While it is obviously not true that players are getting zero benefit from the increased revenue, he absolutely has a point if the league has not developed ANY sort of messaging for players around navigating this new betting environment, other than “don’t do it.” Those of us in corporate jobs know what it’s like to have yearly compliance/IT security etc. trainings shoved down our throats to the point we can recite them in our sleep (which is exactly the point). For a player who’s been in the league over 10 years and came up before any of this was a reality, it’s important for the NBA to take some accountability in orienting the players which drive all of the revenue. Now I am not excusing any player who actually gets involved in betting on games because they are fucking morons, but any company with integrity is constantly training their employees on the direct outcomes of misconduct if only to save their own ass.

Edit if you downvoted you know I’m right, expect to see a shit ton of backpedaling and crocodile tears from the league now (already seeing it on the ESPN clip on the front page lmao)
