I will increase the gayness if required.


He definitely did it, not sure what is wrong  with these guys. Jontay porter in TO was doing it and he was just about to make some life changing money.

Arenas was in something similar. The boys have problems. Big hard long problems. The girth or better yet the breadth of the crime is difficult to swallow.

I am not at all surprised. Hopefully they take down a few refs too.

This is you trolling again.  I doubt you actually know the underlying facts.  I have no idea at this point if he “did it.”  Neither do you.

But unless they are rigging games or stealing from people, I don’t see what the big deal is.

Anyone who broke the law should be held accountable.

I am a pretty big b ball fan, watch as many games as I can. Every raps game. They will win tonight

I believe he was accused of bringing in fish to a rigged game under the guise of playing with billups. Everyone but the fish was in on it so the fish would ostensibly lose all their money. It's definitely fraud and likely theft. I have no idea if he did it,  of course, I was trolling and trying to gay the thread up. Apparently they used special lenses to see marked cards face down.

I know the NBA is mired in betting scandals- rozier also looks to be in trouble and damon jones amongst others. Porter was caught last year for the raps.

I also know gambling is huge in the nba, arenas outlines that and it is the catalyst for arenas and crittentons gun debacle. Arenas also recently got caught up in some gambling bullshit very similar to billups.
