Investigation shows on the 13 NBA bets Porter made: Total payout was $76,059, resulting in net winnings of $21,965. Three of the bets were multi-game parlay bets that included one Raptors game, in which Porter bet that the Raptors would lose. https://t.co/U3p7sdeSX0

Bet against the Raptors
Disclosed private league information to betters
Pulled himself from games to hit the under

Never heard of him

Still don't care as the league has fixed games since it's inception

He;s the less talented little brother of Michael Porter, starter on the Nuggets.

So he managed to win $20,000+... the NBA League Minimum is over 1 Mil per season. I'll never understand the mentality of some people.

I think he was on a two-way, so not making that much but he has over $2mm in career earnings and his brother will be at $200mm in career earnings when he finishes the contract.

There's no way he didn't have a kick back on the parlay that was going to pay out $1.1 million as well. This whole thing is so dumb. The videos are insane. He acts like the ball is lava on a couple rebounds to ensure the under hits on his props. And also fakes an illness.

The fact that he and the gambler thought they could do a huge bet or parlay on player props without being noticed and raising major red flags just shows how dumb they are.

I'm not a sports bettor, but I'm surprised they offer prop bets on a backup averaging 11 minutes per game and 3.7 ppg.

He didn't even have an NBA contract. He as on a two-way contract, which means he spends most of his time in GLeague.

It's an addiction. People with addictions do things to perpetuate the addiction that make no sense to people without one.

Imagine getting a DUI two weeks after your brother gets 8 years for killing someone driving drunk.

Its a disease. You probably know more people that have thrown their careers away with drugs and alcohol, but it's no different.

It's not a disease neither is substance abuse

Possible prison time
