5. [deleted]

7. Bro what the fuck first all our guys get injured now this

8. Draft Kings™ got their man.

9. a Porter brother being involved in a gambling story in their career was -140

10. bruh. we genuinely had hope he was the backup center of the future for us lol. fuckin hell

    nba needs to cut all ties with sports betting

11. bet the under on himself every game easy money

12. He had lines?!

13. If you were betting on jontay porter you deserve it

14. yeah american sports might be in some trouble now that sports gambling is literally everywhere

15. Bro bet his brother’s under on assists

16. The Porter family and being idiots, name a better duo

17. Bro was the only person betting on himself

18. I was ambivalent about it before it happened, but it’s now clear: Legalizing sports betting was a mistake.

19. calvin ridley sends his regards

20. Mans had one last chance, showed out and then fumbled it like this. Get sports betting out of our league

21. Ippei Porter

22. This isn’t good

23. Ohtani influence 🐐🐐

24. it turns out that the irregularities were simply “people were actually betting on Jontay Porter props”

25. This was also Ippei betting on college football

26. Bro thinks he’s Othani

27. its finally happening

28. Not nearly as bad as what MPJ’s other brother Coban did

29. Gobert was right

30. Big yikes

31. We can’t catch a fucking break here. He’s look really good recently.

32. Dude actually bet on himself? holy shit, give him the dumbest motherfucker of the year award right now lol

33. What’s the problem I thought DraftKings and PrizePicks were big sponsors, he’s just supporting

34. Well if this is true there goes his contract

35. I knew this would happen soon with so many betting sponsorships. I didn’t think it would happen this very same season.

36. I do find this news hilarious while the NBA and every sport I watch now shoves betting down my throat every single commercial break and league pass wants to integrate sports betting into it too.

    This is gonna be a massive problem going forward. And the NBA really has itself to blame by fully embracing gambling. With how accessible gambling is there’s gonna be a lot more stories like this coming up.

37. The NBA is really targeting an end of bench player before the refs. Wild. We’re doomed 

38. first of many

39. Breaking news brought to you by Fanduel 😵‍💫

40. Just blame it on your interpreter and you get a free pass

41. “Welcome back to SportsCenter Presented by ESPN Bet, for more on the Ohtani situation we go to our FanDuel MLB Insider Jeff Passan at our DraftKings Studio in Los Angeles brought to you by Caesar’s Sportsbook. Jeff, how could something like this happen?”

42. This timing is legit fucking insane 😭😭😭

43. NBA after fully embracing gambling as a business model:

    “I’m shocked! Shocked to find that gambling is going on in here”

44. He took betting on himself to a whole different level 😂😂😂

45. *Gobert money gesture here*

46. Silver is going to fine Gobert out of spite

47. You’re telling me the most obviously-going-to-happen-at-some-point thing in the world may have happened? No way.

48. If a player, who practically no one knows about, gets offered up as the scapegoat – no bigger name player, NO REFEREE – just imagine what we don’t know yet.

49. Tip of the iceberg. Pro sports not only let the fox into the hen house they put it up in a luxury suite lol. This was never going to end well.

50. Made this claim on JB interview about gambling. It was just a matter of time until players start getting caught gambling.
