He also speaks on the current NBA gambling scandal, the impact of legalized betting on athletes, and why clear rules and resources are needed to protect the game.

The FBI has launched a massive investigation into a gambling scandal involving several high-profile NBA figures including Terry Rozier, Chauncey Billups, and Damon Jones. The federal indictments allege that Rozier leaked inside information about his playing status for betting advantages, while Jones and Billups were allegedly involved in high-stakes poker games rigged with spy tech. The scandal is tied to an organized crime syndicate and raises serious concerns about the NBA’s growing ties with legalized sports betting. With ESPN removing betting lines from coverage and questions surrounding unnamed individuals and mob affiliations, this story is only getting started. The investigation threatens careers, reputations, and the integrity of the game.

The 2025-26 NBA season kicked off with major headlines and big performances. Michael Jordan’s new $40 million NBC contributor role sparked debate after his opening segment focused on a personal free throw story instead of current basketball commentary. The Oklahoma City Thunder secured a huge double-overtime win over Kevin Durant and the Houston Rockets, who looked strong but clearly lacked a true point guard. Skinny Luka Doncic dropped 43 points and dominated Deandre Ayton, while the Golden State Warriors looked deep and dangerous with veterans like Al Horford and sharpshooter Buddy Hield. Maria Taylor’s return to NBA coverage on NBC was a highlight, but questions remain about Carmelo Anthony’s outfit and the production value of NBC’s new presentation. Zion Williamson’s season hangs in the balance with $90 million on the line, and Kawhi Leonard’s off-court controversy could impact the Clippers. Let us know who you think were the biggest winners and losers from opening night.
