Matt Berkey (well known in poker circles) from a couple years ago alleging that Billups ran fixed poker games in LA and Vegas.

Around 27min mark. I cued it up.

If you would have told me that a member of that '04 Pistons team would be involved in an illegal poker ring I would have automatically thought Ben Wallace.

Incredible!
That guy says he first heard about it in 2019.

RIP City takes on a whole new meaning when you find out Chauncey Billups is working for the mafia.

Looking like Chauncey was doing the same, telling people who was out and such as they were tanking

Would not have picked out that the TrailBlazer that would be busted for a federal crime didn't come from this crew, although, there may have been.:

This looks pretty bad. Jailblazers lost 124-96.

I googled Rozier's salary. $25 million annually. I assume this gambling fiasco will void his contract. Unreal

26.6M this year and has made $133,000,000 in the NBA prior to this year, not counting endorsements.

The Heat would LOVE for that contract to be voided by the league. They have hated him for a while.

If any of you subscribe to Henry Abbott's True Hoop newsletter, it was a good one today, basically going over the NBA's long standing mob ties.

I got accused of point shaving in HS. The prosecution said there was NO WAY someone could miss that many open shots, layups, rebounding attempts, passes to teammates, etc.

In 2023 the NBA started investigating Terry Rozier, and did not find any wrongdoing.

"In March 2023, the NBA was alerted to unusual betting activity related to Terry Rozier's performance in a game between Charlotte and New Orleans," NBA spokesman Mike Bass said in a statement, first released to The Wall Street Journal and then to other outlets. "The league conducted an investigation and did not find a violation of NBA rules. We are now aware of an investigation by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of New York related to this matter and have been cooperating with that investigation."


However, the league really hadn't closed the book on it, but I'm not sure what they had access to, or more likely, how hard they were trying to really investigate.




I'm guessing that they will do just as thorough of an investigation on Kawhi Leonard and the Clippers for circumventing the salary cap.

David Stern would have had Scary Terry in solitary at Alcatraz a year ago. He literally banned the GOAT to AA ball to swing (and miss) on breaking pitches for a year and a half.

"Did you defraud these people out of millions of dollars?"

Hey, great question Susan, I am surprised he didn't answer.

how thorough can the NBA really be? at the end of the day if people don't talk to them, they don't get info. if the federal government comes knocking, you can get the screws put to you.

He should have started talking about the loss to the Timberwolves.

I swear, every 10 seasons there comes along an ALL-TIME season. We're not even a full week in and this one is already up there.

- NBA back on NBC
- Inside the NBA studio production is actually left intact
- Incredible 2OT season opener
- Multiple 40 and 50-balls already
- ANOTHER 2OT in primetime from the defending champs
- Wemby lore
- V.J. Edgecombe leading off a good-looking rookie class
- James Harden has...a kid???
- THE FBI IS INVOLVED
- And this is all without LeBron playing at all, so you know the league is ready for the transition

Dropping this the day after the season started was a SAVAGE move.
