The league should do this to Scott Foster and Tony Brothers as well.
Why? They haven't been on the sportsbooks.
@@jdon2638 Thanks for this sensical comment. Many people just want to hate of refs because they're the easy scapegoat. For some reason many basketball fans have become incredibly conspiratorial and have no issue dehumanizing refs, or throwing life-altering accusations their way.
@@illDefine1 Of course, I was joking because there's no actual evidence, but you can't blame fans for being conspiratorial. Do you think Chris Paul's 3-17 record against Scott Foster is just a coincidence?
@adrianau6679 I didn't know Scott Foster played.
He’s the one that calls the game. 🤷🏻♂️ By your logic, guess the Lakers-Kings Game 6 in 2002 is not rigged.
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
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.
Great point. Shame on Raps management
@@soulstice99how the fuck would the raptors have known before 💀
Raptors should be compensated! We need two centre’s now WOW!
This is a mess and horrible press for the raps..I think they just wanna coast threw to next season..no harm no foul..😁
Could have made that and more by just playing
He put his brother under the spot light. I'm mad bc he bet against the raptors
The new tank commander 🫡
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 .
none showed signs, they cant be mind readers
TD's case was dismissed. He has no criminal record, friend.
@@IceManLikeGervin Davis' case was dismissed due to a settlement. Threre was no criminal investigation. There's a huge difference. BTW aren't you the guy who's still talking after everyone proved you wrong about Jontay? Some people never learn.
@@illDefine1 It was dismissed, friend. The New York District Attorney's Office dismissed domestic assault charges against Toronto Raptors guard Terence Davis on Friday. Davis had faced several charges after he and his girlfriend allegedly got into a verbal dispute at a New York hotel on Oct. 27. The District Attorney's Office confirmed in an email to The Canadian Press that five charges had been dismissed. The judge granted an Adjournment in Contemplation of Dismissal (Family ACD) on two counts: endangering the welfare of a child and criminal mischief. Under the Family ACD, Davis' case is dismissed in one year provided he has no new arrests and abides by the Order of Protection.
@@illDefine1 No one proved me wrong about Jontay. I was waiting for the actual evidence to be presented not going on news reports. Now that the factual evidence has been presented, he received the punishment that Adam Silver deemed appropriate. All the best.
Blame nba for making it all about betting, even this channel has/had a betting sponsor.
Yup almost every CZcamsrs are sponsored by these gambling sites. It’s sickening
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
Wow he had potential but rules are a must...😢
@benrogers the props bets were not circumstancial evidence, he relayed he his health to known bettor. typically you may get a handful of jontay under props during the season because he is a nobody. so when you get hundreds of people betting jontay under props loading up with huge cash bets either as single bets or unders parlays on jontay props, thats a huge red flag.
Yea Red flag like you say, not definitive evidence. Like Ben said
@@scottiedpoy8508 look at it this way, we havent seen the evidence but i am sure they have plenty having given jontay porter a life time ban in the nba. thats gonna be done with evidence, and he has to look at the legal issues he has with the various state gaming commisions now where he faces criminal charges and jail time as well.
@@scottiedpoy8508 the nba lifetime ban is the least of his problem. jontay is fawked and looking at criminal charges and jail time is his reality, as well as huge fines from the states. so jontays journey into adversity is just starting. he lucky his brother is a millionaire so when he gets out of jail, he wont be on the streets.
@@giovanni-ed7zqI agree he's an idiot and is fawked but he won't do any time and likely won't face criminal charges. The 1.1M wasn't paid out as it was flagged and he can easily talk/buy his way out of that one. Jontay's smaller bets aren't worth the time for DA to go after him. No previous record wither. Lifetime ban fits though.
@@shoheio961 you are forgetting the FBI is involved and the colorado gaming commision is doing an investigation into jontay porter. that could well lead to jail time. the nba life time ban of jontay is the least of his worries. DOJ will be looking at jontay porter for fixing games, and they will have those involved testify against jontay and provide the evidence of texts, calls etch.
