--------
Former NBA referee Tim Donaghy discussed allegations of his misconduct during Phoenix Suns games and the subsequent modifications to NBA regulations. Donaghy noted that although team members questioned whether he intentionally influenced game results, both the FBI and NBA confirmed in their separate investigations that he hadn't redirected any outcomes. The controversy prompted revisions to the NBA referee guidelines in 2007. The new rules lifted some gambling restrictions and increased training sessions for referees. Despite these changes, Donaghy raised doubts about their actual implementation, noting he did not see substantial changes. He shared his personal experience with the justice system, revealing he did not have to pay his $250,000 bond and was released the same day he pled guilty. He touched on the agonizing wait for his sentencing, where he was even prepared for trial against Batista.
You cant help but think that many other referees are guilty of the same thing and still doing it to this day.
Especially in the NFL

@@DeeBrownLTDthe saints got ROBBED!!!
@@Mrjonezzz still haunts me 😞
Didnt they jus get rid of a guy for fixing games for the celtics
His memory is razor sharp...except when it come to how he came up with that bond money??? 🤣
Haha
Bro said he didn’t. Have to pay anything 😂
They give u a personal bond in federal court..I’ve been there
@@MiguelSorentoFacts. Depending on the severity of the case, the Feds sometimes issue Whats called a signature bond
Exactly. You'd think you would remember if you had to pay bond.
The NBA only hates him because he got caught and was sloppy along the way.😂
It’s pretty crazy how much credibility Donaghy has but the league can just sweep this under the rug and go on with business as usual. The NBA is a complete joke!
I hate that this guy was the only one to be ruined by the scandal. It should’ve been more refs ….
Facts
Beyond refs too, I feel like. Yeah refs got inside information, but it’s NBA people who have even more
How about David Stern?
I hate that this guy helped sabotage Allen Iverson. He would have been even greater had they called his plays fairly.
He seems to be doing well for himself
I believe him..David Stern was highly crooked and paid the refs to fix alot of NBA games
David Stern is the greatest NBA commissioner ever. Reigned in the best era of the NBA. Unlike todays NBA run by a weak Adam Silver.
How do you know that?
@@trueempire8948he was crooked.
@@s.tavares3257Rather Sterns antics than Silvers gimmicks
Of course!!! This guy isn’t lying. All this shit is 100% truth
Crooked refs still couldn't stop Detroit from winning the 2004 championship 😎
He only served 11 months so the judge did NOT throw the book at him...
lol that’s crazy i thought he did serious time
Thank yoy.
I think we all knew the Kings and Lakers series was fixed. It was the most obvious fix I've probably ever seen.
I didn't watch the NBA for much of the '00s, because of that series. That whole entire '00s era was blah to me... and now when I look back at these cheating refs, I can see why.
No DOUBT
Portland too.
Definitely. Shaq only fouled out of one game all year and that was game 5 in Sacramento. Kings had more free throws. Kobe got hacked last play of the game. Lakers got robbed game 5
The blazers vs lakers
I believe it wasn’t just him!!!..there’s others that played a role in it to!!!
Oh most definitely. Whats crazy is that he didn’t even ref that Kings lakers series
@@MaxPotentialGreatness …that’s show how rigg the nba is!!!
its every ref. nba is rigged from A-Z

Like most folks who born around my time (1981) I loved the NBA in the 90’s and was a huge MJ fan. I literally stopped watching the NBA after the Lakers/Kings game 6 fiasco. It was so damn blatant that the whole league was completely corrupt which started right there at the top with David Stern and the owners. This guy deserved everything that he got but to be the only person that went down is absolute madness. Talk about a scapegoat and fall guy.
100% facts. I surprised the Kings players don’t speak out on that more
it was bad but not that blatant....nobody at the time made that big a deal about it cause the Lakers still did crazy things to win on the shot the buzzer by Horry
I stopped watching after game 5 of that series, when Webber set that illegal screen on Fisher and cost the Lakers game 5. I'm with you.
I agree with you 💯 percent
But it started with mj cause of the money he was generating nobody wants to talk about that
he speaks so well of the deceased David Stern, lmao 🤣
🤷♂️😂 Who cares.. He's maggot food.
Scum is Scum, dead or alive.
The NBA is no different than the WWE.
Idk bro, basketball requires skill. The outcome can be influenced but it's nothing like WWE.
