“This is just the tip of the iceberg. Everybody better brace themselves, because he’s coming.”
The recent arrests of NBA stars and coaches over alleged insider betting and mob-backed poker schemes have sparked bold claims from ESPN host Stephen A. Smith, who now says President Donald Trump is using the legal actions as part of a broader “revenge agenda.”
Smith reacted to Thursday’s arrests: 30 individuals in total, including Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier, former Cleveland Cavaliers player and assistant coach Damon Jones, and Portland Trail Blazers head coach Chauncey Billups, warning that this could just be the beginning. “This is just the tip of the iceberg. Everybody better brace themselves, because he’s coming”, Smith said.
The indictments cover two major schemes. Rozier allegedly traded insider information to profit from sports betting, even faking an injury to manipulate outcomes.
