NBA Gambling Scandal Sparks Debate
Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley disagreed on the recent NBA gambling scandal during "Inside the NBA" on Thursday.
Host Ernie Johnson asked the crew to discuss the matter after the FBI arrested several individuals, including Heat guard Terry Rozier, Trail Blazers coach Chauncey Billups, and former NBA player Damon Jones, as part of a federal probe into illegal gambling and rigged poker games.
Smith emphasized that gambling is an addiction, stating it's illogical for a player to risk millions to make less on a bet.
Barkley disagreed, attributing the behavior to stupidity, as Rozier allegedly facilitated bets on his own stat lines when he knew he would be pulled from the game early.
