Remember Jonte Porter, who was banned for life by the NBA? On June 13, Beijing time, investigative lawyer Jeff Jensen issued a statement: "Due to gambling addiction, Joan Tai Porter has been overwhelmed. He is currently undergoing medical treatment and is fully cooperating with law enforcement. Meanwhile, all four of Potter's accomplices have been caught.

How could Potter still have accomplices? The so-called accomplices are actually his creditors. Federal prosecutors allege that Porter owed one of his accomplices large gambling debts earlier this year, and that he "encouraged and threatened" Porter to pay those debts by losing the game. In addition to his own games, Porter also bet on the rest of the games, including the loss of his own Raptors.

For example, in the game between the Raptors and the Kings on March 21, the handicap for Jonte Porter was 7.5 points and 5.5 rebounds. He only played less than 3 minutes before retiring due to injury, and his data was fixed at 0 points and 2 rebounds, which broke the bookmaker. Porter's accomplice wagered $80,000 for a whopping $1.1 million in prizes. The dealer found the anomaly and did not pay out.

Another company also discovered the abnormal behavior of Porter's handicap: on January 27, the Raptors played the Clippers, and Porter's handicap was 5.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists + 0.5 three-pointers. As a result, someone bought Porter's next handicap, he only played 4 minutes in this game and retired from injury, and the data was fixed at 0 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist + 0 three-point shots, and the next set was all achieved.

In addition to the injury + bet achievement, the company also found a problem with the bet amount: usually the limit of a market is $1,000 or $2,000, but the accounts that bet on Porter are as high as $10,000-$20,000. To put it simply, Potter cooperated with his accomplices, retired early to win the handicap, and paid off his gambling debts.

Porter was a true gambler, and in addition to these two "pay off gambling debts" games, Porter also bet on 13 NBA games while he was in the Development League. These games were not played by Porter, so he won and lost his bets, and the net profit was $21,965. For comparison, Porter's total NBA career salary is $2.398 million.

On April 18 this year, the NBA officially announced that Joan Te Porter was banned for life by the league. Two months later, all four of his accomplices were arrested by the police. Jonte Porter was born on November 15, 1999, is 2.08 meters tall, averaged 3.7 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game in his NBA career, and he is the younger brother of Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr.

Another younger brother of Michael Porter Jr., Cobain Porter, who plays for the University of Denver, was sentenced to six years in prison for hitting and killing a 42-year-old woman by a drunk driver. You think that's the end of it? On May 1 of this year, Porter Jr.'s younger brother, Jevon Porter, was arrested in Missouri on suspicion of drunk driving and speeding. Wait, how many younger brothers does little Porter have?

The Porter family has eight children, and Michael Porter Jr. is the third in the family. It was the fourth child who was banned for life by the NBA, the fifth child who caused death by drunk driving, and the sixth child who was arrested for drunk driving and speeding. Porter Jr. did not perform well in the second round of the playoffs, and was more or less affected by these off-court troubles, and no younger brother gave him peace of mind!

Growing up in such a family, it is really not easy for Michael Porter Jr. to achieve where he is now......
