The law is weird all around... the NBA originally supported it. It was sponsored by NJ Senator/former NBA player Bill Bradley. It gave NJ a 1-year window to legalize sports gambling and be grandfathered in... which they declined to do at the time. The NBA now supports it. Trump supported repealing it while campaigning but the solicitor general opposed it at the supreme court...
