Now that the first shoe has dropped with Tim Donaghy’s guilty plea today, I’ve started taking in all the reaction. David Stern said nothing of substance in a previously scheduled interview with Dan Patrick on ESPN Radio about 45 minutes ago, except to say, “It’s a sad day for the NBA and for [Donaghy] and his family.”
Michael Lee and Ivan Carter have a pretty good Wizards blog at WashingtonPost.com, and they asked their readers if anyone cares about this Donaghy mess. A few said they did, but the prevailing opinion was that D.C. hoops fans are much more interested in the Wizards’ offseason moves and preseason schedule.
One dude began his comment by saying, “Ivan, it is August, you should be drinking lemonade and otherwise recreating.”
What about you? Are you wringing your hands about this scandal, fearing that all NBA games are fixed? Or are you more interested in how Zach Randolph and Eddy Curry will work together and whether Isiah has a shot at getting Ron Artest or Kobe?

No, I don't really care too much anymore. In the beginning it was huge news to me, now I just want it all to end so we can all go back to talking about basketball.
ol' alan hahn from knicks fix told me you had your own blog, I didn't know.
I do care in the sense that I've felt the league's officiating has been biased since the jordan era. certain "veterans" will get calls that players on young nba teams in the same situation almost certainly will not. so i've been suspicious of the refs and the comissioner behind these refs for a long time.
and I care because I'm glad it reflects poorly on David Stern, because like emperor palpatine, I think he's stayed in control of the league for far too long. Its too coporate now thanks to stern. Sponsorship is natural in professional sports, but the nba is an example of going too far. stern changes the rules of the game annually to cater to certain athletes success or lackthereof (see shaq's response to the rule changes in previous years).
I'd like more of a purist basketball mind to run the league, that would probably win back some of the fans that have stopped following the game either due to corporations spoiling these kids into nba brats or one-on-one isolation plays ruining a team sport (college basketball is also being affected/ruined by stern's policies).
David stern is a corporate laywer. he's no commish of basketball, he's more of a walmart/starbucks ceo type. if it came to stu jackson being asked to step down, to quell the critics because of this scandal, it would be the most George W. thing in the history of the game. And I mean that in a bad way.
btw, if ron artest ever comes to the knicks, you should get some credit for that, because your article on that subject was first imo.
