So I know I keep talking about the sports betting thing, but so the date in question for Terry Rozier, one of the dates in question that they brought up, the date was March 23rd, 2023. That's the date. It was Hornets versus Pelicans, March 23rd, 2023. And if you look at Rozier's box score for that day, he had five points, four rebounds, two assists minus 13 plus minus in 10 minutes. And then left the game with a sore foot. So he played 10 minutes.

That's why I was confused. Why didn't you only play 10 minutes? Well, he only played 10 minutes because he left the game with a sore foot. Now I, okay, now I need to look at Terry Rozier's game log from that year. Terry Rozier game log, 2023. I'm not the first person who's done this. All right. So Terry Rozier, 2023.

So that was March 23rd, and he left the game. So that was in 2023. I need 2022-2020 is what I need here. Game log. I need 2022-2020-3 is what I need. So there he is on March 23rd. There is no March 20. Oh, there it is against the Pelicans.

Was that the last game of the year? I think it was. So if March 23rd, 2023 is the year or the game, that might have been the last game. of the year. Let me see what the, or at least it was his last game of the year. So it wasn't. That's only 74 games, right? So because the Pelicans were 36 and 37. So they played 73. The Pelicans have played 74. So that would have been Rozier's last game of that season. He didn't play again that year. So his foot soreness, which took him out of that game, but that's the date, I believe, in question. If I recall correctly, listening to the audio earlier, and then you Google it about Terry Rozier, one of the dates in question is, March 23rd, 2023.

The Dayton question when Sportsbook removed betting props for Terry Rozier, and he underperforms significantly in his game. Suspicious betting, the incident is under investigation because of unusual activities surrounding the betting odds for Rozier's performance. So, look, I can't get enough of this. It's everything that I find interesting. Sports betting, the mob, prop bets, NBA, drama, like, everything about it is fascinating. me. And by the way, this is like back in January of 2025, so earlier this year, this

story was already out there, and this was the game that was in question when he was playing with the heat. The game involving Rozier that is in question was played March 23, 2023, a matchup between the Hornets and the Pelicans. Rozier played the first nine minutes, 36 seconds of that game, did not return, citing foot issues, and he did not play again that season. Charlotte had eight games remaining and was not in playoff contingent, so it did not it seemed particularly unusual that Rozier was shut down for the season's final games. In that March 23rd game, Rozier finished with five points, four rebounds, two assists in his opening period, a productive quarter, but well below his usual total output for a full game.

Posts still online from March 23rd, 2023 show some betters were furious with the sports books that evening when it became evident that Rozier was not going to return to the game after the first quarter, with many turning to social media to say that something shady had been gone on regarding the prop bets involving his stats that night. This sounds like my wife. That sounds like Jilly. I wouldn't doubt that somehow Jilly bet on this game. It wouldn't shock me. One, because she

loves to bet on basketball. One frustrated better posted an image of a ticket for a three-leg parlay where a $65 wager would have won $401. The better played over six and a half goals in the Tampa Bay Ottawa NHL game over eight and a half rebounds for Julius Randall, both of which hit. But the ticket

didn't cash because Rozier finished well below his prop of 32 combined points. assists and rebounds, the better picked Rozier to exceed those numbers. I've also watched videos, and I don't think it was from this particular game, but maybe it was. Let me see where these Rozier... This was not from this game. This is from when Rozier was playing with the heat.

And so this would have been after that. But I'm watching videos of Rozier's turnovers, and the thing just says Terry Rozier, guilty as hell. Dude, some of these... If you've ever watched the movie Blue Chips, whenever Pete Bell, the character played by Nick Nolty, the coach, finds out from one of the big boosters that there was a game that he

bought off one of the players, character named Tony, shave points. And they go back and watch the video, and all the dudes and the coach, like, man, Tony had a horrible game that day and then Coach Bell's looking at that, and he's like, no, dog. He's like, he shaved points.

This is what that looks like, but actually worse. Because, like, you watch what Rozier is doing in this. Dude, this is against the cab. So this is, I guess, last year or the year before, I'm not sure. But this dude is like dribbling the ball off his foot. He's making like passes that are so obviously turnovers. So there's got to be more in question in this, right?

