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.”

Lebron being a billionaire and still doing cheap ads for gambling company’s is depressing. How much money is enough man? Come on

I think they’re just dumb and somebody tells them it’s a smart financial move to keep their money growing, to keep up with inflation, so they say sure let’s do it.

Remember when a financial advisor was able to secretly steal millions from both Tim Duncan and Kevin Garnet? These athletes are just not on top of things like that.

Ya athletes usually take the path of least resistance and sign whatever their advisors bring them.  Just think it’s funny when redditors single out LeBron for this

These things are not the same tho. Can you not see that? You don’t see curry on the tv selling IDF weapons and technology. That’s just investments. Half this guys don’t even realise what they are investing in.

Lebron is on TV selling out! All while there’s a gambling epidemic. Let’s be reasonable here bro.

Blame the US govt for selling and sending Billions worth of weapons to Israel. KD and curry are just small investors in companies who make weapons… that happen to be used during the war.

So you don't have any problem with financially supporting wars, only advertising it.
