Jontay Porter took out a $500,000 loan on his house and put all of it on Russian ping-pong. He lost it. The house got sold.
In the video below, the former Raptors big man sits down with The New Yorker in a gray sweater, calm, like a guy who still owns a house.
He told the magazine he has wagered at least $500 million in his life. More than $50 million of it went through FanDuel in one 18-month stretch. He went undrafted in 2019, then averaged 3.7 points in 37 games for Memphis.
In April 2024 the NBA banned him for life. He pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit wire fraud and is still waiting on his sentence.
Would you rather make the NBA and move $500 million, or never make the league and keep your house?

When I was a kid, I wouldn’t have left my house if it caught fire while This Week in Baseball was on.

Maybe Fanatics shouldn’t have bought @Topps - One disaster after another
#CollectVintage
We recently discovered a production error in 2026 Topps Cosmic Chrome Baseball that resulted in Supernova cards for 23 of the 25 players being inadvertently omitted from the product.
We sincerely apologize for this error. To address it, we are introducing a Supernova Card Program that will allow collectors with the eligible Interstellar Gold /50 cards to obtain the corresponding player's Supernova cards.
The Black Hole program remains live and active, with its rules and prizes unchanged other than as provided by this update. The first eligible collector to redeem codes from 10 distinct Supernova cards of the same player and complete the required verification will receive that player’s 1/1 Black Hole Autograph card.

Bob Gibson and Hank Aaron, sharing a laugh. The Cardinals ace won 251 games in his career, plus a 1.12 ERA in 1968 and a record 17 strikeouts in a World Series game. Braves great Aaron hit 755 home runs and still holds the career RBI record with 2,297. Two first-ballot Hall of Famers who never gave an inch. #BobGibson #HankAaron

Alright America, it’s time for us to fly back home to Germany. 🇺🇸🇩🇪
We can’t lie, we’re really, really sad to leave. What an incredible trip this has been.
So many new experiences, so many places we’ve visited and so many amazing people we’ve met along the way. We’re just incredibly thankful that we even had the opportunity to do something like this. We know that being able to travel for this long is far from normal and we don’t take any of it for granted.
This entire trip turned out to be even better than we could have ever imagined.
We’ve been talking about how much we’d love to just keep traveling. Another few weeks on the road, Christmas in America, going to the College Football Playoffs. If we could, we’d do it without thinking twice.
A few people have asked us whether it ever gets tiring. Driving for hours almost every day, constantly changing hotels and always being on the move.
And the answer is: Not at all.
Even after all these weeks, we were still just as excited about exploring this country as we were on day one. There wasn’t a single point where we felt like we’d had enough. We genuinely enjoyed every part of this adventure.
We also really hope you guys enjoyed following along as much as we enjoyed sharing everything with you. Meeting so many of you at stadiums, on campuses and in random places across the country made this trip even more special. Those are memories we’ll never forget.
And then there’s college football. What started as something we were simply curious about has turned into a sport we’ve completely fallen in love with. My two travel buddies are even seriously considering joining an American football team back in Hamburg now. One wants to become a kicker, the other a cornerback and start intercepting passes, haha. We’ll see how that goes.
I don’t really know what else to say. These past weeks have just been incredible and I wish we could do it all over again.
Thank you to everyone who welcomed us, helped us, showed us around, gave us recommendations or simply followed our journey. You made this trip even better than we could have ever imagined.
Until next time, America! 🇺🇸❤️

The director of Godzilla Minus Zero embarrasses other directors again by making a $150m-looking film for an estimated $19m. Takashi Yamazaki is on another level.
SEC will do what they did to Mizzou to Kentucky and Ole Miss. They will protect Georgia,Texas and Alabama as the playoffs get near. Heupel will do it himself to Tennessee. @MichaelWBratton

The irony here is that Bret’s success at Wisconsin/Illinois and failure at Arkansas is a pretty perfect example of how much more difficult life in the SEC is.
NEW: Illinois' Bret Bielema after beating Nebraska:
"But to be in this job, where we’re at right now, 6-3, we beat another 5-3 team. If we were in the SEC, we’d probably be a top-15 team."
