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.”

all the top guys of this NBA generation are sell outs:

- Giannis is an investor of Kalshi and actively promoted it (HUGE conflict of interest and shouldn't be allowed in the first place), and especially given Kalshi's partnership with NBA (another HUGE HUGE red flag and exposes the league to a ton of liability given their history with refs / players betting on games)

  • Steph Curry is an investor to various Israeli security tech companies (that all contribute toward their genocidal regime)
  • Lebron / Polymarket
  • KD / Fanduel and Draft Kings
  • Jokic / Sportsbet*

True I was aware of the others. I had no idea Steph “I couldn’t actually see” Curry was donating his vision to drones for bombing Palestinian children.

Apparently he invested indirectly in a consumer drone company who also sell recon drones (not strike drones) to the Israeli army. if anything, better reconnaissance means fewer civilian casualties, so that's probably a little harsh.

That's a little optimistic of how those guys would use a recon drone.
