Sellout

obviously this is two years ago but its clear nobody in the league is safe from selling out for gambling money

This is getting ridiculous. We quickly went from a nationwide general ban on gambling to having it permeate literally every aspect of life. The slippery slope is real.

damn where was that giannis energy two years ago when this was announced

Nobody wants to admit that NBA players like money no matter how much money they get. I’d say most fans need to drastically lower their expectations of these guys or accept that they’re just going to be disappointed on a weekly basis for the rest of their lives. If you think your favorite player is somehow different, you’re probably wrong.

I’ve personally been a lot happier since I stopped following almost everything off the court and just watched the games and read the box scores.

Fuck gambling

Doesn’t he also support Serbia’s authoritarian president?

sports betting ruined sports

He’s just our relateable goofy, fat Serb who treats basketball like a 9-5 and likes horses.  He can do no wrong 

I don’t think I have ever been to a city with more of those betting shops than Belgrade. I am sure he is deeply committed to that experience.

This is old news. The sports gambling stuff is a huge issue in Serbia and Jokic is willing do business with a company that is destroying people and families in his country. Its disgusting

Jokic’s bitchass better get the same exact reception that giannis got

Djokovic, creates foundation to genuinely help poor kids

Jokić, wants kids to be poor

Jokic stans probably gonna defend this somehow 

i feel like you’re trying to pull a gotcha about the Giannis thing but like. yeah? this also sucks? this is the first i’m hearing it but it definitely lowers my opinion of Jokic as a person (for what that’s worth, which isn’t much)

like the bottom line is that i don’t think most athletes think that hard about what they’re endorsing. i also think that’s shitty and that sports betting companies are the scum of the earth, but that’s just my opinion

Fuck Jokic for that. Fuck Giannis for that. Although I have a feeling I’m just going to see pretty much any high caliber player accept offers to do shit like this since the integrity of the NBA is in the gutter. This is terrible for the sport.

Adam Silver will be looked back on as one of the worst commissioners in the history of sports.

We’re tired of these “unique ways”

Hey man, the guy is just trying to enhance the fan experience. Thanks, Joker!

And by complete coincidence, this post either won’t make the front page or will get removed by the mods before it has a chance to.

I took a short break from the NBA and this is the new I come back to.

Fucking hell.

Is this shit even fun anymore

I’m deeply committed to enhancing the fan experience, and that’s perfectly aligned with Superbet’s mission.“”

Yeah, that’d a be “No”, Nikola. We’re just fine without wondering which players bet the under, or have an interest in the casino that took those bets.

All of these athletes can fuck off. I’m close to done with this sport.

Funny how everyone is ignoring that this is from 2023

Really beyond disgusting. I have no reason to believe any player who endorses a company like this is acting in the good faith of the league. If his partners make money by him doing certain things, and HE makes money by doing those things, then damn, I wonder if he’s gonna do those things.

A betting app in my country has austin reaves as the brand ambassador

What is happening the NBA is actually cooked

Damn everybody’s signed to a betting company now

We’re so close to having an athlete get paid to say “come down and spend a weekend at Jeffrey’s Island”

not jokic dude

Not surprised, his family is connected to Serbian mafia.

What’s going on today?!

fuck it. give me a sponsorship too - Ill shill some shitty betting site.

Is this even fine to the NBA?

I am super dissapointed in him

Fake outrage over all this is funny who wouldn’t take millions of dollars to post an ad for these companies once a year

james harden is only king and non sell out

A second plane has hit the towers

Giannis is on an all time unforced error run.

Credibility = 0. First time I’m hearing this and will no longer be a fan of this cunt 

I’m tired of all the sports gambling apps and prediction markets boss

I guess the hundreds of millions of $ he already has still isn’t enough for him. Other people should be poorer too. Gambling destroys people’s lives.

Dude how is any of this legal?!

The league should shut these type of deals down

F these guys, might as well promote cigarettes for the nice pick-me-up pause you can have between quarters while watching basketball

I remember where sports betting was frowned upon and not them being main sponsor of every product and tv show

Disappointing, same as Giannis.

So this week Giannis and Jokic sold out to sport betting companies, 2 of probably my top 5 guys I would not expect to promote gambling. We are so cooked

Well… fuck.

Itt people commenting on news from 2023 like it happened yesterday. Reddit really is full of sheep, their opinion is always whatever the last thing they heard was. 

Disgusting. Hope his horses all lose.

Fuck these cunts.

Who knew? Us, the layperson, has nothing in common with super rich athletes with almost 0 moral code.

1 commercial out of 3 in Serbia is Jokic promoting betting. Heck, 1 business out of 4 in Belgrade’s sidewalk is a betting shack.

Fuyck this and this approach

I suppose this is in response to the post about Giannis on Kalshi?  Lol

Two years ago lol

So are we saying Fuck Jokic like y’all did with everyone else? Stop virtue seeking and just accept that this is the new norm.

This was a couple years ago, and y’all already forgot about it. The same is gonna happen with Giannis. 

PLEASE MY GOAT WEMBY DONT SELL OUT

Sports betting / gambling becoming mainstream was the primary reason why i quit. it is completely degenerate and detrimental to society.

sucks. he lived long enough to see himself become the villain.

Boooo

Brand ambassador vs a literal shareholder is so different and the fact nobody in here has clocked that is insane. It’s common practice for athletes to be brand ambassadors to betting companies outside of the US, to be a SHAREHOLDER in what’s a shady company skirting gambling laws that publicly pushed a market on you extremely hard is incomparable.

Nice try Bucks fan. This obviously is not good, but it isn’t nearly as bad as shilling for a company that profits off of bets relating to bombing and invading other countries, and people dying

You guys know you can just not gamble right

Just an fyi, while Jokic doing this is obviously fucked up, OP is a massive Jokic hater and Giannis fan and pretty much only posts anti Jokic stuff.

It’s not like Jokic has ever pretended to not be this type of person. He very openly supports a dictator, his brothers he brings to games are shit people but are we surprised a guy that loves horse racing is big into sports betting?

The hate for gambling on here is weird. Nobody forcing anyone to gamble wtf do you care so much? Gambling has always and will always be around

This comment section keeps getting more and more ridiculous. What’s next? Violent video games and action movies are bad for the society? gtfo of your mums’ basements
