Barkley on sports betting scandal: It s so stupid that we make more every month than the average person makes in a lifetime

November 3rd: When participating in a program recently, NBA legend Barkley talked about the recent gambling scandal.

Barkley said: "First of all, this all makes me very alarmed, first of all, if you fix the game of poker, especially if the other person is your friend, that is bad. But obviously, when players are actually fixing the score, they can come up with all kinds of ways to bet or fix the game. Listen, if you are fixing the score, that is really bad. We are so lucky, we make 50,000 in a month More money than most people make in a lifetime and all you have to do is play basketball and we're the luckiest people in the world.

"I always say I love sports, but we were so blessed that we made more money doing such a simple thing, and think about it, when most of us got paid twice a month, you made more money than most people would make in a lifetime. I hope none of these accusations are true, but it's really stupid if you do something stupid like this. "
