Description

In the years since the Supreme Court legalized sports betting across the nation, professional athletes have been in a lot of trouble.


Last month, Pistons legend Chauncey Billups was arrested in a wide-ranging federal investigation into illegal sports betting and rigged poker game schemes. His potential role in a plot with ties to the Mafia raised many eyebrows, including those of longtime sports journalist Jemele Hill.


Hill, a Detroit native and someone who has been covering professional sports for years, joins the show to share her thoughts on how betting is changing sports and how the allegations against Billups impact his legacy.
