Allegedly his long time friend Damon Jones traded information on LeBron missing a 2023 game and encouraged others to bet on it.

Will this finally be the news that kills LeBron’s rep as a person?

This is more about Damon Jones.

Either way, it's yet another instance of NBA corruption. This probably deserves to be investigated.

To be clear, he’s not implicated at all. The story is that Jones knew that LeBron going to be missing the game vs Milwaukee in 2023 and told others to bet on it. No reporting to LeBron having any connection to the gambling like Rozier or Porter did. I don’t think this reflects on him

LeBron’s rep will be killed because someone else illegally bet on him?

WHAT DID LEBRON KNOW AND WHEN DID HE KNOW IT??!

A) Probably nothing, he isn't involved

Lebron just announced he's retiring from the NBA to play baseball with the Dodgers.

Not a LeBron stan by any means, but I literally trust this FBI zero percent. It’s well known they’re going out of their way to target those on the left or who don’t slurp dear leader’s balls, so yeah, I’m going to need some convincing evidence from Kash Patel. Good luck with that.

I think pushing his son (who struggled to score in college), into the NBA just after cardiac arrest, was the last straw.

So we have a story about Damon Jones being a dumb ass and RGM is like:

“LeBron involved in a gambling controversy!!!”

I'd comment on the stupid criticisms of Lebron like creating a thread where he did nothing wrong but using a title to make him look bad, but then will get told I'm just making it up and people are able to evaluate him without emotion or agenda.

SMH

OP is desperate. Haters desperately hoped that LeBron would be implicated in Diddy's illegal activities (while the trial showed that the only notable celebrity involved in the freakoffs was Diddy himself). Now, they are desperately trying to connect LeBron to this gambling stuff.

Shameless behavior lol.

Putting LeBron's name in the title instead of the person who actually committed the crime is wrong.

Not the biggest Lebron fan by any means, but I simply can't see Lebron being involved in illegal gambling to make a few bucks, especially considering Lebron is obsessed with making his image as clean as possible.
