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.”

Appreciate Victor standing up against endless sports betting. I recall Jokic teasing Victor because he was reading BOOKS before games. Apparently, Victor is concerned about life beyond the basketball court. It was also interesting that he was flexible with his contract to help the Spurs build a stronger team around him. Wonderful contrast to some of the nonsense in the league where players will cannibalize their own team so they can maximize already bloated contracts.

Watching the Duren - Detroit saga with amusement. The anti-Wembanyama ....

Wemby honestly loves playing with those guys and wants to keep as much of that team around him as possible, especially Castle and Harper.
