Has any of you heard about Malik Beasley's federal investigation in a case about his possible involvement in rigging games and possibly betting on his own game as well? For those who are not familiar with him, he is an NBA player who supposed to have a good contract for the next season with the Detroit Pistons. He is not the first player in the NBA to do this though. There were several who got banned already and I think some of them had a jail time.
This is a prime example of how gambling could ruin any career if greed takes over and self discipline is mismanaged. The Detroit Pistons was reportedly ready to offer Beasley a three-year, $42 million contract and he blew it, possibly permanently if his proven guilty of this accusation.
There have been a lot of cases already about a person who got greedy in gambling and eventually got broke. So, this right here serves another lesson that we need to control ourselves when we engage into gambling.
I cannot imagine how this could happen to someone like him, how everything could end because of his own stupidity.
It is very unfortunate, considering that he had a promising NBA career and a bright future ahead of him, but he ruined it all just for money, sacrificing everything he had built through hard work.
His reputation, career, and perfect life will be lost if he is proven guilty. Did he not consider the risks he was facing before doing this?
