WEBVTT - NBA Bans Jontay Porter For Life After Gambling Violation

0:00:00.280 --> 0:00:03.200
<v Speaker 1>It's time for donkeys to day. I mean trying to

0:00:03.200 --> 0:00:04.440
<v Speaker 1>beat donkey today. No more.

0:00:04.519 --> 0:00:06.760
<v Speaker 2>They should be embarrassed by what they already did. I'm

0:00:06.760 --> 0:00:08.760
<v Speaker 2>not making these people do these things called donkey of

0:00:08.800 --> 0:00:11.440
<v Speaker 2>the day, and it really caught me off guard.

0:00:11.600 --> 0:00:14.760
<v Speaker 1>Damn start. The man who got the donkey of the day.

0:00:14.640 --> 0:00:19.160
<v Speaker 2>Today, well, Jess Larry is donkey today for Thursday, April

0:00:19.160 --> 0:00:22.159
<v Speaker 2>eighteen goes to former NBA player johns A Porter. The

0:00:22.200 --> 0:00:25.040
<v Speaker 2>reason I say former is because yesterday we found out

0:00:25.040 --> 0:00:28.520
<v Speaker 2>that he got banned from the NBA for life after

0:00:28.600 --> 0:00:31.640
<v Speaker 2>an investigation reveals he violated lead gambling rules. Let's go

0:00:31.680 --> 0:00:32.960
<v Speaker 2>to ESPN for the report, please.

0:00:33.280 --> 0:00:37.159
<v Speaker 3>The NBA has leveled a lifetime ban on the Toronto

0:00:37.240 --> 0:00:43.120
<v Speaker 3>Raptors Johntay Porter for his involvement in gambling. The league's

0:00:43.159 --> 0:00:49.240
<v Speaker 3>investigation found everything from limiting his own participation in games,

0:00:49.240 --> 0:00:54.040
<v Speaker 3>sharing confidential information with known betters, and betting on as

0:00:54.080 --> 0:01:00.000
<v Speaker 3>many as thirteen NBA games himself, including betting the Toronto

0:01:00.160 --> 0:01:04.000
<v Speaker 3>Raptors to lose. And I think even more damning for

0:01:04.280 --> 0:01:07.880
<v Speaker 3>the NBA is that this remains an open investigation.

0:01:08.440 --> 0:01:09.480
<v Speaker 1>The league has turned.

0:01:09.280 --> 0:01:13.720
<v Speaker 3>Over their fightings their findings the federal authorities. This may

0:01:13.760 --> 0:01:17.199
<v Speaker 3>not be the end of this pro but Johntay Porter

0:01:17.880 --> 0:01:22.520
<v Speaker 3>leveled with a lifetime ban from Commissioner Adam Silver today.

0:01:22.640 --> 0:01:24.640
<v Speaker 2>Now, let me put this in perspective. Paint the picture.

0:01:24.760 --> 0:01:27.160
<v Speaker 2>Johontey Porter is twenty four years old. He wasn't a

0:01:27.160 --> 0:01:29.120
<v Speaker 2>star in Toronto, probably would have never been a star.

0:01:29.160 --> 0:01:31.840
<v Speaker 2>But according to the Toronto Raptors, they had high hopes

0:01:31.840 --> 0:01:33.919
<v Speaker 2>for him and felt that eventually he would have developed

0:01:33.920 --> 0:01:34.280
<v Speaker 2>into a.

0:01:34.240 --> 0:01:35.880
<v Speaker 1>Solid backup center for Toronto.

0:01:35.920 --> 0:01:37.959
<v Speaker 2>The Raptors said, if you would have stayed healthy, he

0:01:37.959 --> 0:01:39.000
<v Speaker 2>would have probably.

0:01:38.640 --> 0:01:40.039
<v Speaker 1>Been back with the organization.

0:01:40.680 --> 0:01:43.160
<v Speaker 2>They said he provided some defensive mobility with an adequate

0:01:43.200 --> 0:01:45.520
<v Speaker 2>passer for a backup big man, and had some flaw

0:01:45.560 --> 0:01:48.320
<v Speaker 2>spacing ability. The Raptors said, it's entirely possible he could

0:01:48.320 --> 0:01:50.640
<v Speaker 2>have landed a minimum contract worth for about two point

0:01:50.720 --> 0:01:54.280
<v Speaker 2>one million dollars. Now the NBA, right, let's talk about

0:01:54.280 --> 0:01:56.840
<v Speaker 2>the NBA for a second. It's such an exclusive club.

0:01:56.960 --> 0:01:58.680
<v Speaker 2>Do you know how many things in your life have

0:01:58.800 --> 0:02:00.960
<v Speaker 2>to go right for you in order to make it

0:02:01.080 --> 0:02:03.720
<v Speaker 2>to the NBA. Number one genetics, Okay, you have to

0:02:03.800 --> 0:02:05.440
<v Speaker 2>hit the lottery in the genetic gene pool.

