Delano Banton (my cousin) told us to take his over on 3s made in his last game of the season with the Blazers because he was going to jack them up.

3 seasons with the Grizzlies = $2.3 million
2-way deal with Raptors = $411k

It's a straight forward and reasonable punishment. You undermine the integrity of the game otherwise.
I do think they should be able to bet on money line for their own team to win (no spreads). I don't think there is anything ethically wrong or a breach in integrity for betting on what your job SHOULD be (i.e. get wins).
Ehh, I could see it leading to more toxic behaviors if players have money on the line game-to-game, which they have only indirectly now. More fights on the court? Teams actually encouraging them to wager if it leads to better performance? Heck, the league itself would be encouraging it at that point. You want competitiveness, but not for everyone to have Michael Jordan's gambling problems.
That said maybe Johntay doesn't get the lifetime ban if he was only betting his and the Raptors' overs. I know many would argue that for Pete Rose. Silver's comment of "issues... including the types of bets offered on our games and players" hints to me that he probably doesn't like the unders or prop bets being a thing.

there might be a few degenerates but I doubt it's that many, as a player in the NBA you are already making bank.

These type of statistical anomalies are easy to identify.
Every gambling site has trend models on what's being bet on which player, so a sudden increase in bets on a player to go under their prop numbers is always going to get flagged.
Well... I guess naivety is a virtue.

MJ would have bet on his team winning not losing.
Barkley was also a compulsive and some say its the reason he had to sell himself out to the mainstream to cover the debts. I truly don't doubt it. Gambling is so F'd.

He made $2.7M gross. After tax, union dues, agent fees, plus typical car, house clothes that rookies buy, dude is already broke. Add on top of that a gambling addiction and legal fees soon. MPJ is gonna be on the hook for his brother's addiction.

That's the craziest part. He thought he was good enough to influence the outcome when he was just a borderline scrub. The team likely could have lost had he stayed in
He didn’t play those games. It would have been crazy controversial had he did.

Re: [Shams] Jontay Porter receives NBA lifetime ban
who wouldn’t bet on the team to lose if they are in the midst of 15 game losing streak.
hopefully he finds success in other leagues. i know he thought of retiring at once.
or he could just have his brother MPJ to fund and run a betting site himself

He has a rich brother he will be fine. His bro will "lend" him money to fund his gambling addict.

Re: [Shams] Jontay Porter receives NBA lifetime ban
This guy's plan was soooooo bad. He needed to just stick to missing shots on purpose or "accidentally" fouling a shooter in a close game or something and getting marginal odds advantage. It doesn't guarantee a win like taking yourself out of the game, but it would be so much harder to figure out.

Hopefully not. Who the hell would even sign a guy like this?

Re: [Shams] Jontay Porter receives NBA lifetime ban
Gotta say...between Jontay getting banned for betting on himself and the other brother recently pleading guilty to killing someone in a DUI car crash...those Porter boys don't make good decisions. Hopefully Michael Jr. doesn't have any skeletons in his closet.
