I don’t understand NBA players. If they’re based in NYC, all they have to do is call any casino in Atlantic City or Connecticut and tell them they want to gamble. They’d at least send a private car, and depending on the name and credit limit they might charter a chopper. 
 

They’d play a honest game at a closely regulated casino. Nope. They’d rather play at Uncle Tony’s card game conveniently located in the attic of a deli in Greenwich Village. 
 

I guess the old adage is true. Ball players want to be gangsters. And gangsters want to ball players. I’d assume they wanted to be around wise guys. 

I would imagine that mobbed up guys will be happier to extend credit to ballplayers out over their skis with gambling debts. Which is likely how these guy got roped into insider shit to begin with.
