Hours after the FBI arrested Terry Rozier and Chauncey Billups, and published a pair of indictments detailing the former's alleged involvement in a cooked prop-bet unders scheme and the latter's alleged involvement in a rigged mafia poker game, the sports-watching public turned to sports media to help make sense of the story.
On Thursday, the feds sent shockwaves through the NBA when they announced dozens of arrests, including Portland Trail Blazers head coach Chauncey Billups and Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier. The arrests stem from two big cases. One involves an illegal poker game backed by the mafia, and the other centers on the use of non-public information to wager on NBA prop bets. Officials said the investigation had been going on for years.
