NBA announces investigation found Porter "disclosed confidential information to sports bettors, limiting his own participation in one or more games for betting purposes, and betting on NBA games." From Jan. to March, Porter placed 13 bets on NBA games using associate's account.

#

Per league statement: The league’s investigation found that prior to the Raptors’ March 20 game, Porter disclosed confidential information about his own health status to an individual he knew to be an NBA bettor.  Another individual with whom Porter associated and knew to be an NBA bettor subsequently placed an $80,000 parlay proposition bet with an online sports book, to win $1.1 million, wagering that Porter would underperform in the March 20 game.

I’m kind of new to nba and 2k in general but why do people say mj is the goat for having 7 rings even though Bill Russell has 11

silent iron
#

Idk

low grail
# low grail Because

Bill Russell played in a weak era.
There was no 3pt line, the game focused on the big guys mainly due to that.
Jordan tho may have 6 championships but played in an era in which it had hand checking,the defense was toughest,he had to face off the bad boys,Many fouls weren't called.
Unlike bill Mj was an all-around player,he could shoot,defend, dribble,pass,drive,he was perfect.
Also jordan got into a team that was terrible and stayed there while bill got into an already good team.
Reminder that Jordan was considered the goat from his 2nd championship with only 18k points.
As the league needed more viewers for money they changed the rules so more points would be scored unfortunately, less defense today,for me the nba défense isn't real defense, FIBA basketball defense is great compared to today's NBA.
So when you have LeBron who had to change teams 3 times just fo get 4 championships and not be considered the goat as early as mj while also not having the right mentality, it's clearly that after all this mj is rhe goat.
If you think Bron is the goat stop playing basketball now, get some help, it's as bad as saying earth's flat

And nuggets 3p shooting in first quarter is not good.

But as the Lakers getting tired and slow down on defensive side, Nuggets come back soon.

It seems now it's Hard for Lakers to keep good performance on both Offense and Defense.

If they put pressure defense, then they have issues on 3 point shooting..

Yea true

I still can't forget there is a regular game Lakers play with nuggets, the game they play offense and not put much pressure on defense, and there is a guy from Nuggets shoots 10/10 shot attempts at 100% percent..

Lebron are creating runs for the other team, he need to be placed for main slashing, the game is not about trying 3s and create rebounds and fastbreaks, is about secure the score and denfend like denver, he need to stop the number chansing and start sacrife more is own stats, 100 pts in a game is nothing if you lose

If you say lebron is the goat for his numbers, the stats on basketball no matter, Stats must be the result of the entire system acording to your teamates deserve roles, If you no have the chance to create a stat you no supose to chase or force the numbers because you are risking to much the posetion on a FG miss or Turnovers...Lebron is the 1 player with most turns on history, Also FG misses, You can score 20 pts on 35 attemps, That means for chasing 20 pts without proper organization he give the ball to the other team 15 times, Also let put 2 turnovers so fo 20 pts you make the other team score aprox 34......

Mb but this is not the way to play basketball, When kids learn the conservative way is when they apology to old heads
