really well known about the gambling issues Jordan and Barkley have so you would think Lawson would stay away from that because it could hurt his draft stock.

The kid won $250 winning craps not out molesting a child. NBA players spend more than that on the way to the casino or on one hand of blackjack or porker. If that would hurt his draft status, then a lot of players would not be in pro sports.

I have a friend that works in a casino and he says that a lot of their high roller clients are pro athletes. I think he will be OK with $250 from an adult that is 21.

Honestly, who cares what an adult does. Next thing we will have people advocating that he cannot drink alcohol.

Leave it alone. It's perfectly legal and he's not hurting anyone. This is just asking for trouble if the NCAA steps in.

Wow, you'd think that NBA players, with all their money, could get some good-looking women.

I'm sorry but that's just stupid.

The key word in your post is "Legaly". If its legal leave it alone... It has zero affect on the games. Why pick boogers? If he is betting on games another story... but cards, craps, slots.. Who cares. Why do we have to legislate everything?

As far as the WCC hosting their tourney in Vegas... as long as they are not betting on games the NCAA won't care and should not.

Maybe he should have bought some scratch and win lottery tickets instead.
