Wasn't his prop bet with Stevenson for $10k? Seems strange they'd choose to focus on this.

Because an NBA player is betting fans during a game he's playing in? It doesn't matter how much it is. Gambling is gambling. I personally think it's awesome, but there are "moral" questions.

Not when it's a $10 bet on something like "if given the opportunity to take the last shot, I will make it."

Betting on your own team winning or losing is clearly different.

PS I agree that it's awesome. It's harmless fun.
