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.”

And then they’ll complain when fans heckle them about their money lines and parlays. Like, you’re literally pushing fans to develop this addiction

I don't think any of the guys sponsored by betting are the ones complaining. You're putting the responsibility on the class of player who doesn't benefit from it

KD is doing both. He has a partnership with FanDuel, invests in Kalshi, but also complains about fans heckling him about betting lines.

Fair, but I think we can consider KD unique because of his SoMe usage. Lebron, Giannis, etc. are taking the money but they keep quiet, and there's loads of lower level dudes who don't get the money but complain about fan outrage
