Mikki Mase: Nothing Will Happen to Chauncey Billups & Terry Rozier in NBA Betting Scandal (Part 6)
In a recent interview, journalist Mikki Mase weighed in on the ongoing NBA betting scandal implicating figures like Chauncey Billups and Terry Rozier. Mase predicts minimal consequences for those involved, suggesting heavy penalties or prison time would cause widespread upheaval in the NBA and the lucrative sports betting industry. “If someone goes to prison, it would confirm the NBA and sports betting are rigged,” she said, underlining the enormous economic stakes. Although several teams including the Charlotte Hornets and Toronto Raptors are named in indictments, Mase believes the scandal will fade from headlines after minor fines and penalties are issued. Regarding Billups, who was recently removed from his coaching role, Mase speculated he’ll quietly exit the scene without criminal charges. She also highlighted greed as a driving force behind cheating, citing parallels in poker and casino industries where insiders admit to manipulation despite already profitable systems. Overall, Mase expects the scandal to be downplayed to protect major interests.
