Default 13 NBA refs involved in Gambling

Tonight Channel 7 - Boston new had a breaking news story that 13 NBA
refs were involved in the Gambling ring.

Looks like Donaghy's was not the only greedy fool.

This is a major blow to the NBA.

I cannot find any links, but it was on the news tonight as a breaking
news story.

Source: Gambler claims 13 referees involved in NBA betting scandal
7News sports director Joe Amorosino is reporting the following:

BOSTON -- A source tells 7Sports that the gambler at the center of the 2008 NBA betting scandal says 13 referees were involved.

Jimmy "The Sheep" Battista pleaded guilty to conspiracy to transmit wagering information in connection with disgraced NBA official Tim Donaghy and served 15 months in federal prison.

Has as much to do with politics as the global warming and economics threads that are constantly popping up here

Then again considering the original poster your questioning of the legitimacy of it being here is no surprise

Well at least channel 7 had the integrity to add this

The source says Battista is making these claims as he works to finalize a tell-all book deal.
to the bottom of the story. I'm going to need corroboration before I see these accusations as more than a ploy to sell books.

America has to hit Rock Bottom before it "comes back"

There is no hope for Boxing.

Look at the people we now have running Congress.

Watch what happens in NYC when the Terrorist Supporters hit town for the big trial (Bush will be on trial also)

If anyone watched the 2002 Lakers vs. Kings game 6 western conference finals game 6, you will know that the NBA and its officials rigged that game.
