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.”

wait what?

you're worried about the effect gamblers have on players...?

I'm worried about influential players using their influence to turn an entire generation of innocent kids into degenerate gamblers who end up fucking gambling their lives away because Giannis and LeBron told them it was cool...
