Such a classy league. Sure, this will solve the referee problem and clean up the image of the League...

Stern, this is just plain tacky. Give it up.

Just do it!

Forget trying to get the money back. Give some inmate $100 worth of cigarettes and a few candy bars to shank his little weasel ****.

this cheat Donaghy is gonna think the league has been renamed in the hole

NBA (national battery of @rse-bashings)

hes gonna get his and stern will probably get off on it to - sick little prick

Whoever edited this rumor needs to go back to 3rd grade.

Jesus....how do you people even get jobs? I am surprised these are not written in crayon.

Basically the thought here is: You screw us, we ****.

The real dumb thing is why doesn't the league just let this GO
the more headlines.....good or bad..... is HEADLINES and a reminder as to the awful mess they have....
DUMB....especially for stern, who is brilliant

I wonder if Donaghy, Pete Rose, Sir Charles Barkley and Michael Jordan frequent the same betting facilities ???

Donaghy, remember Stern "made you do it..."?? Take him down with you. And one step further, I'd bet Stern would have the audacity to represent himself in court

donaghy is giving 25-1 odds they won't get a dime from him!

I'm not understanding. In my country, some cheating good. President lie, we go to war. Nobody care. We like war. Weighlifter take horse pill, head grow size of elephant sack. We don't care. We like win Olympics. But referee cheat so team lose, we care very much. We create large mob outside and then chop nose off whole family, so children say 'momma, why man have no nose?' And she say 'that what happen to man who smell badly.' You see. Chop nose off family, and this problem go away faster than you can say porky pig.

I've been waiting for a reaction to this from the league and this is what they come up with. Stern is such an ****, an this doesn't convince that the league didn't know about it.

What does this really accomplish? They are not asking for the shoes back because they are worn out and used. Isnt the shoes part of the referee atire, so really the nba should not be asking for reimbursement.

Send the A.B after him so he can be a B-i-t-ch.They will take care of him!!

the league should also sue David Stern to be re-imbursed of his slary, since he's done a sh** job of being commisioner

One of the reasons that conspiracy theories continue unabated is because of dumb actions like this on the part of the NBA.

On the heels of an NBA finals featuring two legendary teams, and getting great ratings, this is just plain WEAK. Stern is merely trying to intimidate others. Whether Stern likes it or not there seems to have been a bigger problem than one ref. This is an absolutely childish way of trying to solve the problem. Just plain petty. Making themselves look bad.

Stern isn't going to win this in the Federal court or the court of public opinion. Whether you like Donaghey or not, he did work and the NBA owes him the money. Who's to say what Donaghey is saying about other ref isn't true. I find it hard to believe he was the only one involved, because one ref can't determine the outcome of a game.

If he was calling bogus fouls or not calling legitimate fouls, wouldn't the other two refs see that.

Adding FUEL to the fire. This is doing nothing but adding more negative attention to the NBA. I don't take up for Donaghy. He did a criminal act and should be punished. One thing that seems rather obvious though is that he did not act alone. The rigging of the 2002 playoffs which he described while using a lie detector should send red flags up everywhere. Where there is smoke there usually is fire. I see PLENTY of smoke.