Completely missed his point, he's talking about the corruption behind the scenes@@thehumannugakareemsupreme9484
I remember David Stern getting defensive after Jim Rome asked him if the 2012 was rigged. It was. The NBA had just sold the Hornets. The Hornets coincidentally got first pick in the draft. It was a backdoor deal between Stern and the new owner.
He clapped back quick on David stern. 😂 he don’t liked being called a RAT either.
Kings should of won 2002 nba championship
Facts and imma Lakers fan. Just like the Pistons should of beat the Spurs in the finals a few seasons later. That series had low ratings so no one remembers how bad they did Detroit lol
you should go back and watch the game and count the amount of free throws the king's missed and in what universe is it ok to blame that on the refs
@@stopbullshitin that was game 7, it shouldn't have even been a game 7.
The kings sucked
@@rigobryant8050Spurs whooped the pistons fair and square. Stop it😂😂😂 Spurs didn't get superstar treatment like the fakers.
He cost the C Webb and the kings 2-3 rings smh. But maybe we would’ve never got the Kobe 3 peat 😢
Who cost Webber 2-3 rings?
2 to 3 rings stay off of the drugs my guy what years are you talking about because the 02 kings we're the only chance outside of 03 when webber got hurt
@@terencejones4057 I was wondering who cost Webber those rings to begin with?
@swissbeats2k Yeah the kings won like 60+ games that following yr in 02-03 when webber blew out his knee it was essentially over window closed
The interview is getting better and better lol
Kings, Suns and Mavericks (2006) should've gotten a championship
2002 Kings were wronged
What’s crazy is in a recent podcast episode Evan Turner confirmed that the NBA will fix games for business/entertainment purposes. Basically said they fixed the Sixers vs Celtics series because a Boston vs Miami Finals “made more sense”.
He even said he'd prefer to watch heat Celtics over his own team
How can their be a Boston and Miami finals they’re in the same conference
@@SWHunte401 conference final
What years were this, from my recollection I don't think 2010-2015 Boston Celtics needed external help to beat the Sixers at the time 😂😂
Facts! Him and Iggy broke it down in the simplest of terms.
There are so many questionable calls even today with all the video replay and slow-mo capabilities. Makes you wonder if all this is still happening today.
are you serious? why would it NOT be going on today? i don't get it ...
I was in my early 20's when the Sac La Series that Tim is talking about. I KNEW the Refs were Fixing that series!! Anyone with a brain knew. I have said since I was a kid I knew the NBA was just like the WWF/WWE, controlled by the Refs.
he's absolutely right rules should be enforced as written.
Tims book PERSONAL FOUL is a MUST READ
This brings back memories of one player's "Knick Bavetta" comment. Mark Jackson's name keeps coming to mind as the player who said this (even though he played for the Knicks during his career), but I believe the actual player was Jason Kidd.
Tim Hardaway said it.
I thought only drill rappers dissed the dead lol
I don't think its wrong to go after the dead, its just a cop out to keep people from calling them out for who they really were
Tim seems like a honest guy after he was caught. I know he has said the NBA wanted game 7s and they do push to get to game 7.
Cavs v Warriors is proof of that
@@bnegs521nah Draymond was getting away with alot of bullshit. He deserved to get suspended a game
@@jayborough9185 Lebron didn't start that in game 4? SUUUURE. And what about game 6 they fouled Steph out of the game!! How many other playoff games has Steph ever fouled out of? That's what I thought
I love how open he is.
exactly what happened with the lakers vs warriors last yr... the way the refs try to turn a series or extend it is by giving one team much more ft attempts simple now we know (if we didn't already) what's really going on when we see strange things happening
At least David had control in the NBA. Adam is nothing but a figurehead. You got players assualting their partners, brandishing guns, handling murder weapons. Basketball used to be the sport that "forced" your son to behave if they wanted to thrive. Now we have to teach our boys tennis and golf to keep them from scandalous behaviour.
Carmelo said David Stern was the feds lmao
It's that same fake tough guy attitude that got him in trouble in the first place. ✌🏾✌🏾
From the FBI reports he didn’t throw any games after hours of investigating. The rules came from higher on certain calls they made or didn’t make to benefit certain players and for businesses to make money. He definitely wasn’t the only ref but the NBA is a very big business and he was the fall guy. NBA has a lot of power enough power to shut down the investigation. They made him the fall guy and moved on.
