Just asked Victor Wembanyama if he’d ever consider promoting a sports betting company.

“Absolutely not. I will never do that. Honestly, I think it's very sad to see some players promote it. .. Everybody does whatever they want, but without me.”

I've been a huge LeBron guy for forever but the Polymarket stuff is so discouraging. Like, legacy-damning discouraging.

He doesn't need the money and there are only downsides from his association with them.

Such a stupid misstep that wasn't necessary at all.

all the top guys of his generation of NBA are sell outs:

- Giannis is an investor of Kalshi and actively promoted it (HUGE conflict of interest and shouldn't be allowed in the first place), and especially given Kalshi's partnership with NBA (another HUGE HUGE red flag and exposes the league to a ton of liability given their history with refs / players betting on games)

• Steph Curry is an investor to various Israeli security tech companies (that all contribute toward their genocidal regime)
  
• Lebron / Polymarket
  
• KD / Fanduel and Draft Kings
  

etc etc etc

But Kalshi isn’t betting. It’s predictions! /s
