Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's time for donkeys to day. I mean trying to
beat donkey today. No more.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
They should be embarrassed by what they already did. I'm
not making these people do these things called donkey of
the day, and it really caught me off guard.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
Damn start. The man who got the donkey of the day.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Today, well, Jess Larry is donkey today for Thursday, April
eighteen goes to former NBA player johns A Porter. The
reason I say former is because yesterday we found out
that he got banned from the NBA for life after
an investigation reveals he violated lead gambling rules. Let's go
to ESPN for the report, please.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
The NBA has leveled a lifetime ban on the Toronto
Raptors Johntay Porter for his involvement in gambling. The league's
investigation found everything from limiting his own participation in games,
sharing confidential information with known betters, and betting on as
(00:54):
many as thirteen NBA games himself, including betting the Toronto
Raptors to lose. And I think even more damning for
the NBA is that this remains an open investigation.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
The league has turned.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Over their fightings their findings the federal authorities. This may
not be the end of this pro but Johntay Porter
leveled with a lifetime ban from Commissioner Adam Silver today.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Now, let me put this in perspective. Paint the picture.
Johontey Porter is twenty four years old. He wasn't a
star in Toronto, probably would have never been a star.
But according to the Toronto Raptors, they had high hopes
for him and felt that eventually he would have developed
into a.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Solid backup center for Toronto.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
The Raptors said, if you would have stayed healthy, he
would have probably.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Been back with the organization.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
They said he provided some defensive mobility with an adequate
passer for a backup big man, and had some flaw
spacing ability. The Raptors said, it's entirely possible he could
have landed a minimum contract worth for about two point
one million dollars. Now the NBA, right, let's talk about
the NBA for a second. It's such an exclusive club.
Do you know how many things in your life have
to go right for you in order to make it
(02:01):
to the NBA. Number one genetics, Okay, you have to
hit the lottery in the genetic gene pool.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
In order for the NBA to be a possibility.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Jontay Porter is six foot ten. I did some research,
and by research I mean google. Five eight is the
worldwide average among men in regard to the height.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Six ' ten is.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
So rare that it's literally one in a million. One
in a million people are six foot ten. And if
you six ten and never played any type of basketball,
then your nickname should be top shelf, okay, because that's
all you're good for, getting stuff off the top shelf.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Your height is one in a million.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
So God gave you a physical gift that you really
can't do much with other then play basketball. If you
six ten and never played basketball, you just a twizzler
okay long for no damn reason, and you look pretty
stupid doing anything else. When you six foot ten, okay,
Coconut long boy, and people see you anywhere else other
than a basketball court, they.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Just assume something went wrong. Okay, you're just too.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Tall to do anything. You're too tall to be a mechanic.
You're too tall to be a salt developer. You wouldn't
be able to sleep well on a flight, okay if
your pilot was six foot ten. Can you imagine if
you saw a six foot ten pilot, all right, daddy,
long legs would drive you crazy, okay, thinking about what
is he doing with his legs and that cockpit. I'm
just trying to explain to you how rare being six
foot ten is, Okay, one in a million. And then
(03:17):
just to make it to the NBA. There is only
five hundred and sixty players in the NBA. Think about
how few that is, Okay, think about how rare it
is to make it to the league.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Five hundred and sixty players.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Only one point two percent of college players make it
from college to the NBA. So usually the path is
college to the NBA. And look how difficult that is.
Johntay Porter's path was even more difficult. Difficult, okay. He
did one season at Missouri, was named to the twenty
eighteen SEC All Freshman Team, one SEC six Man of
the Year, tore both his ACL and MCL in the
(03:49):
scrimmage game, missed his sophomore season while rehabbing the injury.
Still decided to enter his name into the twenty nineteen
NBA draft, and God bless him with an opportunity to,
you know, get signed by the Grizzlies. He went undrafted,
but he got signed by the Grizzlies in twenty twenty,
but he didn't play while rehabbing from the ACL. The
Grizzlies re signed him to a multi year contract. He
(04:11):
ended up getting waived, then spend time in the G League,
then signed a two way deal with the Raptors. You know,
when he played for the Grizzlies he made two point
three million dollars over three seasons. Do you hear how
difficult it was for him to make it to the
NBA And he's not even the first in his family
to do it.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
That's how you know it's kind of destiny, right.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
His brother Michael Porter, junior NBA World champion for the
Denver Nuggets averages sixteen and seven this year, got a
five year, one hundred and seventy nine million dollar contract.
So Jonte has a blueprint for this, Okay, there is
a role model for him and all of this, all
he had.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
To do is continue to do what he's been doing,
which is work.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
You've been working hard your whole entire life, working hard
to get to a certain point, only to blow a
potential multi million dollar opportunity for ten dollars an hour,
got he got twenty one thousand dollars was the payout
right from the gambling, So twenty one thousand dollars a year.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
That's about ten dollars an hour. Johntay, if you was old.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
On your last legs in the league you done played
about thirteen fourteen seasons.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
I would be like whatever, I might even understand.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
But you twenty four in a league where you don't
even have to do much to get paid nowadays except
be tall, and now you're about to be in this
world tall for no damn reason, just out here looking
like you're ready to kidnap clouds because you got banned
from the NBA for life.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Not salute the Bonzie Wells and Rashid Wallace.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
They were talking about this situation on the Rashid and
Tyler Show and they absolutely gave John Tay the credit
he deserves for being stupid.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
So let's hear it in the words of Charlemagne of God.
He got donkey. He's a donkey, he mother.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Life is about choices, y'all. Okay, Destiny is not a
matter of chance. It's a matter of choice. I tell
you all this all the time. One poor choice can
ruin everything, and he made a poor choice.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
All right, Well, thank you for that. Donkey Today well deserved.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Yes, indeed, Donkey Today is sponsored by renowned personal injury
attorney Michael to Bull lamb is soft.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Don't be a donkey when you need a fighter on
your side. If you're ever injured, go to Michael to
Bull dot com. That's Michael to Bull dot com. And
when you mess with the bull, you get the horns.
Wake that ass up in the morning. The Breakfast Club
