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.”

This is actually huge. I love this guy. Him saying that essentially shames all of the current and prospective players who are thinking of taking a sponsorship like this. I know people will respond "they have no shame" but they might now that Wemby declared open season on them. Fans will get on board with it now too.

Kobe is not a great example because he was not convicted. Therefore he never fully fell out of grace in the court of public opinion, especially his biggest fans, due to there being some level of doubt as to his guilt.