0:02:05.480 --> 0:02:07.200
<v Speaker 1>In order for the NBA to be a possibility.

0:02:07.320 --> 0:02:10.639
<v Speaker 2>Jontay Porter is six foot ten. I did some research,

0:02:10.800 --> 0:02:13.760
<v Speaker 2>and by research I mean google. Five eight is the

0:02:13.800 --> 0:02:16.440
<v Speaker 2>worldwide average among men in regard to the height.

0:02:16.639 --> 0:02:17.480
<v Speaker 1>Six ' ten is.

0:02:17.480 --> 0:02:21.399
<v Speaker 2>So rare that it's literally one in a million. One

0:02:21.480 --> 0:02:24.080
<v Speaker 2>in a million people are six foot ten. And if

0:02:24.120 --> 0:02:26.520
<v Speaker 2>you six ten and never played any type of basketball,

0:02:26.600 --> 0:02:29.040
<v Speaker 2>then your nickname should be top shelf, okay, because that's

0:02:29.080 --> 0:02:31.280
<v Speaker 2>all you're good for, getting stuff off the top shelf.

0:02:31.320 --> 0:02:32.840
<v Speaker 1>Your height is one in a million.

0:02:32.600 --> 0:02:35.480
<v Speaker 2>So God gave you a physical gift that you really

0:02:35.520 --> 0:02:38.959
<v Speaker 2>can't do much with other then play basketball. If you

0:02:39.040 --> 0:02:41.359
<v Speaker 2>six ten and never played basketball, you just a twizzler

0:02:41.600 --> 0:02:44.440
<v Speaker 2>okay long for no damn reason, and you look pretty

0:02:44.480 --> 0:02:48.440
<v Speaker 2>stupid doing anything else. When you six foot ten, okay,

0:02:48.440 --> 0:02:51.480
<v Speaker 2>Coconut long boy, and people see you anywhere else other

0:02:51.520 --> 0:02:52.959
<v Speaker 2>than a basketball court, they.

0:02:52.880 --> 0:02:56.799
<v Speaker 1>Just assume something went wrong. Okay, you're just too.

0:02:56.600 --> 0:02:58.840
<v Speaker 2>Tall to do anything. You're too tall to be a mechanic.

0:02:58.960 --> 0:03:01.240
<v Speaker 2>You're too tall to be a salt developer. You wouldn't

0:03:01.240 --> 0:03:03.440
<v Speaker 2>be able to sleep well on a flight, okay if

0:03:03.440 --> 0:03:05.680
<v Speaker 2>your pilot was six foot ten. Can you imagine if

0:03:05.720 --> 0:03:07.880
<v Speaker 2>you saw a six foot ten pilot, all right, daddy,

0:03:07.880 --> 0:03:10.840
<v Speaker 2>long legs would drive you crazy, okay, thinking about what

0:03:10.919 --> 0:03:12.959
<v Speaker 2>is he doing with his legs and that cockpit. I'm

0:03:13.000 --> 0:03:15.120
<v Speaker 2>just trying to explain to you how rare being six

0:03:15.160 --> 0:03:17.400
<v Speaker 2>foot ten is, Okay, one in a million. And then

0:03:17.480 --> 0:03:19.200
<v Speaker 2>just to make it to the NBA. There is only

0:03:19.240 --> 0:03:22.440
<v Speaker 2>five hundred and sixty players in the NBA. Think about

0:03:22.480 --> 0:03:24.880
<v Speaker 2>how few that is, Okay, think about how rare it

0:03:24.960 --> 0:03:25.920
<v Speaker 2>is to make it to the league.

0:03:26.000 --> 0:03:27.280
<v Speaker 1>Five hundred and sixty players.

0:03:27.320 --> 0:03:30.520
<v Speaker 2>Only one point two percent of college players make it

0:03:30.560 --> 0:03:33.360
<v Speaker 2>from college to the NBA. So usually the path is

0:03:33.400 --> 0:03:35.640
<v Speaker 2>college to the NBA. And look how difficult that is.

0:03:35.800 --> 0:03:39.240
<v Speaker 2>Johntay Porter's path was even more difficult. Difficult, okay. He

0:03:39.280 --> 0:03:42.360
<v Speaker 2>did one season at Missouri, was named to the twenty

0:03:42.440 --> 0:03:45.840
<v Speaker 2>eighteen SEC All Freshman Team, one SEC six Man of

0:03:45.880 --> 0:03:49.440
<v Speaker 2>the Year, tore both his ACL and MCL in the

0:03:49.480 --> 0:03:53.520
<v Speaker 2>scrimmage game, missed his sophomore season while rehabbing the injury.

