This is Even CRAZIER Than we Thought... Jontay Porter BANNED from NBA | Raptors News 

The league should do this to Scott Foster and Tony Brothers as well.

Still, I don’t think any sports books should be able to advertise on the nba if this is the result. Refs should be held to the same standard too

Chris Boucher gives 100 percent every time on the floor and he was benched for a guy who was activily sabotaging the team. How about playing the guys that actually give s**t.

Raptors should be compensated! We need two centre’s now WOW!

Could have made that and more by just playing

He put his brother under the spot light. I'm mad bc he bet against the raptors

Raptors need to really investigate in players better outside from ball Terrance Davis - domestic assault Jalen Harris - suspension for positive drug test. Jotay Porter - Ban for gambling . The front office needs work .

Blame nba for making it all about betting, even this channel has/had a betting sponsor.

CNN reports, according to NBA the $80,000 bet on the March 20 game was frozen due to the “unusual betting activity and actions of the player,” so 1.1 million has not been paid out, Jontay made nothing on that one. Got what he deserved

Wow he had potential but rules are a must...😢

@benrogers the props bets were not circumstancial evidence, he relayed he his health to known bettor. typically you may get a handful of jontay under props during the season because he is a nobody. so when you get hundreds of people betting jontay under props loading up with huge cash bets either as single bets or unders parlays on jontay props, thats a huge red flag.

Jontay didn't make a cent of the potential $1.1m winnings because the betting agency flagged the suspicious $80k bet and froze it. As far as I understood it he only made $20k or so with all the other bets. Kinda crazy to risk your entire professional career for a $20k bet.

How dumb do you have to be to not only do it once but twice. Rip

I work in the addiction industry, and gambling addiction is a real thing!

Why not offer Jontay a chance to go to rehab, counseling and try to get clear of this obvious addiction? If he was addicted to drugs and alcohol (another drug) he would be offered this chance to get clean. Why not work with him and maybe giving him the lifetime ban but with the chance to come back if he can get and stay clean for a certain period. Would that not be a good example considering their ad revenue for gambling?

Porter is a looser, purposely putting the team down for his own gratification

Betting on prop bets against himself was very foolish! Are there NBA athletes betting on games with others intentionally by missing baskets affecting scores or losing games intentionally?

This was an easy lifetime ban for them. Had been someone bigger, no lifetime ban.

Also what about all the refs involved in the bs?

Well atleast this went down while the tank was on. Cuz if we was actually in the offs an this went down it would be a way bigger deal for us all an a goofy distraction in the locker room. Our players definitely gotta feel a type of way tho fr. Bruh was supposed to be a brother but turned out to be a trash can of a person an teammate.

JONTAY "THE JACKAL" PORTER was sloppy and got caught red handed gambling on NBA games and the raptors to lose, as well as jontay under props

totally expendable player gets made an example of.

Porter did everyone a favor, #1 Someone was eventually going to try this #2 Someone was going to try it with the Raptors because it's Canada. He did it in one swoop, it's done, hopefully no one tries again for a while.

Its crazy because as a fan, you cant watch sports or even sports coverage without a sports betting ad. How do you keep young players who grow up in this environment from gambling when it is so normalized in society? As a player this is a bad thing. so now he's not a player, is he just a savvy betting dude now? Like how bad is this really? I think not calling carrying the ball or travels are more detrimental but I see the slippery slope here and Silver is trying to maintain the image that this sport hasnt been in bed with bookies for decades. I have a strong suspicion that Jontay is not the only one, I guarantee he learned this from someone and players on the low are doing similar. players, refs... trainers lol.. they are all probably betting, they just arent throwing games like that, and doing it twice in a span that will bring notice.

The NBA (and most sports leagues these days) are owned by sports betters and I'm sure these betters were pissed that they had to pay out over $1-million on a $80,000 bet. This is why the NBA investigated Jontay Porter and cracked down on him. Sports betters have a heavy presence in the league and its policies: it's been argued that the new player participation/load management policy is to ensure that star players play to protect sports betting odds. Is it a coincidence that the inaugural in-season tournament was held in Vegas?!? Like all things in our modern world, if you want to seek the truth, follow the money!

