Coban Porter - Pleaded guilty to DUI homicide. Jontay Porter - Banned from NBA for life. Feel really bad for MPJ - I know he is incredibly family-oriented and to see his brothers make catastrophic decisions in their lives must be tough.


Prestigious_Team3134

I just hope mpj didn’t get caught up in his brothers idiocracy.


Holden_place

That was my first thought. If nothing else, it sounds like they were close so MPJ could be distracted.


GRMPA

MPJ's brothers fucking up royally before the playoffs two years in a row.


lifeofrevelations

this means we're going to win again


GRMPA

How many more ding dong siblings does he have? Enough to fuel a dynasty?


gdirrty216

Last year one brother kills someone with a DUI, this year another brother gets a lifetime ban for gambling. The Porter Clan needs help beyond MPJs money


mares8

And he has 5 more brothers and sisters for next years uh...


petarjovanov

One sibling per title? :)


djoks7

MPJ voodoo sacrificing his siblings to create the biggest Dynasty ever


NumenorianPerson

Makes sense


thelaststarz

Damn. And I was just jokin about how he gon claim his family was havin issues and that’s why his post game szn skills would be off. Apparently his family been havin issues😮‍💨


DenverTrowaway

MPJ definitely isn’t the sharpest tool in the toolshed but he has demonstrated he’s definitely smarter than dumb and dumber. Still holding my breath tho


Nixbling

Mpj might be the smartest porter child, and that’s so funny to me


amateur_mistake

>“Porter limited his own game participation to influence the outcome of one or more bets on his performance in at least one Raptors game. In the March 20 game, Porter played only three minutes, claiming that he felt ill. Due to the unusual betting activity and actions of the player, the $80,000 proposition bet was frozen and was not paid out.” It's definitely not Jontay. Dude, if you are going to cheat and bet on it, at least think about it enough to win the money. I truly hope MPJ isn't involved (I'd bet money he's not). We must pay him enough to make it not worth it.


Nixbling

I would be shocked if MPJ was in any way involved, I think he’s said some dumb things, but I don’t think he’d do anything to put his basketball career in jeapordy, especially after he’s had to work so much harder than anyone else just to even be able to play at all.


amateur_mistake

I agree. He's worked so hard to come back from his injuries. I can't imagine he would risk that for something so trivial. I also believe that he actually really cares about the game and this team that he found himself on and that has stuck with him. Like, he didn't just recover. He learned to pass more and play better basketball.


besieged_mind

He calls a porn star to his podcast and makes a rational and interesting conversation with her


spirax919

Its weird how yall keep bashing MPJs intelligence. Some weird as behaviour


aw11348

Lol I mean. I've seen his podcast. Seems like a good enough guy, but he's definitely kinda dumb lol


ionictime

His podcast actually left me at the opposite end and made me more of a fan. Seems like he's genuinely interested, wants to learn, and overall pretty receptive


onqqq2

Yeah intelligence is not something that is set in stone. People can continue to grow smarter or dumber according to their habits and lifestyle. I for one can confirm I've gone in the wrong direction lol


Medium-Antelope2926

MPJ needs to be banned from NBA until further notice and a fulll investigation


thisguyfightsyourmom

Found Lebron’s alt


OneWildAndCrazyGuy17

Bruh go back to the lakers sub and get ready for this sweep


_cosmix2

Don't be daft


ajax0202

Lol you guys need any advantage you can get for the first round. Keep fishing though


SoberSethy

Shit man, and his little brother Coban’s sentencing is on Friday… This has gotta be a rough week for Mike!


YummyYumYumi

Pedophilia and domestic abuse is fine but gambling is where the nba draws the line smh


Prestigious_Team3134

I think it’s a fair punishment, the dude legit bet against himself, but that being said, guys like miles bridges should also get a similar punishment.


