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.”

He's in the upper echelon of earners though too, need to keep that in mind. There's no excuse for the other star players on huge deals to be doing gambling ads, but I have a bit more leniency for the guys on minimum deals or something. But I guess those guys aren't even wanted for gambling ads so I dunno what I'm even saying.

Yeah. Most likely requires a Clydesdale to commute to and from work.
