Following the breaking news of Malik Beasley’s federal indictment over a sports betting scheme, Omar pulls back the curtain on how the NBA went from David Stern’s zero-tolerance policy to Adam Silver’s wide-open door. We look at the growing list of names caught in the crosshairs—from Jontay Porter and Brendan Soresby to under-investigation figures like Chauncey Billups—and ask: How did we get here?
