Welp
What a dumbass he legitimately secured a spot next year and threw it away
lmao thats actually crazy getting a lifetime ban from the nba
0 doubt in my mind that there are other players doing what he did. This is the outcome of selling your soul to the devil. Adam Silver is a bum.
FOR LIFE
What a fucking dumbass. Was almost certain to get another contract with us and threw it away. Fucking idiot.
EDIT: [Threw away an NBA career for $20k and for someone he knew to bet 80k to win 1.1m (and the guy didn’t even get it cause it was sus). ](https://x.com/shamscharania/status/1780634454215766295?s=46&t=sbk6yuyliVaFRQjBUBJCMQ)
What a fucking idiot.
An example has been set, what an idiot lol
DAMN
This man is stupid as fuck
Must’ve been conclusive
Good one. Had a real shot at cracking a roster spot moving forward and instead fucked it all up.
Unbelievable lmao
Get ready to learn Latvian, buddy!
Schemed too hard.
What a bag fumble
Insert Adam Silver “**FOR LIFE**” GIF
He deserved all of this and not at all shocking for them to ‘make an example’ out of a borderline role player. But man, I’m very interested to know how this all would’ve played out if the player in question was a solid rotation player or all-star type.
I can’t believe after all the injury setbacks this guy overcame, he finally had a good opportunity in the NBA, only to fuck it all up. Seemed like a smart dude but that was likely his downfall, probably thought there was no way of tracing it back to him
What an idiot
Oh wow threw a career away for the sports equivalent of insider trading. You hate to see it. He got the same punishment as Donald Sterling.
Life time ban.. Brought to you by DRAFTKINGS
He will become the greatest player the Euro League has ever seen
Idiot
Bro….
I’m sad we lost our backup center but how stupid can you be? No sympathy from me
Losing his entire career over $21 thousand in net winnings is an insane move. See ya later.
from rags to riches back to rags
What a fucking moron. He was absolutely going to get a contract with the Raptors and he fit really well into Darko’s system. Completely throws away millions in career earnings for a few hundred thousand.
Fucking moron. Adam Silvers nba is begging for this type of stuff to happen though.
So he’s not coming back?
This is bad and deserved, but Josh Giddey is walking around without even a temp suspension. Ludicrous league
He placed a bet that he get the lifetime ban
What a shame. I really liked his game and was hoping I would see him develop throughout the years with us and he just threw it all away.
Jontay will be the tallest guy to play in Poker Tour Las Vegas.
Seriously what made this look even worse are the requested time offs he asked for to affect the results of his game on the books via from injuries that real players wanting to be in the NBA would be able to play through.
Too bad adam silver doesn’t have the same energy for wife beaters and rapists
He only won 22k apparently lmao.
This dude was living a lot of people’s dream and he just took a giant steaming shit all over it. Moron.
All this tells me is that the only reason the Raptors didn’t win an NBA title this season is because Jontay Porter was throwing games. League on notice.
Excommunicado
