Excerpts from Donaghy's book: Must read for NBA fans

Excerpts From The Book The NBA Doesn't Want You To Read - Tim Donaghy - Deadspin

Sorry if this is a repost but it's one of the most interesting reads regarding the NBA in a while. Donaghy might be a despicable human being but I find it difficult to believe that all of this is a lie.

I believe every single story that was said in that article

It makes total sense

David Stern can burn in hell for ruining the NBA

Is anyone else having trouble accessing the page? I would be willing to post all the excerpts from the website but they are really long.

I became so good at this game that if an obvious foul was committed right in front of me, I would call a travel or a three-second violation instead. Those violations are not personal fouls, so I was still in the running to win the bet. The players would look at me with disbelief on their faces as if to say, "What the hell was that?"

I see this shit all the time. And not just at the beginning of the game.


I want this book!!!!!!!

Some of those most of us knew already like the make-up calls, star treatment and the Kings-Lakers game being rigged.

The stuff about Bavetta was interesting and also Javie's a grudge with Iverson. The "joke" bets between refs is just ridiculous.

I'm surprised the Heat-Mavs finals weren't mentioned. Definitely something fishy about that.
