Re: NBA Regular Season 2023-24 f./ NBA In-Season Tournament 2023-24
I had no idea one could place prop bets on an individual player's performance in a single game. That's just begging for crookedness, especially in the NBA. Hopefully the feds will investigate everyone Porter dealt with. You know he's not the only one to take a dive to help someone win a bet. (But it...

I remember that one, now that you mention it.
He was not a pitcher you'd expect to hit a homer. He only had 2 HRs in 600+ PAs before the AL adopted the DH.
