Shams connected to the Inside the NBA studio on the show and talked about more details about Billups, Rozier and others being arrested by the FBI on suspicion of illegal gambling.
Host Barkley said that the NBA messed up all this, because Silver could have called the FBI to see if they really had evidence. And two years is a long time. The NBA has also proven that Rozier is innocent. Barkley asked if this can prove that the NBA messed up all this?
In response to this, Shams responded: "I was told that both Rozier and Beasley handed over their mobile phones to the NBA and FBI. Beasley played for the Pistons last season and is now a free agent. He accepted dual investigations by the FBI and NBA, but he was not arrested this time. One of the targets. Rozier handed over his cell phone in 2023, but the NBA found no useful information. The FBI had no need to share the information they obtained with the NBA. This operation was completely confidential. I don’t know how much information they (FBI) can or has shared with the NBA.”
