. I'm a huge basketball fan and I love watching games on weekends with my friends but this news is like a punch to the gut... I mean, who does that?! Illicit betting rings? It just goes against everything the league is supposed to be about: fair play and sportsmanship. And it's not just the players involved, it's the whole ecosystem - sponsors, owners, fans... everyone gets affected when someone breaks the rules. I'm sure the authorities are doing their best to root out these operations but still, it's hard to imagine Chauncey Billups or Terry Rozier getting caught up in something like this

 or DFS side hustles... Newsflash: just because someone makes a little extra money through gaming doesn't mean they're part of some vast, sinister betting ring. It's just not that common, guys.