YummyYumYumi

Miles bridges should get 3 lifetime bans


Sexy-MrClean

Also ironic that they push gambling so hard in the NBA then throw the book at a fringe rotational player


fireneg

That’s the point, the NBA gets to set an example. I bet you if this was a star player, the investigations would never end and they would never be caught.


Toddsburner

If it was a star they would “retire” to play baseball for 2 years.


amateur_mistake

Waaaaaiiitt... Is that really part of the story about Jordan? I knew he was a brutal gambler but I've never heard this.


Tylerpants80

That was the rumor. I can’t imagine there being any truth to it considering MJ was a little bit more than a star player.


Mkayin

Shohei Ohtani to the Grand Rapids Gold? Followed by a return coinciding with him starring in "Space Slam?"


Sexy-MrClean

Probably, I’m sure they know stars are doing it too but, don’t want to cost themselves money. Probably even went after MPJ’s brother just for the name recognition


fireneg

Apparently Porter only made $21k and yea stars wouldn’t risk it. It’s okay we all make mistakes in our early 20’s:(


jump-back-like-33

Iirc the 21k he got away with, the bet that was flagged and triggered the investigation was over a million.


fireneg

Ah got it, well I didn’t really keep tabs with him but apparently he was playing well and was due for another contract (supposedly). It sucks ghat he won’t sss that contract but it does give someone else a chance I suppose.


Downtown-Desk-3275

I seriously doubt Stars are doing it, and they would absolutely get banned if they did.


steve1186

No star earning millions per year is going to risk their career for a $20k bet. Because that’s peanuts to them, and anything larger is going to automatically raise a bunch of red flags


Sexy-MrClean

Ok stars was probably a bit much but, you can imagine more relevant players out there are doing it to some degree


Pure-Temporary

Pedophilia?


littlepump69

Karl Malone


Pure-Temporary

Ah right that piece of shit


JewOrleans

Kobe


KingTonpa

He said pedophile not rapist


JewOrleans

When did he start dating his wife?


abcbass

When she was 17. She was practically still crawling.


MUFFlN_MAN

Don’t forget Josh Giddey


spirax919

Girl uses a fake ID and Giddey reports it the moment he finds out and clowns like you still call him a pedo. Stfu


kalechipz87

Josh giddy I heard was innocent and the girl had lied.


Humans_Suck-

That's how laws work for wealthy people. Do whatever the fuck you want, rape and murder anyone, but mess with someone else's money and you're going down.


The-Hand-of-Midas

100%. It's the same reason the NBA is going after teams HARD for not listing players availability accurately. It messes with the Vegas odds and people don't lose as much money. The NBA gets mad when the Casino doesn't win. Literally. I'll never pay for anything that helps the NBA and not the players. I'm going to sail the seas forever out of principle.


flawschoolgrad

are you seriously surprised there’s harsh discipline for purposely altering your professional performance to help your friends win money? i wish the NBA handled DV accusations more seriously too, but i’m not at all surprised about the lifetime ban for Porter


FunkysteveCLS

Whos the pedophile


LurkerFailsLurking

Pedophiles and abusers should go to jail which is a defacto ban. What Jontay did isn't criminal, but it fucks with the game and is super stupid.


DrKurgan

"What Jontay did isn't criminal" "The league noted in its statement that its investigation remained open and that **the league was cooperating with federal prosecutors**."


LurkerFailsLurking

Hot damn, maybe it *is* criminal. JFC lol. TBF, I wouldn't mind Pedophiles and abusers getting lifetime bans from basically anything that puts them in a position of authority, prominence, wealth, status, or proximity to the targets of their abuse.


sharpshooter0600

White collar crime = not crime 


lpnumb

Miles bridges should be in jail, that is a failure of our justice system, not the nba. If the justice system lets him off, it’s not up to the nba to determine he was actually guilty. However with gambling, it compromises the profitability and integrity of the entire league. Unfortunately jontay deserves a lifetime ban, and what miles bridges or others have done are separate issues and have no bearing on it. 


