    The league should do this to Scott Foster and Tony Brothers as well.
  • @justinbutts6697
    Still, I don’t think any sports books should be able to advertise on the nba if this is the result. Refs should be held to the same standard too
  • Chris Boucher gives 100 percent every time on the floor and he was benched for a guy who was activily sabotaging the team. How about playing the guys that actually give s**t.
  • @Elkillvis01
    Could have made that and more by just playing
  • @Matt_76
    He put his brother under the spot light. I'm mad bc he bet against the raptors
  • @marmayers9225
    Raptors need to really investigate in players better outside from ball Terrance Davis - domestic assault  Jalen Harris - suspension for positive drug test. Jotay Porter - Ban for gambling . The front office needs work .
  • @abboudab6794
    Blame nba for making it all about betting, even this channel has/had a betting sponsor.
  • @jgill1064
    CNN reports, according to NBA the  $80,000 bet on the March 20 game was frozen due to the “unusual betting activity and actions of the player,” so 1.1 million has not been paid out, Jontay made nothing on that one. Got what he deserved
  • @giovanni-ed7zq
    @benrogers the props bets were not circumstancial evidence, he relayed he his health to known bettor. typically you may get a handful of jontay under props during the season because he is a nobody. so when you get hundreds of people betting jontay under props loading up with huge cash bets either as single bets or unders parlays on jontay props, thats a huge red flag.
  • @medved4030
    Jontay didn't make a cent of the potential $1.1m winnings because the betting agency flagged the suspicious $80k bet and froze it. As far as I understood it he only made $20k or so with all the other bets. Kinda crazy to risk your entire professional career for a $20k bet.

    How dumb do you have to be to not only do it once but twice. Rip

    I work in the addiction industry, and gambling addiction is a real thing!
  • @profwaynewsmith
    Why not offer Jontay a chance to go to rehab, counseling and try to get clear of this obvious addiction? If he was addicted to drugs and alcohol (another drug) he would be offered this chance to get clean. Why not work with him and maybe giving him the lifetime ban but with the chance to come back if he can get and stay clean for a certain period. Would that not be a good example considering their ad revenue for gambling?
  • Porter is a looser, purposely putting the team down for his own gratification
  • @richardt6256
    Betting on prop bets against himself was very foolish! Are there NBA athletes betting on games with others intentionally by missing baskets affecting scores or losing games intentionally?
  • @timc6870
    This was an easy lifetime ban for them. Had been someone bigger, no lifetime ban.
  • @JjNorf
    Also what about all the refs involved in the bs?
  • @GhostHasIQ
    Well atleast this went down while the tank was on. Cuz if we was actually in the offs an this went down it would be a way bigger deal for us all an a goofy distraction in the locker room. Our players definitely gotta feel a type of way tho fr. Bruh was supposed to be a brother but turned out to be a trash can of a person an teammate.
