    :laugh3: I wish. At least until these guys show up: :policeman:

    I'm interested in knowing how they got caught. Usually it's the guys in Vegas that pick up on heavy suspicious betting action and start investigating. The CNNSI story I read earlier says the Vegas folks had no clue.

    This is gonna hurt the NBA and sports betting in general.

    People not only gave him shit for complaining, he's been fined hundreds of thousands of dollars just for criticizing the refs. You know he of all people is going back to see which games he was involved with. Cuban should sue the league.

    It never really occured to me until now, but David Stern is a dreadful public speaker.

    I thought that this was interesting too, on why the NBA would not have gotten him off the court as soon as they suspected something:

    What does this do to the NBA's credibiity? On one hand, I understand that it's pretty difficult to go against the feds, but on the other, there is a very real possibility that they influenced who won their championship.

    apparently Stern wasnt aware of it until June 20. if it is an isolated incident the NBA's credibility shouldn't change much. If they find out it is a league wide problem, they are done. IMO this is only going to hurt the people who actually like/watch the NBA.

    I heard on Fox Sports radio that on average when this guy refs a game the total points scored was 13 points higher than the league average. Hmmm

    eh... that thing starts off good, but then tries to make every questionable call into a conspiracy. the way late whistle from out of position was incredibly lame. everything else was pretty average calls that are made or missed all the time.
