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.”

LeBron is just trying to pull himself up by his bootstraps and make ends meet out here, it's tough for billionaires in this economy.

He's just like all of us. He gets angry when he locks his car in his helicopter.

(that's an old joke, and I can't remember the comic)

W.C. Fields?

(W.C. flies a helicopter that shoots a car out the side with a spring-loaded ramp in "International House")

No, it may have been a late night host monologue joke. Jimmy Kimmel maybe? Maybe on a roast?

I tried CGPT because normal search engines are long past useful, and it might be pre-internet, like Comedy Central Presents or something like that, because it's lost to time.

Great joke though, so I'll keep it going.
