    someone needs to investigate jordan poole

  2. In the immortal words of Dr. John Dorian,

    “He stuck his peep in an electrical socket. You can’t do that.”

  3. WobbleKun

    well… not the hardest bet to make this year lol

  4. Banning him for life was the only choice Silver had

  5. HokageEzio

    He really left not even the slightest room for an argument of shades of gray about sports gambling, this is legitimately one of the dumbest people to ever play in the league.

  6. BigHornLamb

    Who’s smarter Jontay, MPJ, or their brother with the vehicular homicide charge?

    “Am I wrong? Should I not have done that?”

  8. beefJeRKy-LB

    Damn bro. I better not hear other NBA players trying to defend this shit. I know it’s a brotherhood and all but betting against your team is 1000% inexcusable.

  9. doms9ine

    I know he was pissed when they beat the Bucks after being on a 15 game losing streak

  10. myredditthrowaway201

    Will he be able to attend his brothers games?

  11. throwstuff165

    *insert ludicrously-missing-the-point joke about gambling ads*

  12. CarterAC3

    Between this and the MPJ podcast clips the Porter family are fucking idiots

  13. Dramatic-County-1284

    I got a feeling he ain’t the only player betting

    Fred : “ Bet on yourself”

    Jontay : “Bet against yourself”

  15. So how long until the feds come after this dude?

    i think this is gonna get ugly for the nba. porter was probably betting on the raps to lose because they were desperately trying to cling to that sixth pick and the coach was telling them openly to phone it in. homie thought he would make a lil extra on the side knowing his team was trying to cheese it

  17. 2277love

    Someone please investigate Klay.I would rather he was betting than washed.

  18. Fuughazi

    Surely his brother must be complicit. Get his ass too, ^(preferably by Saturday.)

  19. F4STW4LKER

    Even Pete Rose knew not to mess with ~~the raptor fences~~ betting on his own team to lose.

  20. League is probably breathing a sigh of relief, get to have the appearance of laying down the law without having to drop the hammer on a legitimate player

  21. Showmethepathplease

    Years ago cricket had a huge issue with gambling (legal and illegal)

    It’s similar to basket ball in that it’s very possession based,  a “game of runs” and stats heavy in a way that can be influenced by players and referees individual actions 

    It took multiple bans and prosecutions of high profile players to stamp it out, as well as systematic change 

    The NBA will probably need something similar

    Lol instead of maybe making a nice career for himself and then retiring into obscurity he is going to be remembered for the rest of time long after he is gone as a major dumbass. 

  23. NeatTry7674

    Not gonna blame a guy for betting on an absolute lock

  24. thehopefulsquid

    I am shocked SHOCKED that something like this would happen (This comment brought to you by Draft Kings – 75 way parlays on NBA games now available)

  25. superdeedapper

    Now apply this same energy to scott foster

  26. nomadrone

    Get the fucking gambling out of sports then. 

  27. Talal916

    You can beat your wife, threaten women at gunpoint, rape women, sleep with underage girls, get 12 year old children pregnant and the NBA will still celebrate you, but as long as you don’t gamble or do drugs

  28. Loved him at Mizzou when he kept getting injured. Had no clue he was a complete idiot, but after hearing his brother talk during Covid, I can’t say I’m surprised

  29. TheBrazilianKD

    Ban Scott Foster. It should just keep being said at this time. Ban Scott Foster.
