Whats thug bball might be a little gay if you like the guys in the short shorts? Any way its for a poker ring with mafia involvement so nothing really related to the game its self.

There is more to it than the mafia poker scheme. Rozier is accused of fixing his stats to go "under." I think there will be more to come as well.

Sound like it goes into the NBA not just poker

In the sports betting scheme, players sometimes altered their performance or took themselves out of games early, New York Police commissioner Jessica Tisch said.

In one instance, Rozier, while playing for the Hornets, told people he was planning to leave the game early with a “supposed injury”, allowing them to place wagers that raked in thousands of dollars, Ms Tisch said.

The indictment of Rozier and others says there are nine unnamed co-conspirators, including a Florida resident who was an NBA player, an Oregon resident who was an NBA player from about 1997 to 2014 and an NBA coach since at least 2021, as well as a relative of Rozier.

Rozier and other defendants “had access to private information known by NBA players or NBA coaches” that was likely to affect the outcome of games or players’ performances and provided that information to other co-conspirators in exchange for either a flat fee or a share of betting profits, the indictment says.

Right, but by DEI standards the teams should consist of 48% white, 20% mexican, 9% asian, 8% other races, and only 15% black fellas

You new when salaries got up as high as they are, there would be crooked shit going on. I don't give a shit what sport your talking, there ain't a soul out that should be worth more than $5 million/ yr.
It's no wonder a common family of 4 that love they're sports can't afford to go to a game anymore. Ok, lets hear the slams . . .

It's not the salaries. It's the betting machines like Draft Kings etc. getting in bed with NFL, ESPN, NBA, and others. I could smell this from a mile away once ESPN started betting lines in their ticker and talking about bets during segments.
