I Guess 6 out of 8 Aint All That Bad… (A Nightmare Week For The Porter Family) 

This story hit close to home. The woman Coban killed in the DUI accident, Kathy, was my friend’s wife. I was in the Air Force with him. It’s crazy how one bad decision can affect so many people. Thanks for covering this.

"Why play defense against Mahomes if he's going to throw for 400 yards...? Because if you don't, he's going to throw for 800 yards!" Loved that line!! LOL

What was so great to hear though is hearing Michael talk about the team last night after game 1 against the lakers. When the media approached him on the topic he said there's 15 more brothers in th locker room with him that are providing him support. I hope that's helping him through this. Michael is kinda known in Denver for being a lil goofball but he's got a good heart and even through all that played a helluva game last night mad respect to him

Flemlo doing basketball! 😱

That title/thumbnail is wild 🤣

MPJ is pretty reflective. I hope he doesn’t find himself thinking that it’s his fault… like, his star in high school was so bright and his brothers couldn’t deal with not being as good, or whatever reason. It’s on those two grown men to act right!

FlemLo = Sports Journalist and Life Coach

Amazing investigative journalism Flem

Better change that title to 5 out of 8. The younger brother was just arrested on suspected DWI just a week after this vid.

Disagree completely about gambling in sports. IT SHOULD NOT BE PROMOTED BY SPORTS LEAGUES. IT'S HYPOCRITICAL‼️‼️‼️

F Lo doing basketball stories is goated

my boy in between them retwists hadda throw the hat on today 😂😂

spittin 🔥 tragic events but this is exactly the message to take away. empathy and critical thought. respect.

you always got the right message at the right time. i appreciate you bro

Sir, you are a wonderful light onto the world. Your football storytelling and commentary is outstanding .But your personal insights are even better.

Had not heard the other brothers story and it’s a horrible one. Thanks for the coverage Flem

It's good that Coban apologized, I'm glad he didnt follow his lawyer's advice.

4:55 lolllll the Pistons shade

Yo the breakdowns, examples, and comparisons were so on point, keep it going.

man. Was hoping you’d cover this. I know it’s not Football but excited as ever you covered this

If there was ever a time to do a basketball video it was now. Keep it up Flemlo!!!!!

Each Flem vid has lessons to learn and remember.

Bro…. You are TOO REAL 💪🏾💯🙏🏾

Thanks Flem, another very empathetic show!

Rough week is an understatement! Would love to see more basketball content if you're considering doing so. Lots of things going on lol What's crazy is that the bets were nowhere near what he makes in the league. Something more is going on in this story imo

Love your content my guy. I hope that you cover basketball stories more often in the near future.

My thought about sports betting is similar to contests: terms and conditions apply. If Apple does an iPhone giveaway, there's probably a condition saying employees and their families cannot participate. Similarly, I think a simple family sports betting exclusion could be a good start. Then maybe include employees of the NBA and arenas. I personally don't bet on sports, and think its presence in the public is both a positive and a negative. Those with the skills can secure their bag. But those with addictions can now slip into a spiral more easily.

I’m here because I saw a video about the family ..how the two sisters had to medically retire ..2 brothers with DUIs and one banned from the leauge ..I hope the youngest children maybe play basketball but also try to excel at something different and make their own way .Much respect to MPJ . His focus while his family struggles I couldn’t imagine

Planting seeds for that NBA channel. 😂

I'm happy u did a basketball insight I hope u do more basketball and football deep dives too.

Flemlo for president. (Since you vaguely mentioned politics). Seriously though, you've got my vote, just run, should be easy.

Well done video. Yeah, i probably should have sat this video out on a Sunday. It was eye opening and depressing. Well done. Very informative

"Without replacing even a Porter of what they lose" would have been PERFECT! 👌🏿

The Pistons reference sent me to the floor. Damn. Lol.

Flemlo covering basketball now?

Great video. I would love to see more nba stories on this channel.

One of the best 3 channels on RU-vid

The league partnering with sports betting and not letting players bet is no different than companies doing prize/cash giveaways and not letting their employees participate. They have an u fair advantage and opportunity to directly affect who wins if anyone outside of themselves win.

Need to UPDATE the headline to .... "5" out of 8 now!!!!! 😂😂😂

Absolute bars. You a wise man sir💯

I know this a football channel. But you way to talented to keep it there. I down for a great story no matter the sport.

My guy is about to hit 1M subs.

Awesome vid flem!

7:54 Thanks for giving us the perfect “How to really be thinkin’ about shit,” pose !!

We went years without sanctioned sports betting. It doesn't help anyone except business owners.

9:55 no flem, keep it rolling 😂

Its not a hard thing to notice that alot of these kids who come from these religious families dont learn the proper social skills needed to survive alone...I saw many docs about this family and the way of life for them seemed to revolve around God, Baskteball and Family which is fine for perception but now with whats happened to the boys you gotta wonder if they were maybe exposed to a lil more would they have a better handle on the degree that they do things

I remember the brothers were a dou in HS. Saw them play Marvin Badgley on Espn. Didn't realize Johntay made it until the scandal.

4:57 Pistons sniped by a mean stray 😂😂

Jontay Porter wasn’t even trying to hide the fact he was cheating. A lot of RU-vid videos out there explaining things when Porter first got popped for this. That “eye injury” he left out of the game for was so obvious he was lying. He got 3 quick board and couldn’t have more than 4. 😂

Very tragic outcomes for many 😢

Every action has a reaction. Consequences to the choices you make. People need to remember that. Imagine putting in the work to get to the NBA, decide you aren't going to work anymore. Just bet on your own game's to make money. How damn dumb!

