Chauncey Billiups and Rozier got arrested by the FBI on gambling charges.

[Yes or No]

Jones allegedly added via text: "Bet enough so Djones can eat [too] now!!!"

If the owners don't fire Silver you know they're just as bad as he is.

Oh it's the end of Silver, I have no doubt about that. This caps off what has been the worst tenure of a commissioner in sports history.

[Yes or No]

Gobb is such a goof lol

If by goof you mean he's a self loathing anti-white, irrationally pro-black, indescribably confident while being regularly incorrect with a low IQ and overall extreme level of cluelessness, yes, I agree.

You sure? I hope so. lol.

So the NBA had no idea all these arrests were going to happen today, but it's clear the NBA knew about some of the gambling that was going on, but chose to ignore it. How the hell do you clear Terry Rozier, but then later on the FBI arrests him for the same reason you cleared him for?

It makes the Eric Lewis (NBA ref) situation seem even more sketch now, more than likely the league found out he was betting on Celtics games and just forced him to retire so none of this would be made public.

And then approve a trade to send him to Miami.

The simple answer is that Jontay Porter was a scrub who was barely in the league so an easy target to make an example of and ban for life. Rozier was a lot more high profile so more advantageous for the league to do what they love to do regarding star players, sweep indiscretions under the rug. Especially ones like this.

Rozier is a star player?

Numbers is big business, makes the poor live trife.
The glimmers of hope provoke those without dollars to dream,
Through your existence, become wealthy knowledge is king.

You literally admitted to doing roids. I don’t think a meathead like yourself can label anyone a goof.

Legend also says MJ’s dad was killed because of his degenerate gambling. Yup a victimless activity. lol.

A lot of good fix jobs when it comes to the “gambling mob world” scenarios.

Hard to believe what’s real when it comes to Rose, MJ, Donaghy, and everything now since gambling has been legalized.

I don’t think “legend” is worth taking serious in this world where people believe all manner of things they want. People have posted bullshit “evidence” online supporting theories they will never be able to prove forever.

I’ll stick to what I know.

Yes..gambling like a thousand other things can get out of hand and lead to violence. That doesn’t mean the concept automatically creates victims because the most extreme versions cause trouble. The list of things people have been killed over is too long to list.

That is an issue of people just being evil and general human weakness.

Obviously most forms of gambling are not inherently harmful to anyone and it definitely isn’t anyone’s right to tell anyone else they can or can’t. It’s one of the wildest forms of government overreach to me.

If I have a 20 the idea that I can’t bet it on _____ but I can use it to buy cigarettes and a beer is hilarious.

Someone somewhere taking it too far shouldn’t have anything to do with me.

I can’t exactly go shoot up a school with a bet on the Nuggets but people who oppose the ability to bet often don’t oppose actual tools of long distance murder being readily available.

People are so selective about what rights they think the government should get to strip.

Therr are serious conversations to be had about a lot of things. Guns, drugs, alcohol, smoking….

Some feel a need to throw “I bet you 20 they come back and win!” into that mix because on a large scale it can be damaging and corrupt…but I don’t know much that can’t.

I just don’t know how it’s my business to tell you you can’t put 10 bucks on the Rams. I don’t know from where I’d get that authority over you and not feel like I were doing too much.

But I barely feel like I should be able to tell an adult he can’t do anything that doesn’t let him impose his will on me and others so I’m not the one to make that call I guess.

It was going to happen eventually. The only question was who was going to be stupid enough to get caught and risk it.
