    A lot of the people in these comments seem to have completely missed the point of what he did. The “inside info” was about when he took himself out of a game(faked injury) so that he wouldn’t play his usual minutes to hit an over on his box score, and told a bettor he was going to do so beforehand. That is manipulating both the game and the betting on it. Doesn’t have anything to do with how good he is or if they lost the game. And that was just one instance. Dude might get jail time for this, not just a ban.

    Specifically, The Lakers vs. Pelicans, play-in game on Sunday.
    If you think about the fact that the likes of prominent announcers, who have "inner circle knowledge" and "networking" to the workings of the game can make such "a matter of fact statement" about potential thought processes of players/teams in the game, what makes you think "gambling insiders" aren't far off?

This is a mental health issue and instead of making an example of him by banning him the NBA should have provided treatment Some may disagree but there is a reason why every betting ad states if you have a gambling problem please seek help. There are NBA player that have done heinous things like beating their wife or girlfriend but they still play in the league.

    Dude tried to be Pete Rose. However I get why sports betting is popular so it can fund how sports arenas and stadiums are paid for. Yet allowing the advertisements of betting in sports is kinda bad.

    when it gets too obvious that the NBA and refs are rigged like a ship, ya gotta find a fall guy to divert attention...
    "hey, Jontay, $60 million and a referee job if you run into that bridge"
    how much ya think NBA Entertainment paid him for it?

    This won't stop players, or coaches from doing it because Porter got caught only because he was blatant, and stupid with it.

    If you don't play for the Raptors you know they're gonna lose most of their games, you don't need inside info. If he bet on them to win he would of been broke

    I don't know why people are acting surprised when things like this happen, NBA is promoting gambling like their life depends on it, you have referees gifting free throws to players like embiid and sga... No wonder why this became a thing
