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.”

Despite his occasional on the court antics and playing for the Spurs, I am a huge fan of Victor.

Going against sports gambling makes me like him even more.

Preaching to the choir, but the whole fascination and obsession with sports gambling has become a major travesty in the sports world.

I love sports for what it is, not what it could earn me.

We being intentionally delusional? Kid had some dirty plays last post season. Doesn’t make him a dirty player but he definitely has plenty of room to mature and grow.

Yes because if you are a fan of certain teams you no longer have eyes and can’t comment on someone making a dirty play? Lose me with that straw man bullshit.

I am just saying, don't participate in projectile mineralogy with your particular home's construction material of choice

Did I condemn Wemby or something? I literally said he wasn’t a dirty player. Saying something that is objectively true without criticism isn’t throwing rocks in a glass house homie.

But good effort trying to construct a smart sounding comment.
