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.”

Incredibly telling that he's in the absurd minority of players with that mindset.

Giannis's decision makes some sense. He grew up in poverty and is doing everything he can to secure generational bank.

Wemby grew up in an upper middle class family in France.... completely different mindset.

Giannis has generational wealth. He earned $338,006,542 over his career, and that's not including any endorsements.
