The NBA wants 1 percent of every bet made on its games in addition to other regulations, a request that could create massive revenue for the NBA and other sports leagues in the future.

Spillane also said the NBA wants more widespread access to gambling for its fans, pushing for bets to be made legal on smartphones and kiosks and not just inside casinos and racetracks. That would increase the amount of wagering and, in turn, create more revenue for the league under its desired plan.

The U.S. Supreme Court is considering a New Jersey-based case that could clear the way for individual states to legalize sports betting at casinos and racetracks.

What reason, other than they just want more money, is there to justify the NBA collecting money on sports bets that they aren't a party to in anyway. Screw them.

I am laughing at the NBA for this.
Leave to an American business to try to change things.
Betting in our country is limited already so we'll just dive right with the NBA profiting greatly. Makes no sense!
