On April 18, Beijing time, the NBA issued a super heavy fine, and Nuggets champion forward Michael Porter's younger brother Joan Tai Porter was banned by the league for life!
The NBA officially announced that Toronto Raptors two-way contract player Joan Tai Porter has been banned for life by the league. According to the league's investigation, Joan Tai Porter violated NBA rules by leaking confidential information to NBA bettors to limit his participation in one or more games for betting purposes, and he himself bet on NBA games.
As for why the league issued a lifetime ban to Joan Tai Porter, NBA commissioner Adam Shaw said in a statement: Out of responsibility to fans, teams and everyone associated with the NBA, there is nothing more important than maintaining the fairness of NBA games, which is why Joan Tai Porter has suffered the most serious punishment for blatant violations of the rules of the game.
The NBA has a clear rule that all employees of the league (including players, coaches, and staff) are prohibited from engaging in NBA-related gambling activities. In order to better prevent and prevent players from participating in betting, each team has a dedicated person working with a third party who is responsible for monitoring betting data and focusing on finding abnormal betting data. The league's punishment for violators is also very cruel, ranging from fines, bans (suspensions) to contract termination. Jonteport, on the other hand, knowingly committed more than one violation, so he deserves the most severe life ban.
The following is a brief overview of the general violation process of Joan Tai Porter. Before the Raptors-Kings game on March 21, Porter revealed confidential information about his health to an NBA bettor he knew. Subsequently, another NBA game bettor whom Porter knew placed $80,000 at the sportsbook and ended up winning $1.1 million. The investigation also found that between January and March of this year, Porter used his partner account to bet on at least 13 NBA games during his time with the Raptors and Raptors Development League teams, which gave him a net profit of $21,965.
As the saying goes, if you don't die, you won't die! But Joan Tai Porter just chose to take a risk, not only leaking secrets, but also personally participating in gambling activities, and finally completely killing his NBA career! Well, being banned by the league means that he will disappear from the NBA. Originally, his career was about to set sail, but now he suddenly cut it in half, which makes people feel very pity! Next, if Qiongtai Porter still wants to engage in basketball, I am afraid that he will only have to go to overseas leagues to pan for gold, which is really embarrassing!
