[Chicago Sun Times] Less than 24 hours after watching a glorious night of NBA action on the second day of the regular season, the league office had to deal with a nightmare surrounding the allegations hitting Trail Blazers coach Chauncey Billups, Heat guard Terry Rozier and former Cavaliers player/assistant coach Damon Jones.Those in the NBA office went to bed Wednesday night on top of the sports world, knowing the torch was being passed to players such as Victor Wembanyama, who had turned in a 40-point showcase, and Anthony Edwards, who had produced a 41-point effort.
They woke up Thursday morning to a nightmare.
Trail Blazers head coach — and NBA champion and Basketball Hall of Famer — Chauncey Billups, Heat guard Terry Rozier and former Cavaliers player/assistant coach Damon Jones were arrested as part of an investigation related to illegal sports betting and Mafia-backed rigged poker games.
"Professional sports?" No, I don't watch them, never have and never will.
