Toronto Raptors player Jontay Porter was banned for life from the NBA on Wednesday after a league probe found he disclosed confidential information to sports bettors and wagered on games, even betting on the Raptors to lose.

Porter is the second person to be banned by Commissioner Adam Silver for violating league rules. The other was now-former Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling in 2014, shortly after Silver took office.
In making the announcement, Silver called Porter’s actions “blatant.”
“There is nothing more important than protecting the integrity of NBA competition for our fans, our teams and everyone associated with our sport, which is why Jontay Porter’s blatant violations of our gaming rules are being met with the most severe punishment,” Silver said.
The investigation started once the league learned from “licensed sports betting operators and an organization that monitors legal betting markets” about unusual gambling patterns surrounding Porter’s performance in a game on March 20 against Sacramento. The league determined that Porter gave a bettor information about his own health status prior that game and said that another individual - known to be an NBA bettor - placed an $80,000 bet that Porter would not hit the numbers set for him in parlays through an online sports book. That bet would have won $1.1 million.

The pro leagues jumped into bed with gambling sites. What did they expect?
Exactly!
All the major sports are playing with the devil... I'm sure that there are more players betting on their own sport more than what we know 😮
I believe this will not be the last athlete who receives a lifetime ban for gambling. This is the precedent that’s been set and if the NBA (and all other leagues for that matter) want to keep the integrity of the sport, this is the only option.
I appreciate that you made this a story Brodie. The empathetic side of me feels bad for Jontay as a person, but actions do have consequences and he crossed a line that the NBA couldn't ignore. I hope he finds a new career and refocuses his life in a positive way.
Once this kind of thing inevitably keeps happening, can we dial back on the gambling ads?
No chance. The dollars to be gained by the leagues are just too long. The reason this isn't a bigger story is because the NBA's regular season barely merits fan attention. The *real* story here though is how quickly this got spotted. The system in place to assure bet fixing doesn't happen will never be perfect, but this was something that could have - if not should have - fallen through the cracks in the old days.
Of course not…
I friggin wish lol
@@mactheknife7049right I agree, the NBA, NHL and MLB regular season barely gets fans attention cause it’s too long. So that makes sense
Younger brother went to Denver U and was just sentenced to six years in prison today. Rough week for the Porter family
Heard about that too. MPJ seems like the only one with sense
All these leagues have started moving their teams into Las Vegas.
NBA lost all credibility in my eyes when the Ref went to prison for fixing games.... this just adds on top of that.... they need to be more honest about this being sports entertainment and not authentic competition
Gambling is obviously making the NBA even more corrupt than it already was corrupt. I never thought anyone could be more hypocritical than Stern, but Silver is even worse than Stern.
His only crime was not being a big enough star to have a fall guy. Now, when he plays in another country he can blame his interpreter if he gets accused again.
Kinda like Ohtani????
Thanks for reporting on this issue, Brodie. The conflict of interest in the league and the addictions are only going to get worse.
Can't help but ask, what if it was a more recognizable "marquee" name? Would Silver be as quick to pull the lifetime ban trigger? Not rhetorical, I really wonder how that would be handled by the NBA.
As i said in a previous video you did on sports betting the Major Leagues in North America are woefully unprepared for this.
you appear to be correct
lREGARDLESS OF HOW THE BETS WENT; THE FACT THAT HE WAS WAGERING ON HIS OWN TEAM IS REASON ENOUGH TO BE BANNED!!!!!
Betting on an individual to NOT achieve a certain milestone opens up many avenues for unscrupulous individuals. Pay me $100 to NOT complete a difficult task and $200 to complete a difficult task, and I might take the $100 and invest my time/effort elsewhere. If the payout is reversed, then getting $200 to NOT complete a difficult task becomes the obvious choice because it is entirely within my power to achieve. Even if I'm honest and have every incentive to complete a difficult task for honor, glory, good of the team, etc, the collective effort others need to undertake to prevent me from doing so is relatively easy. Obviously, if someone Tonya Harding-ed me, they would obviously be investigated. However, there are many negative acts which occur in the course of daily living which could severely hamper my ability to complete the task; mild food poisoning or a flat tire might be enough.
While I do not gamble, I would not be comfortable betting on anything where an outcome is entirely within the control of one-individual. A team can still win or lose if one individual says "nah, I'm good on the bench" to affirm a negative result. Whether the individual is complicit or not, they have too much influence over the outcome.
6:37 - when the abnormal thing doesn't hit, should the sports book return the funds to the bettor?
Jontay Porter will Not be Missed by the NBA.
He was definitely throwing games
What's the big deal? The NBA approved the sale of controlling interest of the dallas mavericks to the families that run the Las Vegas Sands casino company, don't hear you people complaining about that.
Does anyone know if an NBA suspension for life carries any weight in Europe or Asia?
