NEWS: Federal prosecutors have been investigating whether NBA player Terry Rozier manipulated his performance as part of an illegal sports betting

It’s bc it’s not “fixed”. That’s an easy way to discredit what’s actually going on which is players have betting interests and can become compromised

That does not = “it’s rigged”. When you just say rigged it sounds like thr goofballs who took that whole ‘the script” joke and act like it’s real

Don't care what you say. You'll never convince me sports aren't fixed.

So far, it seems like players on bad teams are the ones bold enough to try this.

What's been up with him since joining the Heat tho? Has he played much or has he been injured a lot there too?

I've seen college players get caught up in this, but it doesn't seem to get the same level of scrutiny. I know Tyler Ulis little brother got caught betting and he was suspended a year but now he's back playing I believe.

There will be dozens of college players implicated, and double digit schools for shaving points/throwing games

Absolutely FOUL having him in a Hornets jersey with this headline

@42 Monks breh you need to move they about to sprinkle crack in your drive way and then lock you up for life saying you killed jonbenet ramsey

nah i remember that game he did that shyt lol

So did Rozier himself tip them off or did someone in the Hornets org, like a ball boy or something, let them know about the plan with Rozier's minutes?

this is right before he shut it down for the season i think.

gotta imagine there's people like this in every lockerroom though fr

Because gambling addiction doesn’t discriminate when it comes to who falls prey to it

True. Do you think he did it to settle a gambling debt?

Any max-level player doing this would have to be either clinically retarded or is being blackmailed by a criminal operation. Doesn't make sense even for someone at Rozier's level or even minimum guys but the money is too crazy at the top for this to be entertained.

Bruno Mars is making $90M per year but allegedly had a $50M gambling debt. Lil Baby lost $8 million gambling in two days. I could see a scenario where these dumb high earning players get trapped in gambling debt with shady people and told they can get out of it by helping with parlays.

It's not just players, refs are in on it too. Probably more so since they don't get paid as much as players.

NBA saying Donaghy was an isolated incident is the most blatant lie that everyone just seems to gloss over.
