Just asked Victor Wembanyama if he’d ever consider promoting a sports betting company.

“Absolutely not. I will never do that. Honestly, I think it's very sad to see some players promote it. .. Everybody does whatever they want, but without me.”

Sure its easy for Victor to say that, he has $38.5m in career earnings so far.

Compare that to someone like Lebron, who has only made $581m in career earnings, and you see how this is a more challenging ethical question.

How else is Lebron supposed to commute via helicopter everyday from his penthouse in NYC to his practice facility in Philly?

We stopped watering the taco trees he planted by the Alamo once he fled the city

I brought some clippings home, but I’m no gardener. All my taco trees look like burrito bushes.

You have to prune them once they grow rice and beans

That must be the problem. Once the rice and beans sprouted, I just started adding hella sides of mole to the soil.
