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

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.

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).

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....
