Part 4/13:
The investigation revealed that certain NBA players, such as Terry Roier (a current player with a $26 million salary), were involved in prop bet scandals and rigged gambling activities. Despite the FBI's findings, the league’s official response was tepid; commissioner Adam Silver publicly expressed concern but defended the league’s investigations as thorough and transparent. Silver explained that in the case of Roier, the league found no violation of NBA rules after investigations, yet later, FBI indictments indicated serious allegations of illegal betting and organized crime links.