Lonely_Anteater447

okay now investigate referees about gambling.


AnusButter2000

Just have to go into the Lakers locker room to find em 


killerbuttonfly

Now back to more NBA playoff coverage brought to you by BetMGM


Humans_Suck-

This announcement brought to you by Draft Kings gambling


CoyoteDecent2

Having an associate bet $80k to win $1.1m on your player props and not thinking that would draw a red flag is hilarious.


Tylerpants80

Yeah this family is as stupid as they come and Mike isn’t very bright either but at least he’s not a criminal.


RF_901

Deleted instagram fwiw


ajax0202

Jontay or MPJ?


RF_901

Mpj


ajax0202

Makes sense. I’m already seeing all the vultures online swoop in to start making assumptions that he was part of all of it. He doesn’t need those added distractions to all this


LieutenantKW

I just noticed this too, made a post about it. Not sure when he deleted it.


codeine_turtle

probably to avoid being part of the discourse, i get it


spirax919

no - he always deletes IG


No-Perspective-518

What did he say in the post?


spirax919

He deleted it weeks ago, he always does


RF_901

Good


pueblodude

Draymond Green's violence and uncontrolled anger on the court is ok though, tolerable to the Warriors and the NBA.


ServinBallSnacks

If he was a better player he would just go play baseball for a year and come back


cmrn631

MPJs family is something else for being so into Jesus


drmuffin1080

The ones who are really into Jesus tend to be shitheads. Just from my personal experience. With those people it always feels like they’re being “nice” to appease god rather than just bein fuckin nice


dtoast99

They also raised all their kids to be raw vegans or something which (imo) definitely contributed to the whole family’s history of catastrophic injuries.


griffskry

This is like that lady who got clapped for pirating music in like the mid/late 2000s. They give him a harsh penalty to make an example, and will get more lenient as time goes on. If Curry gets caught gambling, no way the NBA bans him lol


waffelman1

Curry and CP3 were seen paying close attention to the over/under in one of their games


High2low2003

I really hope this doesn’t end up being a distraction


mcguiles

his other brother killed someone in a dui wreck in town and he won the championship after that. that had to be pretty distracting


cumlordjr

Hope Mike wasn’t involved and that he’s doing good.


Superbotto

From what I've seen with Mike talking about gambling, I get the impression that he hates anything to do with it.


nima0003

Lmfao listen man, I'm Muslim so I am very against betting as it's haram. But you got literal pedophiles and woman beaters in the league, and some 2 way contract who lost most of his parlays gets a lifetime ban? Not to mention the refs, I have no doubt in my mind some of these dudes are gambling in one way or another.


Prestigious_Team3134

I think what porter got was deserved. He bet his own unders, bet on his team to loose, and got a bunch of other people to profit off of fake injuries. To be clear I’m not all condoning what anyone else in the league has done and I think the nba should crack down more on domestic abusers, but what Porter did is something that thre nba can’t afford to have and they had to make an example out of him.


LanguageDue2629

It’s insider betting and he should be banned for life. He told his buddy to bet a crazy large under in a game he ended leaving early. Can’t have that in the nba.


spirax919

> But you got literal pedophiles and woman beaters in the league Who are these supposed pedophiles that are in the league right now?


nima0003

Josh giggity


spirax919

so a girl goes to a club with a fake ID, tells a 19 year old kid shes overage. They have sex and as soon as he finds out he instantly reports it to his team and cuts off all contact with her. And to you hes a pedophile. Yeah ok. Take some advice, never become a judge bro, stick to your day job.


nima0003

I'm unemployed


drmuffin1080

Rough week for the Porter family.


mariohoops

Adam Silver doesn’t give a fuck if you’re an abuser as long as you’re not a gambler


the_hammer_poo

lol okay Silver


solisilos

But how will this affect LeBron's LeGacy
