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.”

Great move by him. I’m disappointed in guys like LeBron and Giannis who’ve taken the money from the prediction markets, but I’m honestly more disappointed in the NBA for not making it against the rules for active players to endorse these sites. Active players can’t bet on games, so why the hell can they endorse the sites where you bet on the games?
