From former referee Tim Donaghy, topic of much discussion on "Mike and Mike" this morning.
David Stern dismisses it as just the rantings of a convicted felon.
A lot of people have questioned the officiating in a series between Sacramento and LA in 2002 at that time and this is one of the
alleged fixes he is refering to.
Apparently the allegations were in a govt. report but not released to the public, Donaghy decided to go public when the NBA
tried to get $1 million in damages relating to his conviction and this is payback from him.
An interesting point made this morning is that he has a lot to lose by getting more jail time if he is lying about it.
Most likely a "spygate" type investigation is going to take place over this.
