Former NBA referee Tim Donaghy, who was found guilty of betting on games he officiated, recently gave an interview providing an insight into his life in the NBA. Donaghy became a referee following in his father's footsteps and after having two unsatisfactory jobs after college. After starting his officiating career in the minor CBA league, he got onto the NBA's training program, slowly working his way up to become a referee in the major league. He described his early years as challenging, facing harsh criticism from players and coaches. However, he persisted and eventually moved up the ranks, also referring in playoff games. His salary grew from $80,000 a year plus bonuses to $300,000 when he retired. Donaghy goes to detail his gambling and subsequent FBI investigation, which led to his prison sentence. To hear more, check out the full interview above.

If you read between the lines….Tim says he could predict who would win bases on what the refs were told prior to the game by the NBA. IN OTHER WORDS the nba was telling the Refs who should win the game. That’s the NBA fixing games, not Tim.

Quite literally everything that comes out of this man's mouth is an outright blatant lie. He never knew anyone in the mob, the man bet with was his literal best friend not some mafia guy, he was very clearly betting on games throughout his career starting at least in 2003/04 not just during 2007, he was never threatened or even coerced in any way, he attempted many times to get other refs to bet with him and was successful with at least one. These are just some examples, this is all outlined in the FBI reports if anyone would actually bother to read things.

The NBA made an example out of him and now he's telling his side of the story for a profit. Nothing more, nothing less. He threw away a prominent career for pnuts. There's more refs just like him in every sport that you can almost guarantee.

This story was huge when it broke. Go look at the Kings vs Lakers playoff game in 2000 i believe. The calls in that game raised alot of eyebrows and later was proven to be fixxed for Lakers.

The lakers took 27 free throws in the 4th quarter of game 6 of the 2002 western conference finals vs the Kings. 27 free throws in the 4th quarter!!! The kings were up 3-2 in that series and the NBA wanted to prolong the series for more money. Whoever won this series was going to win the championship. The Nets were the eastern conference champs and in was a consensus that they had no chance versus either team. They eventually got swept by the Lakers in the NBA finals.

Another thing is now fans have access to so much data. We can see statistical anomalies and say that's odd and it benefitted the Lakers... that's odd and it benefitted the Celtics etc. A team with the fewest shot attempts in the paint leading the league in free throws for example. A team winning 23% of their games with x official compared to 58% the rest of their games. What about how often series going 6 or 7 games happens compared to past decades.

Tim is a professional and many of these questions would have made the average person angry and blow up, but Tim answers these questions with class and good manners. Credit to Tim for handling the situations in this interview, in the past and in real life with professionalism. Great guy. Best of luck to him. He didn’t do anything worse than what all the other fixers or point shavers did and/or are doing now. He wasn’t a “bad apple.” There were and are a million bad apples shaving points and cheating or worse. Tim just happened to get caught. Idiots that don’t get caught think they aren’t criminals just because they didn’t get caught. They think they’re good citizens and look down on people like Tim and others that got caught when in fact they’re just as guilty but haven’t gotten caught. I have respect for people like Tim who take responsibility for what they did and don’t see it on the chin. I have zero respect for people who do criminal activity but say they are not criminals simply because they didn’t get caught. That’s so stupid and arrogant. That’s like killing someone and saying you’re not a murderer and not a criminal because they didn’t get caught

This interview is a big reason why I don’t watch sports as much or enthusiastically as I use to do. Every league is scripted/fixed to a point. It’s definitely not a conspiracy at this point. So many times we all seen blow ref calls on clearly foul/penalty plays. It’s sad we all spend time money, energy rooting for our teams and behind the scenes. The league has a narrative they want. Not saying it’s completely 100% scripted/fixed. Some team’s definitely disrupt things. But this interview sheds tons of light on all professional sports. Honestly I would luv retired umpires/officials/refs to tell their inside stories. I bet they have plenty to say about league higher ups wanting certain calls or outcomes.

He said all right like wrapping up the video around around an hour 12 minutes, the video should’ve ended there, not just him bashing the poor guy, stating how much he fucked himself. And not only that, but throughout the entire interview, he would just chuckle at random points, where it was very insensitive, or would ask a question made for him to not look the best. No shit he did bad things but you conducted him for an interview for now let him share his story.

Sheed was my favorite player for a long time and I knew he hated this man lol. It's refreshing to hear his viewpoints expressed so plainly and coherently. I felt the same way about his interview with Don Kirk, which was also incredible. The Yummy Sandifer story always shook me, so to see the eloquence, brilliance and emotion of Don Kirk expressing everything he did was honestly the best. I love what Vlad does, man, I say keep going.
