The NBA released a bombshell news in the early hours of this morning: Raptors center Jote Porter was banned for life.
This Jotte Potter, many people are not familiar with him, because he is a small character. The 24-year-old Jote Porter, who is 211 centimeters tall, was an undrafted pick who signed his first NBA contract with the Memphis Grizzlies in 2020. And Jote Porter is better known as "the younger brother of Nuggets star forward Michael Porter Jr.", and both brothers have played in the NBA.
Jote Porter's talent is much worse than Michael Porter Jr., so he is just an undrafted pick, but he can sign a formal contract in the NBA and earn a lot of money, with an annual salary of at least hundreds of thousands of dollars, and even millions of dollars, which is much higher than the income of ordinary workers.
But Jote Porter still thought that he was making too little money and too slow, so he took a risk and was caught by the NBA. Back on March 25, the NBA officially suspended Jote Porter for alleged illegal betting. In the early hours of this morning, the NBA officially announced a lifetime ban on Jote Porter for revealing confidential information about his health to sports bettors, limiting his playing time in multiple games and betting on games for betting purposes.
According to the survey, from January to March, Porter made a net profit of $21,965 from gambling. Just for more than $20,000, this 24-year-old guy directly reimbursed his NBA career, which is really stupid.
In fact, this is also a typical example of the NBA, because this Porter has a special identity, he is the younger brother of Michael Porter Jr., who has a certain influence, but he is a dispensable small character, not a star, just used to make an example.
