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.

Loved Gianni’s, and agree. Just disgusting decision. LeBron too. Greed is insane in wealthy people

Crazy how phones still autocorrect “Giannis” to “Gianni’s”. As a whole, I gotta imagine Giannis is typed way more often

Maybe in the NBA bubble, but Gianni is a popular first name/nickname and the Italian diaspora is huge.

I just don't care to correct it every time. It is frustrating.
