Nuggets United Against Gambling Ban

Filed under: Cavaliers, Nets, Nuggets, Wizards

DENVER -- While some NBA teams are seeing concerns about gambling at 30,000 feet, Denver star Chauncey Billups sees camaraderie being built in the supposedly friendly skies.

That is, as long as stakes are kept low.

Reports have surfaced about the Washington Wizards banning gambling from team flights and the New Jersey Nets doing likewise in wake of the gun incident involving Gilbert Arenas and Javaris Crittenton of the Wizards. Reports have stated the situation, which has led to Arenas being suspended indefinitely by the NBA, began due to Arenas allegedly owing Crittenton a $25,000 gambling debt from a team flight.

But FanHouse spoke to four Denver players on Friday, and none saw any reason for teams to ban gambling, primarily card games, as long as it's for small dollars.
