When the NBA makes gambling legal and public, it should also be mentally prepared to be counterattacked.
Retribution has not arrived, but the time has not yet come.
I'm sorry, but retribution has come.
There will definitely be players who have crooked minds, especially those who are not paid well.
The Raptors' 24-year-old forward Jonte Porter, who holds a two-way contract, was suspected of match-fixing, and NBA commissioner Xiao Hua said that if it is true, the former may be banned by the league for life.
How can Xiao Hua have the face to speak righteously? Gambling is what he brought into the NBA openly, and he will do everything to make money.
During this year's All-Star Weekend, Xiaoka, who has always been taciturn and ignorant of the world, couldn't help but criticize the current league for having too many gambling factors.
DPOY Gobert is even more outspoken, even knowing that he will be fined, but also publicly angry that gambling is becoming more and more influential on the game and is hurting the game of basketball.
Speaking of Potter, this dude is pure death, and in the end he pays for his greed.
On January 27 and March 20, they both bet on their match data and managed to reach the most winning markets.
The first time everyone thought it was just a coincidence, and thought it was just shit luck, but it was strange that it was not suspected twice in a row.
After the March 20 game, the league investigated Porter and found that he not only bought the ball himself, but also called on others to buy it, so there were multiple accounts that bought a large number of bets on the former's game, amounting to $10,000 to $20,000, while the limit is usually only $1,000 to $2,000.
Since the Potter gambling incident, he has been suspended by the league and has been suspended for 10 games in a row.
Raptors teammates are frustrated when it comes to this, such as Agaki's claim that betting is part of the sport, leading people to lash out at you for not winning money when you don't win a bet.
It is worth mentioning that Porter's "business" acumen was shown a long time ago, and he sold the No. 11 jersey to his new teammate Bruce Brown for $10,000 and changed to the No. 34 jersey himself.
Honestly, Brown felt that he had earned it, and said happily that he thought he would have to spend more money to get the Raptors' No. 11 jersey, and that the deal was made by Michael Porter Jr. as the intermediary introducer.
Brown earns a whopping $22 million this season and was teammates with Michael Porter Jr. in the Nuggets in '22-23, while the latter is a brother to the Raptors' Jonte Porter.
So after the Joan Te Porter gambling incident was exposed, Michael Porter Jr. was very protective of his calves and said in great disbelief: "I have known my brother since I was a child, I know what kind of person he is, and I know that he is very excited about playing basketball. ”
Michael Porter Jr. is a billionaire, signed a five-year $173 million contract with a maximum salary in 21, and is now a championship forward, and his younger brother Jonte Porter has a two-way contract, and he has to steal chickens and dogs to make ends meet.
The younger brother's accident also had a certain impact on the image of the elder brother, and even more doubted whether Michael Porter Jr. also did it, or did he not report it?
After the investigation is over, the league has designated a heavy penalty for Porter, completely expelled from the NBA, and even filed a lawsuit.
If you don't know what to do, you will be caught if you stretch out your hand, and it is only a matter of time before you find out, and you will suddenly do it as a small evil!
