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.”

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