Jontay didn't make a cent of the potential $1.1m winnings because the betting agency flagged the suspicious $80k bet and froze it. As far as I understood it he only made $20k or so with all the other bets. Kinda crazy to risk your entire professional career for a $20k bet.
How dumb do you have to be to not only do it once but twice. Rip
I work in the addiction industry, and gambling addiction is a real thing!
Preach brotha
When you only bet on parlays you know 100% will come true, that's not an gambling addiction. Quit turning dishonest millionaires into victims.
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?
No!
I get what you mean bit sadly when you embezzle money through your job, typically you get fired regardless of your reason for doing it. NBA is a public-facing organization so they can't just sweep stuff like this under the rug like some companies can do behind closed doors. Fans won't tolerate spending their hard-earned money on a millionaire who'd rather tank his own game than just playing the game straight up.
I wish it could be like that but this punishment is not just for him but to also let every other player know this won't be tolerated at all.
Seriously this is the most inconceivably ridiculous statement I've ever heard. You clearly don't know what a gambling addiction looks like. Jontay was not losing money, he was gaining money on bets he knew 100% would come true. These are not the normal attributes of addicted thrill-seekers. That's just pure dishonesty from a straight up CON ARTIST. Rehab won't do anything to curb his behavior. In reality, what he needs is jail time.
Stop portraying this man as a victim. There are clearly hundreds of players more deserving of his spot in the nba who would be unbelievably grateful with the 2mil+ he's made in 3 years in the nba.
Hell no
Porter is a looser, purposely putting the team down for his own gratification
The definition of a looser honestly
"loser". You are losing at the spelling game.
It was bound to happen to some young kid. You can't advertise gambling everywhere, every few seconds, getting people hooked like a drug and expect everyone to behave as 80 year old gentlemen. It's going to wreck a lot more lives than Jontay's.
It's gross. Can't wait for another Black Sox scandal to look forward to. We'll see if Scott Foster is involved.
Betting on prop bets against himself was very foolish! Are there NBA athletes betting on games with others intentionally by missing baskets affecting scores or losing games intentionally?
This was an easy lifetime ban for them. Had been someone bigger, no lifetime ban.
Also what about all the refs involved in the bs?
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.
JONTAY "THE JACKAL" PORTER was sloppy and got caught red handed gambling on NBA games and the raptors to lose, as well as jontay under props
100% accurate
totally expendable player gets made an example of.
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.
Its crazy because as a fan, you cant watch sports or even sports coverage without a sports betting ad. How do you keep young players who grow up in this environment from gambling when it is so normalized in society? As a player this is a bad thing. so now he's not a player, is he just a savvy betting dude now? Like how bad is this really? I think not calling carrying the ball or travels are more detrimental but I see the slippery slope here and Silver is trying to maintain the image that this sport hasnt been in bed with bookies for decades.
I have a strong suspicion that Jontay is not the only one, I guarantee he learned this from someone and players on the low are doing similar. players, refs... trainers lol.. they are all probably betting, they just arent throwing games like that, and doing it twice in a span that will bring notice.
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!
This is just stupidity on Jontay Porter in every direction you look at it. He is not a potential superstar or even considered an impact player, but he is talented enough to stay in the league as a role player off the bench making anywhere between 3-5M a season. He is in his early 20s and can certainly stick around the league for 10+ years and make up to maybe 30-50M in his career. To throw all that away over a few hundred thousand dollars is just simply stupid. I can't even feel sorry for the guy because he did it to himself. The rest of us here don't have his talent and are earning average salaries are thinking "what a pity."
