Wow 🤯! I'm surprised it took them so long to take action on something that's been going down in plain sight. It's crazy how one guy gets caught and suddenly everyone else is implicated. What's next, are they gonna shut down the whole league? The NBA has a huge reputation to uphold, and this is not good for its image 🤕.

It's crazy to think about how much money they're talking about - millions of dollars just hanging in the air like that. I feel bad for the fans, though, 'cause it's gonna be tough to watch them deal with this kind of drama. And what's up with the head coach getting involved in a poker game? That's some serious league politics going on... 😬
