  <body>I know there are a few bball fanatics here. 

Some of you might know that that former NBA ref Tim Donaghy was charged on betting on a couple games. Well, this guy is releasing a book and the NBA is doing everything to block the book from publication.

Here's the link to the excerpts from the book. Very interesting stuffs and insights nonetheless.

      <body>Crazy stuff! It's all pretty realistic and is probably common in all sports. It's just part of the game. </body>

      <body>We all know that stars get preferential treatment, remember "Jordan rules" when they would call a foul on anyone who even looked at him too hard. But lets be honest Donaghy knows he's finished and is trying to grab any cash he can on the way down the toilet [where his career went].</body>

      <body>Sterns the one who stopped the true story from coming out. There's actually a cool novel that's about to be released that's pretty much a blue print for it, called "The Steam". Ironically they're calling it the "book the NBA doesn't want you to read." If anyone's interested you can read up on it, at www.gracemanorpress.com

      <body>Did you guys even read this guy's excerpts and watch the Laker/Kings video. His statements are too exact to be false and I watched those games and wondered what the hell was up. He couldn't fix games all by himself people.