How many kids is too many kids for a family to have before it becomes odd? Like having 8 kids? I feel like every family that I’ve heard of or know of that has more than 5 total children in one family always gets kind of odd

HE ONLY GOT 6 YEARS?! 😮

7:52 lol Love you Flemlo

I have no issue with Porter getting banned but I do have an issue with leagues letting, in my opinion, worse criminals get away with their crimes. Now obviously with everything theres nuance. Like how for example Henry Ruggs is in jail so the NFL literally can't let him play but theres literal rapists, domestic abusers, even a handful of murderers among other horrific crimes that have been allowed to play because they are good at a sport. I know it's a bigger issue than the leagues itself but for the NBA to crackdown so quickly on Porter while barely if even taking a look at dozens of other cases in the league is just so so disgusting to me

I think you should be able to bet on your team to win honestly. If my guy has 100,000 G's on it, it feels like I'm about to get a performance. Lol

Flem can you do a video on how Jacksonville got the jaguars

So if I’m a senator, and I’m about to give a government contract to a company, it’s OK if I buy stocks and make a boatload of money before the news becomes public, right?

Outstanding job 👏🏾

I think league's banning players from gambling all together is a preventive measure, letting players gamble would open them up to a world of temptation and possibly lead them down a road of addiction and bad decisions Had to mention that these leagues are turning 19+ year old men into multi millionaires and allowing them to gamble while they're a player would be a terrible thing

Makes me grateful for what I have

NEED MORE BBALL CONTENT FLEM!

Nightmare week fueled by irresponsible people making terrible decisions, those things could have been avoided. Unfortunately one of those terrible decisions cost someone their life.

I pray for the family. Sad story

The other night a 3rd brother got arrested for a DUI. I feel so bad for M.P. Jr. This is the first time I ever felt like sending money to a millionaire basketball player.

The irony that the raptors lost to the pistons is not lost on me

That part 2 pivot interview gonna hit

Aye man, the Pistons beat the Raptors when they played....twice!!

I just said the same thing yesterday when I heard about the second brother getting into something, like can the porters catch a break this year??

I like that Usher/Swizzbeats line 😂

This Jontay Porter situation is just the tip of the iceberg, I believe this sports betting thing is gonna get WAY worse before they are able to get a grip on it it. I believe that is why Silver dropped the hammer on him. They want to send a message

When you are so used to having your way your entire life this is what happens.

It's generally hard to wrestle with judging the outcomes of other people's actions. When you know that yours could of caused seriously negative outcomes as well. I personally don't know how to digest that fact.

Maybe your best video, to date...

Betting is going to get worse. As teenagers are betting like crazy

The original flight mike

The most stupid thing about the Jontay Porter situation is that he was a two player so he wasn't guaranteed to be back with the Raptors next year, and I heard that he only profited 21,000 dollars. So...why would you fake injuries and bet against your own team instead of focusing on going out and playing as good and hard as you can so you can get a standard multiyear contract worth MILLIONS instead lol. He ruined his chance to make millions so he could bet and only profit thousands.

His brothers are some damn knuckleheads 🤦🏾‍♂️💀😂😂😂

A gambler gets banned but you "refuse" to investigate an alleged child molester or hold him accountable for his actions in any way whatsoever? The NBA is a joke!

Well said 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🙏🏾

no one talks abt how this dude hair grows a x10 speed what’s the method tell us

That Usher line 😂

7:32 - I think the leagues and sports networks promoting and advertising gambling is meant for the viewer/fan. Players weren't meant to see these ads because they air during the games that the players are playing in. I mean the messaging is very fan-centric. I think that as a professional athlete and especially now knowing the story of Pete Rose in baseball, it should be more obvious that betting is not allowed, to be honest all forms of gambling is not allowed at least till after their career is done. The reason is because they can be put in a position to affect the integrity of the games they play in (for example, point shaving, or throwing games). I think it's fair to have clauses like that in their contracts. There are clauses in contracts of people who work in casinos that prohibit them from gambling on their free time so it isn't unprecedented (although the reasons may be different).

Favorite sports vids on yt

Your videos that deal with serious incidents and shortcomings should be part of a rookie athletes intro into their respective sports. Maybe a couple more could be turned away from being reckless. 🙏

Honestly I wouldn't mind if flem covered more basketball

How the fuck did I miss this on my sub feed

Betting against your team is 100% wrong and should be banned forlufe

He hit a huge 3 last night to tie the game last night 96-99

What site he been on cuh!? 🤷🏿‍♂️🤭

well said bro well said

As a Lakers fan I was kinda hoping this would just be too much for mpj to focus lol…he’s a 🐕 tho

I am surprised that Michael play decent against the Lakers even though all of this is going on in his private life. I am glad that he didn’t take off the playoff games. Flemlo , you can talk NBA and other sports on your channel. You’re better off being well rounded

You look like you was blowin the zaa before this video 😂

The Pistons line lol

This one hit me 😢

I don't see a problem in betting on your team winning(but any kind of betting on say the amount of points scored or how big the lead will be is just wrong)

PLEASE DO A VIDEO COVERING THE CORMANI MCLAIN SITUATION

I love your content Flem, but I’m Tryyyyying not to take that shot at my Detroit Pistons personally🤨