Nba doing their own investigation is CRAZY
We did a internal investigation and we found no wrong doings were done by us lol
If you watch his documentary you would see that not just the NBA but the Feds couldn’t allow the world to see that the NBA games are fixed by the league. How much money would be lost not only to the NBA but to the cities and states they play in if the WORLD knew the NBA was no different than WWE.
I don’t know of any profession where EVERY employee gamble’s! Tf is that about?
Unfortunately I believe him on the NBA. That's damn shame!!!
This man dissing the dead LOL should’ve been a Drill rapper 💀
Not many people got good things to talk about David Stern
Fines are the new gambling. Especially Nfl two hand touch league
So we learn the truth.. games can be fixed to assure that certain teams win.. wow!!!
I have no idea why the idea of tampering in sports is illogical. If anything it’s the most logical outcome when considering human nature and the criminal element
Laker fans not liking these interviews 😂😂😂
Tim is calling out names 😂
He’s just the only one who got “caught” they need a fall guy .. this guy is basically the Epstein of NBA😂 he knows too much anyway
100% would love to know which refs were also gambling like dick bavetta or john crawford
Damn, savage mode on david huh?🤔💀
Now with all the gambling that's going on in sports, and how easy it is that you can just do it on your phone... I don't trust any of these zebras in any league!
2008 NBA finals with the Celtics versus the Lakers was definitely fixed that was obvious
He's telling us how the Nba is rigging stuff, just gotta listen!
Hahahha damn he got on David Stern
It sounds to me like this guy STILL hasn't accepted responsibility for his actions. Dude, YOU compromised yourself. Everything bad that came as a result of YOUR gambling exploits is on YOU, Sir. This guy is sitting up here still trying to throw others underneath the bus. Jeez!
Fe real. This snip came up in my feed and I'm the opposite of interested in watching multiple hours of him crying about it to see if he even halfass comes close to acting grown and owning that shit Js
are you a Lebron jocksniffer or what? they guy confessed to everything, the only thing he's sour about is that they made it out like he's the only one guilty, when the whole NBA is rigged. it still is in 2024
Tim Donaghy taking a proverbial piss on David Stern’s grave (1942-2020). 😆sheesh. But I understand why he feels that way, he feels like Stern tried to discredit him in the public, Stern being deceased doesn’t change the resentment that Donaghy has had to live with since then.
But there are other notorious refs like John Crawford. Tim can’t be the only one.
Joey Crawford
The Sacramento kings should be champions 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
Damn he went in on David Stern. Isn't David dead? Lol he probably rolling in his grave
😂😂😂😂 isnt he dead. ?
I still believe he fixed that playoff game between the lakers and the kings
Tim did not even referee that series YOU DOPE.
@@bnegs521 I’m talking bout David stern not him
@@KingBrahma-xw6mt ok
Interesting.
He got off easy, bet if he was black would have been a different story.
Made up scenarios are such nonsense. "Oh i bet if he was the kings son it'd be different" doesn't mean a fuckin thing without a time machine. We live in reality, he's white, you never know what will happenes regardless of what turn the story takes.
As a Kings fan this pisses me tf off hearing this again
Even goin back to when the scandal broke my biggest question was, “How Come The Boss Wasn’t Held Accountable ?!? Like all in all , how is one man to blame when you literally found through investigation that this was a League Issue , not just a Ref Issue. Stern To me , has always avoided scrutiny and negative backlash for thee longest with his slick business mind and being highly educated. The man ran a Monopoly, With Laundering , The Fixing of games by favoring certain players n teams . Like it is a shame David Stern Passed away bein pretty much thee dirtiest Ceo/Commissioner, of a publicly traded league of athletics !
David Stern and Lil Wayne single ruined the urban clothing market.
I'm actually glad Stern is gone. He made the game so lame and not fun. Lol, black and white shoes only, suits need to be worn entering stadium, no tweeting 2 hours before and after games.
Why would you care about what the players wear, especially while theyre on the bench the whole time & how would that even affect the actual game ?
Your right but if it wasn’t for stern quarter backing the plays in the beginning the nba wouldn’t be the game we love today
The NBA was better under Stern than it is under Silver.
@@prlysis Aside from the lame ass in season tournaments and dumb ass captain picks for All-Star, how?
@@fuckyourfresh I don't care.. But the fact that Stern issued fines left and right for improper colorway or street clothing did affect players' attitudes. Look no further than MJ and his black and red shoes. Chicago paid those fines because MJ claimed they made him play better.
