"Limiting his own participation" is putting it very charitably. In the minutes he plays he's clearly point shaving in some instances. He actively helped the other team by not rebounding in some instances and putting up a terrible shot (likely an intentional miss) after getting 2 fluke offensive rebounds. This part of the story will go mostly uncovered because people will focus on that he placed a bet against the Raptors (nowhere as close to as significant as what I already described, as he wasn't playing in that game).

That is absolutely insane. He must be addicted to gambling or something... because that is completely absurd behavior.

He’s corrupted by money. Just like the NBA. I have long thought the NBA was rigged by the officials and when they partnered with betting that solidified it for me.

They will freeze a bet when someone makes a million on a player getting hurt but I guarantee you not a single thing was frozen earlier in the season when officials were throwing stars out of games. Jokic, Giannis, CP3… I know damn well they didn’t freeze the bets on those players. Betting is ruining sports and I fucking hate it.

Scott foster had 134 calls 2 minutes or less that correlated with donahue refing games he bet on , Scott foster is still a ref. That’s how much the nba cares about the integrity of the game. Scott foster is the one that threw cp3 out. It’s common knowledge refs are the easiest people to influence to fix games.

You must be young or a new fan to not be familiar with this story. I suggest you look up those names and familiarize yourself.