0:03:53.840 --> 0:03:56.640
<v Speaker 2>Still decided to enter his name into the twenty nineteen

0:03:56.760 --> 0:04:00.360
<v Speaker 2>NBA draft, and God bless him with an opportunity to,

0:04:00.960 --> 0:04:03.520
<v Speaker 2>you know, get signed by the Grizzlies. He went undrafted,

0:04:03.520 --> 0:04:05.320
<v Speaker 2>but he got signed by the Grizzlies in twenty twenty,

0:04:05.480 --> 0:04:08.080
<v Speaker 2>but he didn't play while rehabbing from the ACL. The

0:04:08.120 --> 0:04:11.280
<v Speaker 2>Grizzlies re signed him to a multi year contract. He

0:04:11.400 --> 0:04:14.520
<v Speaker 2>ended up getting waived, then spend time in the G League,

0:04:14.600 --> 0:04:16.640
<v Speaker 2>then signed a two way deal with the Raptors. You know,

0:04:16.680 --> 0:04:18.640
<v Speaker 2>when he played for the Grizzlies he made two point

0:04:18.680 --> 0:04:21.560
<v Speaker 2>three million dollars over three seasons. Do you hear how

0:04:21.560 --> 0:04:24.000
<v Speaker 2>difficult it was for him to make it to the

0:04:24.120 --> 0:04:27.200
<v Speaker 2>NBA And he's not even the first in his family

0:04:27.320 --> 0:04:27.840
<v Speaker 2>to do it.

0:04:27.880 --> 0:04:30.880
<v Speaker 1>That's how you know it's kind of destiny, right.

0:04:30.920 --> 0:04:33.760
<v Speaker 2>His brother Michael Porter, junior NBA World champion for the

0:04:33.800 --> 0:04:36.440
<v Speaker 2>Denver Nuggets averages sixteen and seven this year, got a

0:04:36.480 --> 0:04:38.800
<v Speaker 2>five year, one hundred and seventy nine million dollar contract.

0:04:38.839 --> 0:04:42.320
<v Speaker 2>So Jonte has a blueprint for this, Okay, there is

0:04:42.360 --> 0:04:44.240
<v Speaker 2>a role model for him and all of this, all

0:04:44.279 --> 0:04:44.640
<v Speaker 2>he had.

0:04:44.560 --> 0:04:46.680
<v Speaker 1>To do is continue to do what he's been doing,

0:04:46.839 --> 0:04:47.840
<v Speaker 1>which is work.

0:04:48.480 --> 0:04:51.640
<v Speaker 2>You've been working hard your whole entire life, working hard

0:04:51.680 --> 0:04:54.719
<v Speaker 2>to get to a certain point, only to blow a

0:04:54.839 --> 0:04:59.159
<v Speaker 2>potential multi million dollar opportunity for ten dollars an hour,

0:05:00.279 --> 0:05:02.240
<v Speaker 2>got he got twenty one thousand dollars was the payout

0:05:02.320 --> 0:05:04.560
<v Speaker 2>right from the gambling, So twenty one thousand dollars a year.

0:05:04.680 --> 0:05:07.720
<v Speaker 1>That's about ten dollars an hour. Johntay, if you was old.

0:05:07.480 --> 0:05:09.720
<v Speaker 2>On your last legs in the league you done played

0:05:09.760 --> 0:05:11.760
<v Speaker 2>about thirteen fourteen seasons.

0:05:11.480 --> 0:05:13.960
<v Speaker 1>I would be like whatever, I might even understand.

0:05:14.040 --> 0:05:17.279
<v Speaker 2>But you twenty four in a league where you don't

0:05:17.279 --> 0:05:19.719
<v Speaker 2>even have to do much to get paid nowadays except

0:05:19.720 --> 0:05:22.000
<v Speaker 2>be tall, and now you're about to be in this

0:05:22.040 --> 0:05:25.320
<v Speaker 2>world tall for no damn reason, just out here looking

0:05:25.360 --> 0:05:27.960
<v Speaker 2>like you're ready to kidnap clouds because you got banned

0:05:28.040 --> 0:05:29.760
<v Speaker 2>from the NBA for life.

0:05:30.440 --> 0:05:32.719
<v Speaker 1>Not salute the Bonzie Wells and Rashid Wallace.

0:05:33.040 --> 0:05:36.080
<v Speaker 2>They were talking about this situation on the Rashid and

0:05:36.120 --> 0:05:39.000
<v Speaker 2>Tyler Show and they absolutely gave John Tay the credit

0:05:39.040 --> 0:05:40.240

<v Speaker 1>He got donkey. He's a donkey, he mother.

0:05:53.520 --> 0:05:56.279
<v Speaker 2>Life is about choices, y'all. Okay, Destiny is not a

0:05:56.279 --> 0:05:57.880
<v Speaker 2>matter of chance. It's a matter of choice. I tell
