TIM DONAGHY AND THE NBA SCANDAL – A LOOK INTO THE NEW NETFLIX DOCUMENTARY

During the Summer of 2007, news about an NBA fix-up broke up. News media, sports
fans and everyone involved in the NBA were equally shaken. The FBI got involved
and opened an investigation, but what no one knew was they had actually opened
up a can of worms. The suspect? A referee. The accusation? Fixing his own game.

Tim Donaghy, the NBA referee was at the center of it all. The referee-gone-rouge
is said to have been fixing games for 11 long years, becoming a primary suspect
of both the NBA

and the FBI. During the investigation, it was found that Tim was involved in
match settings, that too of his own games. The investigation ultimately led to
his arrest wherein he spent 15 months in the FBI prison But it wasn’t going to
be as simple as one name. The documentary will take you on the trip from the
small-time bookies of the city to the mobsters of New York.
