The Official NBA Season Thread: HO HO HO

[frshstunna]

We can’t be too surprised tho…all this has happened with players betting before, it was just quiet for a while but inevitable that some players couldn’t resist

Gambling been legal for only a couple years and every league got a sketchy story or somebody jammed up for betting already …This light work for Pete rose and the old timers

 

[WASHED KING]

Ready for the refs to get caught. That’s when it gets fun.

The Shohei stuff opened up a massive can of worms for these leagues and their collective embrace of gambling recently....

Me explaining this situation to my uncle next time we speak...

See that pick is getting passed around like @addict4sneakers fandom. How am I supposed to keep up with that?

Oh **** this was actually a good one.

As a raps fan this is actually pretty disappointing because he looked like he could be a decent prospect.

 

[aepps20]

Adam Silver gonna act all appalled at this if it turns out he was placing bets

Then turn right around a week later and promote sports betting coming to the NBA app.

Adam probably bet da under on that game

With the advent of prop bets, they should already know.

If things were kept simplified like moneyline, runline and over/unders it wouldn’t be this extreme.

I hate player prop bets

Ready for the refs to get caught AGAIN. That’s when it gets fun.

I legit read this as sarcasm.

Imagine saying you care about the integrity of the game while employing scott foster

Adam Silver's presser to this will be sponsored by Fanduel

NBA needs to ban the Nuggets from the playoffs. Have to discourage all betting.

 

[moe200069]

What’s the over/under on games he’s suspended? 81.5?

 

[Coupé It]

“The integrity of the game”

All while they blitz you with FanDuel ads and DraftKings updates on the spread during the game.

All while Russel Westbrook talks about how hard it was for him coming up and how he’s finally made it - brought to you by “Hennesey, the spirit of the NBA”.

Man, FOH

 

[aepps20]

They should ask him where he was on Jan 6 and add that to da charges

 

[JD617]

Not NBA but

[antidope]

Ahh it's fake moral high ground while we profit off said illicit activity time. Go NBA go.

 

[651akathepaul]

At least he was smart enough to bet the unders.

Indefinite…you won’t see him in the league again, it’s a nobody they don’t care

Porter is a moron.

People who gamble to put their livelihood at risks, especially if that livelihood is worth more than any gamble win, is an idiot and deserves whatever is coming to them.

I wish I could find the one I ran across earlier today. It was in essence "But think of what the children will look like"
