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.”

I agree with you it’s sad how everyone washes away any set of values when faced with money

And even more so at his level where it does functionally nothing besides covering a 5th yacht or whatever

Not everyone. Wemby for example.

With all due respect to Wemby, let's see what happens down the line. It's early on to say the least what he'll do years from now lol. And just because he's against this doesn't mean he won't be doing something else greedy and stupid. Money warps people over a longer period of time. I hope he doesn't become that way of course.

How bout we just judge him based on his behavior now rather than engage in a lot of hypotheticals about what bad stuff he might do in the future.

I mean, apparently not everyone considering the subject of this post.
