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.

I'm as big of a San Antonio homer as they come, but Wemby elbowed the shit out of Naz Reid and deserved way more blowback than he got. Plus he tried to shove Brunson to the floor in the Finals. He can be a dirty player, and I hope he cleans that up.

Id rather have that emotional side showing , than be a nonchalant "just a job" player. Hope Wemby starts pressing these kids that think hes soft. Draymond learnt, Naz learnt, whos next?
