Bro shoulda taken advantage of his opportunity and earned a 20 mill a year contract … his team was tanking and giving young guys a shot instead he took advantage for a quick buck… not to mention how stupid do you have to be to place a 80K parlay to win a mill involving the under on all your stats the same night you just so happen to sit out cuz of a random llness you don’t think they gonna flag that. 😂
What about the scandals in the early 60s? Many players got banned from the NBA including the great Connie Hawkins. And they did not get into the NBA until they went to court.
Really really stupid for Jontay to do that. I understand that he doesn't make as much money as an NBA player that's not in the G-league but risking and losing your 400k salary for bets in the 10ks (I think he only won 20k in total after making all those bets, lost a lot) is beyond stupid. He's gonna have to continue his playing career overseas. BTW, I wish the NBA would crack down this hard and fast on players involved in domestic violence & illicit relationships with minors (*cough* Giddey) like they just did with Jontay on illegal gambling
There is a difference between being banned for gambling and being banned for violating the drug policy. Whether or not he is officially banned for life, he is effectively banned for life because no team will want anything to do with him.
What is the bigger crime what Porter did or what the NBA does every night with crooked officiating. A lottery draft order determined in secret. Trades made to benefit big name franchises. Corrupt from the top to the bottom. All major sports networks are in business with the NBA.
Fans who are mad about the ban don't understand the implications this. If NBA don't do anything about this it can be detrimental to the game as a whole. This thing is also illegal in football.
Lions cowboys playoff game in Dallas as I watched it was clear & present that the officials refs responsible for the safety & integrity of the game were not going to allow Detroit Lions to win in Dallas against cowboys
Here's a theory: they bring this out right before Nuggets- Lakers to disrupt his brother in a playoff series where they're trying to make Lebron James better than Jordan.
I mean his brother got the huge bag and idk why this dude would do this like cmon. I mean sure his bro money ain’t his but I’m sure if he wanted some nicer stuff here or there, his brother woulda got him but wtf does this dude need
These gambling platforms might have moree integrity than the leagues do, as soon as that changes, which it will, it will hollow out professional sports, maybe almost kill it
All the sports leagues knew this was going to happen when they got between the sheets with Las Vegas and Online gambling sites. They don't care about players like Porter getting caught because they are easily replaced.

Where’s the Ohtani updates?? Oh that’s right….
this is so stupid, Adam silver will cave. he always does. Even the avg player in the NBA makes stupid money.
Jamie Foxx and Kevin Hart commercial up next
As trash as he was he would’ve be made more just playing in the league 😂
With all the betting on sport why is baseball not demanding the umpires do a better job (Angel – for instance).
This is just the tip of the iceberg. One and done Is important. These guys and wiggle room is horse hockey.
What if it had been queen james that was caught gambling in the same manner as Porter?

Did the refs get a life ban when they did the same

Imagine how many people are cheating and not getting caught. It’s ridiculous.
thats a great point by Dan that they didn't say banned for life
Everybody's trying to one up Ja on being dumb.

Does anybody else think it’s fishy that the investigation mentioned a game he sat out as evidence the man avg. less than 5 pts. a game!

I still don't think online gambling should be legal nation wide. Let people go to Vegas, Atlantic City, and local casinos.
You cannot fix stupid.
Jordan was banned for life…..got reinstated in two years.
Know their keeping an eye on his brother!🤔
What a dummy

This is the most coverage Porter has ever had. The guy has a three point CAREER average.

Someone that stupid needs to go back and worry about getting his GED

Stupid is as stupid does 😂
Now lets shed light on the refs that are still in the nba who where involved with Tim Donahee scadel
Jordan got 1 and a 1/2 year suspension.
All the sports leagues knew this was going to happen when they got between the sheets with Las Vegas and Online gambling sites. They don't care about players like Porter getting caught because they are easily replaced.
should have blamed a childhood friend like ohtani did.
It's like betting at a Casino… you're always being watched…
How hypocritical to be sponsored by betting sites yet suspended anyone who uses said gambling sites. Pete Rose now deserves an apology
His bookie snitched on him. Hes being investigated by the feds
Meanwhile the game has been rigged for twenty years at least.
KARMA, WHAT A DUMB FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
Wow he bet on himself lossing how they find this out ?
Good thing Jordan retired long ago.
He’s not stupid, he’s sick!
A knowledge of basic mathematics and common sense has potential to go a long way. Jontay gone.
