It really bugs me that people are using them catching him as some kind of endorsement of legalized gambling’s ability to catch people. He might as well have taken out an Ad talking about his gambling.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?
Please advise….

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

Great job Adam Silver
There is nothing wrong as I see it on an athlete betting on other sport
I would argue even this is wrong. These guys have way more access to information than the average person. They would know about injuries etc through friends or agents. It's essentially the same as insider trading.
So you're saying businessmen can't trade stocks of other businesses because they have more access to information? I dno if that's the way the world works.
I don't think there's much wrong with a NBA player betting on boxing...or the NHL....

Sophisticated cheating would be very difficult to catch, but that's why it's considered sophisticated. People that actually cheat tend to be very bad at it. Someone that's doing this in the first thing is extremely greedy, they're not going to leave things up to chance and that's why they get caught.

On the bright side for Jontay, since he's no longer employed by the NBA he can legally partake in his favorite pastime....

It's amazing how much gambling has infiltrated society.
It's everywhere. Kids are also exposed to gambling via loot boxes in video games. Sports games are especially egregious in this regard. If you want the best players for your team, you're going to be spending hundreds/thousands of dollars to acquire them via "games of chance" (you open packs that have a miniscule chance of containing the player you want), and then you're going to do it again the following year when the new game comes out. All mobile games are structured this way, too. Kids get exposed to mobile games when they get their first phone or tablet (which tends to be a very young age these days). This **** needs to be made illegal (Belgium and the Netherlands have banned loot box mechanics in games, but most countries don't care).

You would think an NBA player that doesn’t want to get banned from the league.

Gambling was always there for kids. Growing up in my time, kids were gambling with Pogs, Crazy Bones, and Pokemon cards. Rampant as hell.
