Not that the nba should cater to the gambling community but if they’re gonna full throatedly promote gambling, that’s super super shady.

Unlike the NBA, the NFL doesn't have guaranteed long-term contracts for the players to the same extent and the refs make basically nothing. There are also far bigger wagers being made on NFL game outcomes/player stats than anything going on with the NBA.
It's really not much of a leap at all.
