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.

Despite how adamant they were however, Commissioner David Stern made headlines last week loosely stating that he might be open to legalized gambling on NBA games. Setting off a firestorm of speculation from fans across the country and questions continue to fly. This being the case, the largest most successful sportsbook on the web, BetUS.com posted odds on the entire scenario.