There's got to be more. But like he's making passes right to the defense. He's shooting air balls, layups that aren't hitting the rim. Like, I've seen multiple air balls in this game from a pretty high-level NBA player. balls that are well short that are just grazing the rim ball I mean every one of his shots are well short

when you watch this you're like oh yeah like the title the subject of this being Terry Rozier guilty as hell you ain't lying chief it looks like Terry Rojier guilty as hell in this one back to the story about the game against

the Hornets and Pelicans let me read some more of the details on that some sports books offered Rozier prop bets. His totals for that night were generally set around 21.5.6 assist and four rebounds on March 23rd, then took them down hours before the start of the Charlotte, New Orleans game. It was not clear why this happened, and some betters wondered aloud why that unusual move had taken place. Rozier was not listed on the team's injury report. God, think about this. Rozier is in the third year of a four-year, $96 million contract. Think about the

absurdity of that, man. Like you got so deep in with the mob and whatever the hell it is you're doing. I need details on this. I need to know how a dude has a $96 million deal. And that's not the only deal he's had. He's 30, so he's probably, I mean, I'd like to know what Terry Rozier's career earnings are. Terry Rozier career earnings. This dude's got to be $150, $200 million or something. Terry Rozier's career earnings top $160 million. So this dude is an NBA player has made, unless he's just blown all that money, which I guess is possible. But the guy's got $160 million that he's made. Again, that's contracts.

That's not taxes and a lot of other factors. So it's easy to say, oh, he's made $160 million. But he's made $160 million. So the guy's made $160 million before taxes or whatever. And we're looking at a dude that's getting involved with organized crime. Let's look at some of his, like you look at his other deals. These are the deals that Terry Rozier has had. As a rookie, four years, $8 million deal.

next deal with the Hornets, three years, $56 million. Next deal, four years, $96 million. So this dude has just been bringing home bread, man, just bread. And he's pissed it all the way to go bet on this shit. I got to know more about this. I got to know how he got involved. I need to know why he got involved. I need to know how he was approached about this.

You don't just make $160 million. and one day just go, yeah, I want to start throwing games. I find it hard to believe it was a one-off deal because we know the story about the 23rd in 2023, March 23rd, but we've also seen other videos where a dude that's making that kind of money doesn't play that bad. A dude that's an NBA player that's at that high of a level doesn't play that bad. There's no way. I got to know more details. Like one day when Terry Rozier sits down to get interviewed by somebody and it's like on 60 minutes or something,

and we get a deep interview with Terry Rozier, I need to know what got him into this. Like, that's the fascinating part, not the fact that they did it, not the fact that, you know, Chauncey Billups, who's probably made a lot of money in his life and he's the head coach of the Portland Trailblazers. Not that that happened. Like, yes, that's fascinating,

but it's not that fascinating that somebody does something stupid. I want to know the why. I need to know the why this gentleman did something this stupid. I need to know why this man made this decision. What made him decide? You don't what I'm going to do today? I'm going to throw this. How did I get involved with the mob?

How did this come about? Like, does the mob just approach you randomly? Like, how does it happen? Speaking of sports betting, I almost hit a really big bet last night on raining buckets, which is the thing they do on Fanduil, where you take each team to score 100 points, and it was plus 900. I missed it by one. By one singular game.

It was one of the last games of the night. The damn Mavericks. scored 92 or I would have won like 900 bucks would have been a nice start to the weekend but alas it didn't happen so screw you Mavericks are you guys trying to screw me now I can wonder I think we should all get involved in a class action lawsuit

and just sue all of the sports books for all of our money we've lost because they're engaged in something that is clearly rigged how do we not believe that it isn't rigged how God I got to know more details I got to know what like how that like that's the meat. of an all, right? Like, I need to know the meat cute. Like, how did Chauncey Billups get involved

with the mob? How did this come about? My guess is Chauncey gets involved with some dude that he doesn't know is with the mob, and then he's involved with the mob himself at that point. And maybe I'm giving him too much credit here, which is also very possible. But who knows? And do we believe that Chauncey had nothing to do with sports betting? It's hard to believe that, because if one guy's going to be involved in this kind of betting, then why not? So anyway, I know I've talked a lot about this today, but I find it just absurdly fascinating. More to come.
