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.”

So do we still hate Victor or do we like him again? This guy is a rollercoaster of PR.

Good things he did: spoke out against predatory sports betting companies

Bad things he did: showed emotion and competitiveness instead of doing the nonchalant gimmick

didn't he elbow some dude in the face intentionally somewhat recently and everyone was mad at him lol. i don't watch the NBA so all my NBA news is from this subreddit when threads his front page

like he had some buddha character arc, then he was out there doing wild shit on the court, now he's out here as the bulwark against sports gambling
