NBA fans are taking turns to mock the hell out of players and coaches after illegal gambling allegations came to light some time back. The FBI conducted investigations for several years together and made several arrests of players and coaches from four different teams. The names of the players have not been exactly released, and fans are having a field day as to who might actually be on the list.
Meanwhile, one particular fan took a shot at LeBron James with a meme of NFL coach Aaron Glenn running gleefully on the sidelines. On the other hand, many other fans called out the players themselves for being too greedy for more money, while others hilariously put different names in the hat as to who they want to see arrested.
“LeBron going to the slammer after they catch him betting on Bronny unders” one fan trolled LeBron James and Bronny with his tweet.

“The ‘sports are rigged’ mfs coming onto twitter this morning seeing terry rozier and Chauncey Billups get locked up (crying emoji x2)” another fan hilariously commented.
“Bron waking up reading this” one more fan took a shot at LeBron James.
NBA Fans Speculate Names Of Players Who Might Have Been Arrested
On another note, NBA fans started making lists of players who might actually have been arrested by the FBI for illegal gambling. Several lesser-performing players’ names made it to the comments section, with several team names also making the cut.
“Always new westbrook was playing against us. This just proves it” one fan called out Russell Westbrook.

“Lakers???Were Gabe & Ayton involved by chance??” another fan asked.
“LEBRON JAMES IS NEXT” a fan added.
The illegal gambling case by NBA players and coaches has been a hot topic ever since it made news. Veteran sports analyst Stephen A. Smith made headlines when he discussed the same and blamed President Trump for the arrests. Smith irked many when he said that the POTUS is out to arrest basketball players and that there will only be more arrests coming along in the near future.
Smith’s remarks were rubbished by FBI director Kash Patel, who said that the investigation has been going on for years and that the President is definitely not out to get NBA players. Patel additionally received plenty of criticism for the recent news about the players, with fans advising the FBI to arrest pedophiles associated with the Epstein files rather than focusing on the NBA.
