Must read NBA book

Remember the NBA referee "Tim Donaghy"? The one that was punished for "gambling" on games. Well his book Blowing the whistle has been out for a while but some excerpts where published here and it's a must read to see how Kobe Bryant and Allen Iverson are really treated in the world of NBA. Shocking? Yes. Unbelievable? N. I've seen NBA games where so many calls are going towards one team that you think you are watching the WWE, where the outcome is already predetermined and the game is obviously rigged.

Bye Bye Iverson

And just like that, Allen Iverson's career in a Grizzly uniform is over. Well, at least Memphis sold some Iverson jerseys and made money off of the ticket sales. There's so much Iverson bashing going on and writers are analyzing what's wrong with him but all I'll say is this, If you think that it's an insult to come off the bench, even though you can help the team, you should continue selling your name branded shirts and arm bands because 29 teams didn't want you before and now 30 NBA teams don't want to do anything with you. (Unless of course, if you are a basketball organization in NYC, you would sign a disgruntled player to a multi-year contract and then try to get rid of them or wish that LBJ will come and save the day for you).
