After all of this has unfolded, will you be able to watch and follow the NBA without being skeptical that similar scandals are occuring? Did you lose any respect for the league? Has the scandal affected your interest in the NBA?

Nope. Tim Donaghy ruined Tim Donaghy's career. Didn't do a damned thing to me. NBA had a problem, they fixed it, end of problem.

THe NBA was ruined for me when former Phoenix Suns GM Jerry Collangelo and his group of associates along with David Stern changed the rules so that it would fit fastbreak teams to increase view ratings
Ever since then i've been sick and tired of basketball
its disgusting
average players are made to look at like superstars
guys who can dunk and flash are the big thing now and they stopped playing honest fundamental team basketball...NBA reaks big time now and its corrupt from top to bottom starting with the commish David Stern fixing games and making refs give favorable treatment to superstars like wade and lebron so that they can win games...Donaghy is just a product of that...i bet there are more crooks in the ref dept of the NBA

No, since I haven't had any interest in the NBA since Jordon left.
Lots of new good guys there now though. I think the league will survive the scandal, but it will hurt them for a while. One man can cause a lot of doubt in the minds of those watching the games, not to mention the players themselves.

Doesn't ruin it for me. I never did like Tim Donaghy anyway. He was one of those refs who make the game about them. I hate refs like that. But I'm not naieve enough to think he was the only ref doing it. Hell naw he wasnt and I'll be glad when they catch the other SOB's

not really. im still going to watch and attend games. of course whenever you see a horrible call that changes the entire game, you get suspicious, but i really think that he is the only guy that was fixing games, so i still respect the league. and i will always like the nba no matter what.

No, I still have interest but I'm PISSED about the Suns/Spurs game. To know that the suns could have won that game is sickening. I would throw my used tampon at Tim Donaghy if I ran into him.

Not really. It's not really that big of a deal that can make you hate the NBA. I still love this game!

No. I will not let one idiot ruin it for me.
This is just an isolated incident.
