I’ll save yall a click. The article doesn’t say who told him to throw games, and it doesn’t even speculate on who it was or whether the statement is even true.

Future White Sock Jontay Porter
JabariTeenageRiot
He wasn’t throwing games, that implies losing the game intentionally. He was checking himself out early to hit all his under props. No games are getting swung by whether Jontay Porter got 14 minutes or 4. Still absolutely crooked and deserved the ban ofc. But it’s more like throwing props.

Meanwhile Bally is being bought by Fanduel, so my regular sports channel will be run by sports betting.
Strange world we live in.

Gambling addiction terrifies me. I mean at least with drug addiction, you’re like “man the next time I do those drugs it sure will be fun!” Gambling addiction just seems to be like “I am $200,000 in debt. Hopefully by tomorrow I will only be $100,000 in debt! Oh no, now I am $800,000 in debt. :(“
Edit: this is not a serious commentary on addiction, people. Former drug addict here, you don’t have to lecture me.

I do not know this guy well, but was Jontay Porter in a position to change the outcome of a game?

id be willing to bet that there are other lesser-known players in the league who are doing something similar to jontay but havent been caught yet

Unnamed source claims it was a referee, to keep his name private we will call him S. Foster. /s

And this is exactly why the leagues stayed away from it for so long.

throw games probably means his scheme to sneak out of games for the unders
CrumBum_sr
He could throw his personal stats – realistically a guy who averages 13 minutes a game can’t throw the whole game

A24 could turn this into a decent movie…uncut gems but slightly different.

Jontay was never in a position to “throw games.”

Knew there had to be a reason why the Raptors weren’t contenders this year.

Like a bottom of the bench player is going to be able to throw a game anyway lol.

>When Porter was informed of his lifetime ban from the NBA, he reportedly texted the group that they “might just get hit [with] a RICO.” He then asked if they deleted all the evidence from their phones.
holy fuck what an idiot. just blatant and self incriminating the entire time
shxylo
bruh really crashed out in the worst way.
having gambling debt as a fringe nba player is crazy. even crazier that he doubled down with probably the stupidest way to try to fix a bet.
now he’s banished from the league, impending fraud case/charge; and still owes the money. lmao.
