He put his brother under the spot light. I'm mad bc he bet against the raptors
How dumb do you have to be to not only do it once but twice. Rip
What an idiot my god
We can argue if he was punished was too harsh because he is a nobody (turns out in life – not just basketball). I'm not worried about that as a Raps fan – this is the ultimate breach of team trust – travelling on the bus, suiting up with a guy like Grady who is working his ass off and betting against him – he was living a lie with his teammates. You gotta be one helluva low integrity scum bag to do that. See ya ys bum. But yeah, clearly has a compulsion – this whole betting thing is a disaster on every level. People think it is great – they have the right to do this – these arre the exact same people who are hurt by it – lose their house, their wife – in Jontay's case his career just so these big corporations can make money hand over first. It will collapse one of the major sports leagues in the next 5 years – mark my words. This is what happens when decisions are made for greed over intergrity – the integrity of the lague will be lost.
Well atleast this went down while the tank was on. Cuz if we was actually in the offs an this went down it would be a way bigger deal for us all an a goofy distraction in the locker room. Our players definitely gotta feel a type of way tho fr. Bruh was supposed to be a brother but turned out to be a trash can of a person an teammate.
He needs to go to prison. What a disgrace.
Raptors should be compensated! We need two centre’s now WOW!
Hopefully no jail time.
naw porter is a scumbag for this. we gave him a shot and he bet against us. purposely trying to throw games to profit. the NBA is a multi billion dollar product the worst thing you can possibly do it tarnish the brand’s integrity and make it seem illegitimate. people can have off the court stuff but at the end of the day that doesn’t put the legitimacy of the league into question.
Still, I don’t think any sports books should be able to advertise on the nba if this is the result. Refs should be held to the same standard too
Man, he's an idiot. He was actually a good player with chance to be part of the rotation next season
The NBA (and most sports leagues these days) are owned by sports betters and I'm sure these betters were pissed that they had to pay out over $1-million on a $80,000 bet. This is why the NBA investigated Jontay Porter and cracked down on him.
Sports betters have a heavy presence in the league and its policies: it's been argued that the new player participation/load management policy is to ensure that star players play to protect sports betting odds. Is it a coincidence that the inaugural in-season tournament was held in Vegas?!?
Like all things in our modern world, if you want to seek the truth, follow the money!
I guess Freds motto bet on yourself should not be taken literally.
Why not offer Jontay a chance to go to rehab, counseling and try to get clear of this obvious addiction? If he was addicted to drugs and alcohol (another drug) he would be offered this chance to get clean.
Why not work with him and maybe giving him the lifetime ban but with the chance to come back if he can get and stay clean for a certain period. Would that not be a good example considering their ad revenue for gambling?
He should be banned from the city of Toronto what a waste
I work in the addiction industry, and gambling addiction is a real thing!
good. no remorse
Wym this is exactly what I thought would happen, if you thought anything otherwise, you smokin that zaza lol
Imagine he had blew that $80k bet….headlines might be different…cause nobody with $80k to gamble taking that lightly ..and with $1.1 million at stake.
Wow he had potential but rules are a must…😢
that's insane
Bringing back the old school. Your voice is AMAZING. Love this.
Raptors need to really investigate in players better outside from ball
Terrance Davis – domestic assault
Jalen Harris – suspension for positive drug test.
Jotay Porter – Ban for gambling . The front office needs work .
Chris Boucher gives 100 percent every time on the floor and he was benched for a guy who was activily sabotaging the team. How about playing the guys that actually give s**t.
Where that Coolbet at?
Also what about all the refs involved in the bs?
CNN reports, according to NBA the $80,000 bet on the March 20 game was frozen due to the “unusual betting activity and actions of the player,” so 1.1 million has not been paid out, Jontay made nothing on that one. Got what he deserved
I dont see anything wrong🤷🏾
A few Officials should be banned as well. We know the ref's are doing this as well.
Goodnight sweet prince …enjoy playing for Kazimierz hamsters in Pakistan 😅
Great take brother …Total grifter .You simply cannot bet on the sport you participate in…
I strongly suspected this would be the outcome…bad, bad choice by jpj
Unfortunately he ruined a promising career and hurt the raptors and his teammates along the way.
Does this make sense….? Seems like at 24 years old he throws away a great career first what? Gambling and cheating….he needs to donate his brain to science when he dies….the medical find for stupidity may be groundbreaking….might also explain away Canadians who vote Liberal.
Porter did everyone a favor, #1 Someone was eventually going to try this #2 Someone was going to try it with the Raptors because it's Canada. He did it in one swoop, it's done, hopefully no one tries again for a while.
I could be wrong but I’m pretty sure they froze that 80,000 bet so there was no payout of 1.1 million
What’s even crazier they didn’t pay out the million dollar bet but had he lost his 80k we wouldn’t heard a word about it
