Giannis open to moving on (per Shams)

Probably a lot of the top players are involved in gambling sponsorships. I know Jokic is hella enmeshed in Serbian gambling companies. Lebron obviously.

We saw it with Brady, Curry and Shaq with FTX. We've seen it with the sports betting apps -- Lebron and Kevin Hart. And now we're seeing it with the prediction markets -- Giannis.

Pretty wild behavior IMO. Giannis will have made what 400 million dollars on salary alone? What do you even need more money than that for? Certainly not for anything worth selling your supposed scruples for.

This is a logical fallacy that sadly far too many people fell for in 2024. People don’t compare themselves to the average; they compare themselves to their peer group. As they accumulate wealth, they enter new and wealthier peer groups which become the new comparators. There’s no such thing as enough. Giannis showed who he was when he pushed over that ladder in Philadelphia when the arena worker just wanted to take down the nets and go home. This latest stunt is more of the same.
