  Speaker 2: eighteen goes to former NBA player johns A Porter. The

  Speaker 2: reason I say former is because yesterday we found out

  Speaker 2: that he got banned from the NBA for life after
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: an investigation reveals he violated lead gambling rules. Let's go
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: to ESPN for the report, please.
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: The NBA has leveled a lifetime ban on the Toronto
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: Raptors Johntay Porter for his involvement in gambling. The league's
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: investigation found everything from limiting his own participation in games,
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: sharing confidential information with known betters, and betting on as
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: many as thirteen NBA games himself, including betting the Toronto
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: Raptors to lose. And I think even more damning for
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: the NBA is that this remains an open investigation.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: The league has turned.
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: Over their fightings their findings the federal authorities. This may
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: not be the end of this pro but Johntay Porter
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: leveled with a lifetime ban from Commissioner Adam Silver today.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: Now, let me put this in perspective. Paint the picture.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: Johontey Porter is twenty four years old. He wasn't a
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: star in Toronto, probably would have never been a star.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: But according to the Toronto Raptors, they had high hopes
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: for him and felt that eventually he would have developed
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: into a.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: Solid backup center for Toronto.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: The Raptors said, if you would have stayed healthy, he
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: would have probably.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: Been back with the organization.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: They said he provided some defensive mobility with an adequate
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: passer for a backup big man, and had some flaw
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: spacing ability. The Raptors said, it's entirely possible he could
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: have landed a minimum contract worth for about two point
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: one million dollars. Now the NBA, right, let's talk about
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: the NBA for a second. It's such an exclusive club.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: Do you know how many things in your life have
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: to go right for you in order to make it
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: to the NBA. Number one genetics, Okay, you have to
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: hit the lottery in the genetic gene pool.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: In order for the NBA to be a possibility.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: Jontay Porter is six foot ten. I did some research,
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: and by research I mean google. Five eight is the
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: worldwide average among men in regard to the height.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Six ' ten is.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: So rare that it's literally one in a million. One
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: in a million people are six foot ten. And if
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: you six ten and never played any type of basketball,
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: then your nickname should be top shelf, okay, because that's
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: all you're good for, getting stuff off the top shelf.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: Your height is one in a million.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: So God gave you a physical gift that you really
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: can't do much with other then play basketball. If you
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: six ten and never played basketball, you just a twizzler
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: okay long for no damn reason, and you look pretty
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: stupid doing anything else. When you six foot ten, okay,
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: Coconut long boy, and people see you anywhere else other
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: than a basketball court, they.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Just assume something went wrong. Okay, you're just too.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: Tall to do anything. You're too tall to be a mechanic.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: You're too tall to be a salt developer. You wouldn't
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: be able to sleep well on a flight, okay if
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: your pilot was six foot ten. Can you imagine if
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: you saw a six foot ten pilot, all right, daddy,
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: long legs would drive you crazy, okay, thinking about what
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: is he doing with his legs and that cockpit. I'm
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: just trying to explain to you how rare being six
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: foot ten is, Okay, one in a million. And then
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: just to make it to the NBA. There is only
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: five hundred and sixty players in the NBA. Think about
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: how few that is, Okay, think about how rare it
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: is to make it to the league.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: Five hundred and sixty players.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: Only one point two percent of college players make it
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: from college to the NBA. So usually the path is
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: college to the NBA. And look how difficult that is.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: Johntay Porter's path was even more difficult. Difficult, okay. He
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: did one season at Missouri, was named to the twenty
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: eighteen SEC All Freshman Team, one SEC six Man of
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: the Year, tore both his ACL and MCL in the
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: scrimmage game, missed his sophomore season while rehabbing the injury.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: Still decided to enter his name into the twenty nineteen
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: NBA draft, and God bless him with an opportunity to,
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: you know, get signed by the Grizzlies. He went undrafted,
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: but he got signed by the Grizzlies in twenty twenty,
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: but he didn't play while rehabbing from the ACL. The
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: Grizzlies re signed him to a multi year contract. He
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: ended up getting waived, then spend time in the G League,
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: then signed a two way deal with the Raptors. You know,
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: when he played for the Grizzlies he made two point
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: three million dollars over three seasons. Do you hear how
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: difficult it was for him to make it to the
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: NBA And he's not even the first in his family
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: to do it.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: That's how you know it's kind of destiny, right.

  Speaker 2: His brother Michael Porter, junior NBA World champion for the
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: Denver Nuggets averages sixteen and seven this year, got a
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: five year, one hundred and seventy nine million dollar contract.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: So Jonte has a blueprint for this, Okay, there is
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: a role model for him and all of this, all
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: he had.

• 4:46
  Speaker 1: which is work.

  Speaker 2: potential multi million dollar opportunity for ten dollars an hour,
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: got he got twenty one thousand dollars was the payout
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: right from the gambling, So twenty one thousand dollars a year.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: That's about ten dollars an hour. Johntay, if you was old.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: On your last legs in the league you done played
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: about thirteen fourteen seasons.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: I would be like whatever, I might even understand.

  Speaker 2: But you twenty four in a league where you don't
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: even have to do much to get paid nowadays except
