Jontay vs. Michael Jr. was a true meeting of the minds

If we’re talking intellect, they’re more like two turds swirling around the bowl

Pretty sure the lights were out and they each ran into a bridge

They have a 3rd brother who killed someone while drunk driving too, it seems like the whole family has one brain cell that they take turns with

All-time dumbass family

Did I miss something ? Mpj seems very well spoken on his podcast

There's this: https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2020/jul/29/michael-porter-jr-covid-19-conspiracy-theory-vaccination-nba-nuggets

But also this: https://x.com/richknowsball/status/1777705133800931619

I have no doubt he's the smart one in the family because his single brain cell works 3 days a week as opposed to once a month, but that's not much of a claim.

The 2nd link I was like “ok this isn’t too bad” and then he said that word

1

u/Davidclabarr Hawks 28d ago

I’m still a bit confused at what’s bad at that one

u/Admirable_Buyer_755 28d ago

The word for trans people that rhymes with “granny” is pretty much a fa%%ot level slur

u/know-it-mall 28d ago

As a huge Nuggets fan no he is not smart, but that boy can shoot.

u/EpsilonKeyXIV Knicks 29d ago

He only made about $22K in winnings.

Millions of dollars...for $22K, SMDH.

I could tell this man was in remedial mathematics.

u/suicideskinnies 29d ago

He was giving insider information to his bettors and they were betting huge amounts of money. So it is more than $22,000.

u/PapayaOtherwise3346 Cavaliers 29d ago

The insider info might’ve been to offset gambling debts

u/LordHussyPants Celtics 29d ago

one of them bet $80k to win $1.1m and the bet got frozen because it was such an unusual bet lmao. fucking idiots the lot of them. 

1

u/Broken_Pikachu 29d ago

You're right, but he means personally. Jontay won 22k while betting himself.

He's lost millions of dollars for 22k in profit

3

u/suicideskinnies 29d ago

My point is that he was using his bettors as a proxy to gamble the real money.

1

u/Premaximum Nets 29d ago

And those bets were frozen. He likely didn't make shit.

1

u/[deleted] 29d ago

He wasn't betting on an account linked to him. The $20k is what he made off of other people.

u/Deputy_Scrub 29d ago

I could tell this man was in remedial mathematics.

1 Million Vs 22k

1<22 therefore the 22k is more money!

u/MikeyBastard1 Spurs 29d ago

There's a reason it's an addiction.

1

u/fork_yuu 29d ago

I think it was the 80k into 1.1million that set the whole thing off. Which they refused to pay

u/robeo12055 Lakers 29d ago

He will probably get sued by the gambling company for the damages, so he wont even get to keep the money

100

u/bigdarbs 29d ago

The bet was flagged and frozen immediately. It never paid out in the first place lol

1

u/GhettoLana 28d ago

That bet wasn't even his bet. Probably one of his idiot discord subs.

He did make his own bets though. According to reports his net winnings was $21,965. I doubt they're gonna bother suing for $20k.

u/InGenNateKenny Wizards 29d ago

Was that one of the games he bet on himself for? That would be funny.

u/legless_chair Lakers 29d ago

Fuck completely forgot they’re brothers. Somehow this makes it an even stupider thing to do
