NBA Hall of Famer Carmelo Anthony is no fan of sports betting. In an interview with CNBC, he spoke out about the pressure gambling puts on players and called for reforms to be made.
"Athletes may say, ‘Hey, we don't care about parlays,' but they care about it, because it affects them mentally," Anthony said. "They don't want to come to a game and be worrying about their own fans cheering them or booing them because they didn't make the parlay… [Sports betting] changes the narrative of the game."
