easy as fukk.

I'm sure there are players doing it right now that will never get caught.

Books accepting 80k prop bets on scrubs?

Of course remember there are still offshore books etc.

Family is like having two Tiki Barbers the way both of these buffoons are fukk ups. Learning that hes MPJs brother actually makes me happy about this outcome.

fukk that family

 

[GoldenGlove]

The league is lucky that he isn’t a bigger name or this would be a bigger story with major ramifications

Makes me think... If Silver has any indication that more prevalent players are anywhere close to this space, he's reaching out to them and telling them to cut it out behind scenes
