Gambler Claims 13 Refs Involved in NBA Betting Scandal

I've been trying to tell you guys...this kind of stuff is no secret in east coast gambling circles. NBA refs are dirty, and have been for many years.
 
This past week Donaghy implied that Michael Jordan's retirement was really a "banishment" stemming from his own gambling problems.

I'm sure someone's brought that up before. Interesting stuff.

Yeah, of course it has. The first retirement has long been rumored to have been a secret gambling suspension. Tons of people have talked about that.

It's the reason his father was gunned down.
 
This topic makes me think back to that Kings/Lakers playoff series some years ago

Even before all this betting stuff came to light, I always thought what they did to the Kings smelled

I always heard that, but I wrote it off as urban legend.
 
Yeah, I mean who knows, but we had a pretty famous Chicago journalist from that time come talk to one of my classes. He may or may not have written a book about Jordan ;)

As everyone was leaving I kind of pulled him to the side and asked about it and he wouldn't say 100% but that it was more true than false.

A lot of the evidence kind of works out. I'll never say 100% but it seems very logical. The NBA wrapped up a investigation into wagering a mere 3 days after Jordan retired. There were people that came out talking about Jordan betting and losing money with checks to prove it.

Yep......Stern's trying to wave a dismissive hand at Donaghy, but they did that to Canseco too.....we see how that turned out
 
I'm hoping to see this blow up in Sterns face. Even as a Laker fan. I can see that there is a big difference in calls being made.

The only league that talks about "big market" teams needing to be in the finals for ratings. It's no coincidence that only 7 teams have won the NBA Championship in the past 30 years.

Did you read Donaghy's book?

There's a chapter dedicated to that series. Not pretty.

NBA = WWE

It is very difficult to watch the sport knowing that most of what you see is basically scripted before the opening tip.
