Default Rozier arrested by FBI for gambling

How stupid can these guys be?

It’s obviously not about money, why are professional athletes getting involved in rigging bets?

There’s no upside and it’s always obvious

NBA could have a massive scandal on their hands here.

Hard to believe gambling has a downside.

Billups is totally separate and related to illegal poker games

Just to clarify

It's basketball, so you are mostly correct.

Pretty crazy for an active head coach to be arrested. I can't remember the last time that happened.

And they're saying the poker games had ties to the mafia...

Include Damon Jones now as well. Who would have thought that mixing gambling and sports so closely together wouldn't result in this?

On the contrary, it is completely about money. Not sure where that notion comes from it doesn’t, you aren’t seeing the superstar top players making or helping bets (except in baseball zinggggg)

Even if they were the superstars once you have money the intention is always to make more not relax because you live comfortably. This all boils down to the almighty dollar

Can’t believe my boy Chauncey Billups lol