In case you didn't know Batista is the WWE wrestler and the attorney McMahon is Vince's cousin.
Stern was on bullshit fr lmao
Shaq went all year without fouling out in the regular season & playoffs but all of a sudden game 5 in Sacramento they called offensive fouls while he was getting hacked. Only game he fouled out. Lakers got screwed
Your mom shoulda put them drugs down when she was pregnant with you 😂😂😂😂
When ? In 2002 when Kobe ( rest in peace) stroke bibby in the nose with that elbow in game 6 ? Get the fuck out lakers schould even been in game 7 ! For that shit alone he schould been 5 years in the can...
@@DM3FROM916 your mom should have taught you how to use google
@@fresneljoseph9025 he didn’t even ref that game 😂 & the Lakers should have won game 5…But you right. Lakers got all the calls game 6. Just like kings got all the calls game 5. He’s telling you that they were told to prolong series. Game 7 the game was fair in Sacramento. Kings just choked. You idiots aren’t Listening to what donaghy is saying.
Never mind all i am try to say is before he even got busted i knew that their where something wrong going on and that the shame because until this day i didn t saw a playoff series like this one and i think it schould been call by the Best you can get and not by bunch of cheater ! But i respect your opinion as well !
F David stern . I will never forgive him for that trade he vetoed from my lakers
man i definitely believe these guys were munipulating games. them refs making 500 to 600k a game nigga i'd want it to go 7 games too. it's too much money involved in sports to not believe there's corruption in sports
Man’s waits until stern is dead and gone to talk slick like this what a coward
A year in a camp for all the money they probably made ain’t that bad.
Damn😢 this how I felt when I found out wrestling was fake🙄🤦🏾♂️😡😡😡😡
Not a fan of stern at all, but he did the right thing for the sake of the league. As a fan I wish everything was able to come out.
Dick Bavetta was a point shaver NO DOUBT
How can you bet on a game your reffing and not call it your way to win Man lying lol
I hate the audio on these interviews where you can clearly tell it’s being done over zoom. The pauses are awkward. Vlad “I have 20 employees” TV can’t do airfare?
You lucky you didn't get more time
Laker vs Pistons 05 Finals 100 more shooting fouls then the other team the series only went 5 games ridiculous stat
😂😂😂White beef
Tim looks like a mob boss you don’t want to mess with.
The difference between the nba and pro wresting………..nothing
Lol damn long live stern gang 🤣😩
So Ed T Rush Hugh Hollins Jack O’Donnell Jess Kersey etc did absolutely nothing while they officiated the biggest games just this guy 😂😂😂 if the walls could talk
well he named a couple of big names so ... we KNOW others do it as well
I used to respect the NBA growing up in the 90's. Now everything about the NBA, putting the big money aside, is a joke.
A liar calling someone else a liar. How ironic
he was at the malice at the palace, he witnessed that insanity first hand
Shout out to Jack McMahon!! A.K.A The body snatcher Rumors has it $100,000 Guaranteed you a win on a homicide. Best lawyer in Philadelphia ever! Vlad that would be a great interview
I wonder what would have happened with these were a bunch of black refs?
I was a huge Kobe fan back in the late 90s, early 2000s and even I could see that WCF in 2002 was fixed. I remember after LA won, everybody was screaming at me about it and all I could do was 🤷🏾♂️. 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Stern was a trash commissioner. Glad he’s getting exposed.
Trash? Far from it
I knew the nba was fixed after the lakers kings series and how they cheated on live tv and tried to convince the people that was a fair series 🤦🏾♂️ at that point I stoped being so invested in sports and it’s sad bc they ruined the game so many of us love
To the company who protected Jordan thru his first "retirement". They definitely protected others in this scandal
He should have no opinion on anything... Sports are sacred... From race relations standpoint it was the closest thing we had to fairness..I could go deeper but whatever...Refs should be jailed... Pete rose deserves to be in the hof
I used to call the Lakers the Mafia the way they owned the refs back in the day.
So who are the real champions?
This is why I stopped betting on games!
get rid of all refs let the robots ref from now on
The guaranteed game 7.
As somebody who has studiedly and researched this for years, he’s right the biggest prick in all this is stern. He lied and covered it and then Recruited people from the fbi to help control the narrative. Tim did wrong but he wasn’t the only one . As u can see the game today teams are scoring over 150 points regularly, the games are still heavily manipulated and there’s no accountability, gambling has now made it ten times worse
