During Detroit Pistons’ media day, Duncan Robinson was asked a question about gambling that drew an awkward silence from the room as everyone ignored the elephant in it.
Robinson was asked if fans ever give him grief over lost prop bets and whether he thinks these types of bets should be banned.
I wasn’t in the room, but watching it online, it sure seemed like an awkward moment that Robinson stumbled through, eventually getting to some sad truths about the state of the NBA and gambling.
Robinson treaded lightly on the subject but did say that “60-70%” of his interactions with fans somehow involved prop bets, whether it is angry people online complaining that he cost them a bet or people in his DM’s thanking him for helping them hit a big one.
