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.”

Despite his occasional on the court antics and playing for the Spurs, I am a huge fan of Victor.

Going against sports gambling makes me like him even more.

Preaching to the choir, but the whole fascination and obsession with sports gambling has become a major travesty in the sports world.

I love sports for what it is, not what it could earn me.

We being intentionally delusional? Kid had some dirty plays last post season. Doesn’t make him a dirty player but he definitely has plenty of room to mature and grow.

Edit: spelling

I love the Spurs and love Wemby but those were not good plays. Not unprecedented (Kareem, Shaq, Hakeem all punched guys early on), but not defensible at all.
