Notorious NBA referee Tim Donaghy was put through the wringer given his involvement with an illegal NBA game fixing scenario to which he readily admits he was a part. David Stern and the NBA responded to the allegations with a full fledged investigation aimed at painting Donaghy as a desperate liar.