If he was a politician he would get to decide when he would be cut from the league and be allowed to keep betting on himself
The FBI would also cover up for him by hiding his laptop.
@@daviejz6698
No they wouldn't.
If somebody can prove that they bet on his games why can that person not start a class action lawsuit for say 500 mil or a bil against the NBA?
I think the leagues here in North America will eventually have to follow the example set by the Premier League in England & outright ban gambling companies from being involved in their league as a sponsor & greatly limit their advertising. Starting from next season (which starts in August) all Premier League clubs are banned from having gambling companies as a shirt sponsor & gambling companies are barred from advertising at Premier League stadiums. In addition the UK government has banned gambling companies from airing ads on TV during matches & during programs that are for children. Gambling companies can still air ads but have to air them on late night programming. These steps were all taken to prevent the very thing that has happened in the NBA from happening in the Premier League, though the Premier League has had its own gambling scandal with Sandro Tonali of Newcastle who is currently serving a year long suspension for being caught gambling on his team's matches.
They banned the player. They didn't deal with the circumstances around teams tanking. Between the trading, the injury bug that hit the Raptors this year, and the circumstances surrounding the Raptors' draft pick (it conveys to San Antonio if it falls outside of the top 6), there's more than enough incentive for them to bring in a player that might in turn have a vested interest in lowering their own performance for the benefit of the gambling community.
Just to be clear, I'm not saying the Raptors were aware of anything. I don't think they were. I think this is a guy doing this on his own, and Masai Ujiri is way too competitive to intentionally get involved with someone with gambling ties. I'm just saying that as long as teams are willing to "rebuild" or "retool" or endure a losing season here and there for long-term gain, then this opens the door for players to do this again.
Exactly
Good call by the NBA,
As a Raps fan, I do believe this should be cause for the NBA giving the Raptors the 1st overall pick in 2025 regardless of standings
I won't be surprised if the Big 3 league signs Porter.
Does he have a translator?
I don’t know about other professional sports, but I know in boxing the Nevada gaming commission has no issues with boxers betting on themselves. Floyd Mayweather was not allowed to bet on himself against Connor McGreggor, because he was the promoter. Him being the fighter was not an issue. Floyd did admit that his friends did place wagers. Floyd did control that fight and won it exactly when the oddsmakers said the fight would end. I do not know who commissions online gaming, but at least in Nevada it seems like a team owner couldn’t gamble on a game, but a player could. The leagues seem to have rules, but I’m sure the NBA would keep a Giannis issue quiet. I’m sure the NFL would keep a Mahomes issue quiet. Just like MLB is trying to brush Ohtani under the rug. Jordan, Barkley, ARod, and Jeter were well known gamblers. I’m not alleging they gambled against their team. But the probability that at least 1 of those guys did is likely. The leagues have to protect their stars and did.
@MrRicklynch Defintely. People don't know this, but Bill Russell and Wilt Chamberlain (according to Brian Tuohy, author of the books Larceny Games and The Fix is In) were betting on basketball in the 60's and nothing was done. Also, when Jordan was getting in heavy betting with unscrupulous people in the 90's, the NBA told him to go away so it didn't blow up into a much bigger issue.
He brings shame to the successful basketball loving family, this is his biggest loss. Hopefully he can go overseas and make something of his life playing there - clean!
The Pete Rose of the NBA
And Monfort and MLB are falling all over themselves to let the A's move to Sin City Vegas😂 gambling capital of the world.....
Doesn’t this shed more light on Shohei gambling situation? If gambling is “tightly” monitored for the NBA, wouldn’t it be 10x as tight for MLB (ie Pete rose, white sox) shouldn’t reporters be asking more question about Shohei Ohtani situation. Is he getting a slap on the wrist because he’s a huge international superstar player playing for the storied Dodgers franchise. If jontay porter was Luka Donic/Devin Booker would he have been suspended for life?
A player with an employee who gambles should be treated the same as a player who directly throws games? What’s next - LeBron should be suspended because his gardner is gambling?
@@rdspam😂
Lifetime suspension for a nobody player. What happens if it is a big name player? Do you just give him say a secret one year suspension?
Reinstate Pete Rose
You work your whole life to be a professional athlete and during the greatest opportunity of your life playing for an NBA team rather then grind and try to make a name for yourself and make millions the right way you throw it away for 20 grand.
Sure, but it's okay when the referees do it 😂
Because Donaghy wasn’t punished at all, right?
End of the day the NBA is okay with points shaving. Marjanovic being the most recent example.
Once it's justified to shave points under certain circumstances it makes it easier for individuals to justify similar types of behaviour
They are all told if you bet on the sport your gone for life. Yet everyone feels sorry for pete rose. He bet on baseball while playing and managing (possible inside info). He should be gone for life. He knew what the consequences were but did it anyway. Same with this guy. Same with ohtani if he did it.
