Please tell me he has a college degree…..one way or another ALL NBA careers come to an end through injury or gambling. These kids coming out of college early just to play and make millions listen up and don't take education for granted. If kids get a chance at an college education why not take advantage of leaving with a degree that can never be taken away? The question now is what will be his next career move????
Did this guy just argue that a guy betting on his own games is worse than a manifestation of racism that led to chattel slavery and it's like? Wtf
That was just dumb
We are about to witness the biggest corruption in NBA history, the referees are about to work double time and a half to help LEBALCO win this series. The Nuggets have to get ready for all the shady shit that’s about to happen, the nuggets fans need to step up and put a stop to this..!!!!!
He deserves the ban! He got just what he was looking for!
This guy is probably in debt to loan sharks for A LOT OF $$$$$$.
How stupid can one person be?
Ok if that's the case. Cheating should be treated the same as this CORRECT!?!? Why isn't the self appointed "king& goat" Labron James that is so Obviously full of PEDs right now being tested for and shown as the CHEATER that he is!!
This mediocre fool destroyed his basketball career. This is an example of professional suicide!! Racism and betting against your own team are to two best ways to destroy a sports career.
You’re way wrong on that Donald sterling comment. But you ain’t black Stephen A so it didn’t bother you as much
Disagree on Pete Rose. Any game he didn't bet on his team to win was a signal to his bookies (intentional or not) that there was something wrong with the Reds that night. Plus he likely hurt his team playing for strategies to help him win bets more than for them to win as many games as possible. An extreme nuance, but I believe it's important. It's very very simple:. Do not bet on games for a league that employs you.
Its all rigged, he could have tip off what another player role was for that game. Its all scripted. The players playing for quarters and half. And whats so confidential if youre playing real basketball
I really, REALLY hope Jontay saved the 2.3 million (or whatever it was) he made b4 he started this gambling mess. He can still live a nice life… But he probably didn't smh
Should of just got a translator
This is not worst than Donald Sterling
Then his other brother got sentenced to prison. What were the Porter parents teaching their kids? 😂
Wasn’t me, I didn’t do it.
NBA: "There is nothing more important than protecting the integrity of NBA competition"
Kings/Lakers 2002 Game 6: "Am I a joke to you?"
Yeah, Mark Cuban said it was Pandora's Box, and 10 years later, nothing else like that has happened since.
man…Donald Sterling was gay AF. Those women he had around him were decoys. I remember the stories of how he and his girlfriends would go to the Clippers locker room and "size up" the players. But it wasn't the girlfriends who asked to go into the locker room. That's was Donald's thing. SMH
He needs to bet on his basketball talents somewhere else as he proved he has no intelligence to thrive in this world
Damn the Porter Family having a rough time. Jontay made the ultimate fool out of himself and embarrassed his family by getting banned from the NBA and another brother Coban Porter just got sentenced to prison for a DUI crash that killed someone. Look what bad decisions get you.
This guy is a idiot and deserve this harsh Punishment because he threw his opportunity to play in the NBA
The NBA is getting everything they deserve. This is probably not the last case of a player gambling. They partner with these gambling outfits who have all these prop. Bets on their sports. The NBA and other leagues deserve any fallout from gambling that happens in the future.
GTFOH Donald Sterling was not kicked out of the league for that one statement. He did a hell of alot more that made him a cancer to the NBA.
People who bet on the Raptors and lost while he was playing should be able to sue him.
Man U ain’t gotta ask Mike Porter Sh!t. That ain’t got nothing to do with him. They are 2 diff people. He balling on his end trying to get another chip.
Here is where SAS is a shrill for the establishment. Jontay Porter is a scapegoat that lets Silver look like he has control. But he does not have control of this. Not at all. That speech by Silver was a joke. Obviously, the integrity of the game is NOT the most important thing in the game or else he never would have gotten in bed with gamblers. Wake up, SAS. Porter is a pawn in all of this. He means nothing. There is, however, a much, much bigger story here. Stephen A, let them just hand down this narratives and expect you to swallow them whole. Come on, bro. Wake the H up. Your moral outrage feeds the system and gives it cover.
SAS is a sound byte guy. He sucks in the medium. At least, he could interview someone or something Hearing him scream at me for an hour is not happening. Sorry.
He really thinks that rolled up sleeve look is fly
Hey Stephen A!!! The entire sports league is CROOKED BOOOOYYYY!!!!!!
There's usually more to these stories than meets the eye. He made millions in the NBA and has a brother who signed a 180 million dollar contract so it probably wasn't financially motivated. There are bookies who target young players and manipulate them into a situation where they then have control over them. I wouldn't be shocked if some dangerous people were forcing him to do what he did because he owed them money or they found out some info on him that he didn't want revealed.
He couldn’t just train hard at practice and enjoy the game? Strange
The NBA did the correct thing he deserve to be banned from the league.
It’s a shame because he finally got a real contract and was a good piece for the raptors, and he throws it away for $21,000
Sold the bag for $22,000. Would yall gamble 2.1 million for a chance to win 22,000?
The feds should investigate. That is outright theft.
When he placed a bet, that win is funded by those who bet overs on his stats. He literally stole from others, it's not a victimless crime.
Intentionally losing is only okay if it’s for draft picks.
😄😄😆😆😂😂🤣🤣😭😭
Oh good
But what if he made way more money than he would have playing in the NBA😂😂😂
Hopefully they catch the guys who pay off referees. 🤣
Chinese Basketball welcomes him with arms wide open. Hahaha
They did say Pete Rose betted on his team! What does it matter? You are a hypocrite! The same way you claimed you cared about domestic violence and said Dana White should decide his own punishment after him and his wife fight in Mexico. Nobody takes you seriously when it comes to INTEGRITY.
Pete Rose thought he could do whatever he wanted because they spoiled him and he felt entitled
Be consistent: both are rightly punished And you come up with that weak shit about how much he made everybody else. Does NOT matter. But money for you defines INTEGRITY I see
