EDIT: Wait, are they also alleging he was betting on NBA games while on the roster?
Of course they're making an example of him. As they should. If they allow this kind of activity to be commonplace, it destroys the integrity of the league completely.

Told ya, the NBA and the Gambling industry were salivating at this opportunity to look like they have integrity.
What Jontay did was a dumb mistake and he'll pay far greater then the crime he committed. But the NBA had no choice with such a massive money making scam going on in an already suspect league.
Hope Jontay gets support from those around him to move on.

I do think it's too harsh a penalty considering how much the NBA pushes gambling.

Jontay probably is a smart guy - he just overestimated his ability to keep gambling influence secret.

If he bet against the Raptors he needs to go to prison. What an idiot, his just another dumb Porter brother I guess.

Yeah that's messed. Especially if you have a direct impact on the game. It's a shame for Porter. He could have had a long NBA career but instead he'll be playing in China if they would even accept him after this news.

Go to prison? You think he attempted to murder someone the way some here talk.
The only reason he's even getting the severe punishment as severe as he is, is because he NBA has no room to look soft with so much money to be made from gambling.
He made a boneheaded mistake and paid the greatest punishment possible. Prison? Cmon.

Porter will go down as a legendary tank commander.

If I managed a team anywhere in the world I wouldn’t hire this dude. If I ran a business, I wouldn’t hire him. And I wouldn’t work with any business he has or is a part of either.
not strong, only aggresive cuz the power ain't directed/ that's why, we are subjected to the will of the oppressive

Really dumb move by Porter. Predictable Silver would never do this to a superstar. He's clearly railroading a scrub to send a message to the rest of the league.
Can we stop with the hosts of every sporting event covering the betting odds on pregame shows? This was bound to happen with the constant focus on it of late.

This also highlights how lame the NBA is. Gambling gets a lifetime ban. Meanwhile Miles Bridges is still playing
I think in general if you try to scam a business entity, you're going to get a worse punishment than if you do something criminal to another person. It's not just the NBA but how North America works in general