This is just stupidity on Jontay Porter in every direction you look at it. He is not a potential superstar or even considered an impact player, but he is talented enough to stay in the league as a role player off the bench making anywhere between 3-5M a season. He is in his early 20s and can certainly stick around the league for 10+ years and make up to maybe 30-50M in his career. To throw all that away over a few hundred thousand dollars is just simply stupid. I can't even feel sorry for the guy because he did it to himself. The rest of us here don't have his talent and are earning average salaries are thinking "what a pity."

Should masai ujiri be banned? Tanking, scandals and lawsuits...where is the uproar

Sport books and the stock market are for suckers. The rich guys who have the power to manipulate the market or the players such as CEOs, politicians, the ultra wealthy are the only ones allowed to make money. Everything is set up so the uninformed little guy loses. Gambling is an addiction like anything else and those vultures prey on them. I had a roommate/friend that seemed to have a knack for playing the stock market. I was told that his portfolio was up to 1.4 million. Something very suspicious happened and his stock(s) dropped off a cliff. By the time he was realized that he had been "pumped and dumped" he had all but $75000 to his name, which put him in a deep depreciation and he ended up hanging himself. This all happened about 15 years ago. Life simply isn't fair.

L A Angels players introduced ippei to the bookie, what do you think is going on there. Spors betting is as dumb as betting on horse races.

that's insane

Jontay Porter Story- how he bet on himself, and came out with a handful of shit, and how bubba had a 4 year party on his ass in a 5 by 8 cell.

Is Porter the only player who is involved in illegal betting? The scandal is not over. NBA is lying about it.

This is beyond idiotic. Good thing his older bro is on a 5y 180m contract most people wouldn't be able to recover from this kind of blunder.

I strongly suspected this would be the outcome...bad, bad choice by jpj

Wym this is exactly what I thought would happen, if you thought anything otherwise, you smokin that zaza lol

Is it legal to bet the overs? AKA betting on yourself

Great take brother ...Total grifter .You simply cannot bet on the sport you participate in...

Johntay Nooo😢, they got him 😢

If raps lose their #6 pick this season will be a total wash. Just another big L for Masai who has completely mismanaged this team the last couple of seasons

What’s even crazier they didn’t pay out the million dollar bet but had he lost his 80k we wouldn’t heard a word about it

I could be wrong but I’m pretty sure they froze that 80,000 bet so there was no payout of 1.1 million

I guess Freds motto bet on yourself should not be taken literally.

A few Officials should be banned as well. We know the ref's are doing this as well.

Scott Foster has done way more damage to the league.

good. no remorse

Where that Coolbet at?

Hopefully no jail time.

Well deserved. He messed up.

Man’s a hustler 😂

The fact he bet AGAINST his team tells you everything you need to know about his competitiveness. Loser. Bum. Degenerate.

Unfortunately he ruined a promising career and hurt the raptors and his teammates along the way.

💡MAYBE just MAYBE..The Legue will see this misfortune that has fallen on the raptors, and replenish this lost accet with GRACE and LUCK and WITH THE 6TH PICK OF THE 2024 NBA DRAFT, THE RAPTORS SELECT!!... Amen!!!

Greed and entitlement. He thinks money can be made easily, bypassing the hard-working route traversed by the common people like you and I.

Goodnight sweet prince ...enjoy playing for Kazimierz hamsters in Pakistan 😅

He should be banned from the city of Toronto what a waste

He needs to go to prison. What a disgrace.

I knew he was guilty smh

I dont see anything wrong🤷🏾

He was sent to ruin the raptors name. The nba is a sham and a disgrace. Adam silver should resign asap. He has wrecked the brand

What a degenerate loser

Ayeee
