Re: Tim Donaghy Gambling Syndicate
thanks for posting, I saw a promo for the article on ESPN this morning and was excited to read it...but totally forgot about it until I signed into this board and saw this thread lol. thanks for the reminder
horrible and shameful story. cant imagine being a player effected or a part of a team that was on the bubble and fell victim to him. im sure those guys cant help but have a lot of "what ifs" and "if onlys..."
its not so bad now, but for a while between Donaghy and the Crawfords, the NBA could have stood for "No Betting Allowed" or "Never Bet Always"

Re: Tim Donaghy Gambling Syndicate
I personally always thought Donaghy threw NBA games he officiated and that the NBA swept it under the rug. I’m glad ESPN dived in and investigated for two years and found out all the info. Which is surprising because ESPN/ABC has TV rights to NBA so I am shocked they published this. Maybe there really is still credible journalism out there!!
Re: Tim Donaghy Gambling Syndicate
Of course David Stern and theNBa wanted it to
Go away. If testimony got out that games were that easily rigged then all credibility in the league would be lost and it would be a massive scandal and vulnerability to the NBA

Interesting how they haven’t really been able to connect the dots very much to the philadelhphia Crime family or to more organized crime than a Gambino profit center...

Re: Tim Donaghy Gambling Syndicate

Re: Tim Donaghy Gambling Syndicate
Actually I watched some of the YouTube videos including a interview of Donaghy and he does say the philly mob came to his hotel room to talk to him and made a threat then left. Also the guys who were pulling the strings didn’t cooperate so I think we will never know the full story.Cheech wrote: ↑Thu Sep 19, 2019 10:04 amthey wrote 2 books and numerous articles. believe me if philly mob were involved someone would have reported it. mob = fixed games = interest. i just dont think there was any connection.Mason_dixon wrote: ↑Wed Sep 18, 2019 4:15 pmThe amount of money potentially at stake/involved.Cheech wrote: ↑Wed Sep 18, 2019 12:20 pmyou find it hard to believe, why?Mason_dixon wrote: ↑Wed Sep 18, 2019 12:13 pmMaybe nothing I just find that hard to believe.Cheech wrote: ↑Wed Sep 18, 2019 12:09 pmwhats there to connect?Mason_dixon wrote: ↑Wed Sep 18, 2019 11:52 am Interesting how they haven’t really been able to connect the dots very much to the philadelhphia Crime family or to more organized crime than a Gambino profit center...