Should masai ujiri be banned? Tanking, scandals and lawsuits...where is the uproar
Sport books and the stock market are for suckers. The rich guys who have the power to manipulate the market or the players such as CEOs, politicians, the ultra wealthy are the only ones allowed to make money. Everything is set up so the uninformed little guy loses. Gambling is an addiction like anything else and those vultures prey on them. I had a roommate/friend that seemed to have a knack for playing the stock market. I was told that his portfolio was up to 1.4 million. Something very suspicious happened and his stock(s) dropped off a cliff. By the time he was realized that he had been "pumped and dumped" he had all but $75000 to his name, which put him in a deep depreciation and he ended up hanging himself. This all happened about 15 years ago. Life simply isn't fair.
Betting big on only a few bets you know will 100% come to fruition is not a gambling problem. He's a con artist, plain and simple. Otherwise, yes I agree with you. Every business is there to make a profit, otherwise they're not a business. While I'm sorry about your friend who seems a victim to this this industry, Jontay is not. He's the typical example of how having money can make it easy to illegitimately steal money if you're a con artist.
L A Angels players introduced ippei to the bookie, what do you think is going on there. Spors betting is as dumb as betting on horse races.
that's insane
Jontay Porter Story- how he bet on himself, and came out with a handful of shit, and how bubba had a 4 year party on his ass in a 5 by 8 cell.
Is Porter the only player who is involved in illegal betting? The scandal is not over. NBA is lying about it.
This is beyond idiotic. Good thing his older bro is on a 5y 180m contract most people wouldn't be able to recover from this kind of blunder.
I strongly suspected this would be the outcome...bad, bad choice by jpj
Wym this is exactly what I thought would happen, if you thought anything otherwise, you smokin that zaza lol
Is it legal to bet the overs? AKA betting on yourself
Great take brother ...Total grifter .You simply cannot bet on the sport you participate in...
Johntay Nooo😢, they got him 😢
If raps lose their #6 pick this season will be a total wash. Just another big L for Masai who has completely mismanaged this team the last couple of seasons
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
Yes we would have heard about it. First of all, the league wants to make an example of these players and make it as public as possible. Secondly, he's under criminal investigation, which is outside of the purview of the nba. Thirdly, this premise makes no sense to begin with because there was a 0% chance he wouldn't hit under on his parlays.
I could be wrong but I’m pretty sure they froze that 80,000 bet so there was no payout of 1.1 million
Yea they did. Sports Books monitor that stuff very heavily especially when its for that much money.
I guess Freds motto bet on yourself should not be taken literally.
A few Officials should be banned as well. We know the ref's are doing this as well.
No we don't. There is no such thing as 100% proof in the court of law, there is only evidence to 'prove beyond a reasonable doubt'. There is tons of evidence for Jontay, where's the evidence for the refs? I know it's popular to hate on the refs, but these are real people's lives. Grow up.
Scott Foster has done way more damage to the league.
good. no remorse
Where that Coolbet at?
Hopefully no jail time.
Well deserved. He messed up.
Man’s a hustler 😂
The fact he bet AGAINST his team tells you everything you need to know about his competitiveness. Loser. Bum. Degenerate.
Unfortunately he ruined a promising career and hurt the raptors and his teammates along the way.
💡MAYBE just MAYBE..The Legue will see this misfortune that has fallen on the raptors, and replenish this lost accet with GRACE and LUCK and WITH THE 6TH PICK OF THE 2024 NBA DRAFT, THE RAPTORS SELECT!!... Amen!!!
The spurs don't deserve punishment for this.
Greed and entitlement. He thinks money can be made easily, bypassing the hard-working route traversed by the common people like you and I.
Goodnight sweet prince ...enjoy playing for Kazimierz hamsters in Pakistan 😅
He should be banned from the city of Toronto what a waste
OH SHUT UP
He needs to go to prison. What a disgrace.
OH SHUT UP
I knew he was guilty smh
I dont see anything wrong🤷🏾
With what he did, or with his punishment?
@@notDonaldFagen both😄
He was sent to ruin the raptors name. The nba is a sham and a disgrace. Adam silver should resign asap. He has wrecked the brand
What a degenerate loser
Ayeee
