Donaghy's autobiography was actually successfully released more than a year ago.
The first title he used was "Blow the Whistle: The NBA's Culture of Fraud."
But the title is too radical, and many of the contents may involve legal disputes.
The publisher had to cancel the publication of the book after being warned by the NBA.
In order to pay off the 200,000 gambling debts he still owed, Donaghy changed the title of the book to "Personal Foul" and deleted some of the content.
After changing a publishing house, I successfully published it, received royalties, and the book sold out quickly after it was put on the shelves.
However, due to legal issues, the book was quickly removed from the US market and can only be seen in electronic form on the Internet.
Although the autobiography published by Donaghy talks a lot about the "shady story" of the NBA, if you look closely, you will find that it is no different from some so-called industry insiders.
To put it bluntly, there are some unknown hidden rules in the industry, and neither referees nor players are as glamorous as they appear on the surface.
These things are tacitly understood by adults, just for fun, and there is no substantive evidence of crimes or violations.
The person who said the real crime was the author Donaghy himself, which greatly reduced the credibility of this book.
The media with interests in the NBA also seized on this point to attack Donaghy, believing that what he did was just an act of a poor man selling his soul for money and life.
"I never trust a person with questionable character, because the seeds of lying have already been planted in his heart... Donaghy's purpose is to drag the NBA down. Therefore, those who choose to believe the words coming from his mouth should Check if there is anything wrong with your thinking..."
An ESPN expert commented on the contents of Donaghy's autobiography, which is undoubtedly a heart-breaking comment.
Because these experts are all pointing to the NBA. If they agree with Donaghy's statement or confirm it, then they have a problem with their thinking and their brains are broken.
Therefore, the NBA black whistle incident did not cause much repercussions in American society.
The credibility of the NBA has not collapsed because of this. Fans and the media just regard it as a talking point after dinner.
And what if the NBA has whistle-balancing and game manipulation?
Everyone tacitly agreed to watch it as WWE.
The players are happy to play, the fans are happy to watch, and the media has news to explode.
It's entertainment. If you take it too seriously, you'll lose. Just watch it as a reality show.
However, there are some things that are not weighed as lightly as a feather, but that are weighed even by a thousand pounds.
Min Congda's NBA-Batman account has been in operation for more than a season.
It can be said to be a mudslide in the NBA media.
The news is fast, accurate and non-biased
It has no position, it is not a commercial account, it does not cooperate with any organization, and no one even knows who is behind the account.
This kind of lone ranger-style personal self-media has gradually won the attention and pursuit of a large number of fans in the American society that is penetrated by capital everywhere.
This time, NBA-Batman also broadcast the entire labor negotiation live, and immediately announced the results on Twitter.
One step ahead of the media, many people suspected that the person behind this account was probably a senior executive of the NBA.
And just as the labor negotiations gradually eased from the deadlock, the players began to loosen their will and wanted to negotiate and gradually enter the next stage.
NBA-Batman's accusation of Stern manipulating the game suddenly made the situation complicated.
On November 18, NBA-Batman followed up with a second tweet.
The content is a deleted part of Donaghy's autobiography, which clearly mentions that David Stern actually supports sports betting.
His so-called crackdown on referee gambling is just to maintain the image of the NBA. In fact, the NBA has been trying to move closer to gambling to find new business growth points.
"Tim Donaghy sent these deleted content to the backend of my account in order to prevent retaliation. After hesitating for a long time, I watched the NBA teetering under the control of this group of deceivers and falling into the trouble of a shutdown. .At this moment, I must stand up and identify the culprit of all injustice, NBA Commissioner David Stern."
Min Congda followed up with a third high-sounding tweet, pushing NBA public opinion to the forefront of American society.
American professional sports have suffered from economic downturn and league suspension in the past two years.
The NFL, the largest league, was also involved in labor disputes this year. It began to suspend operations in April and did not resume games until August.
Not long after the NFL resumed, the NBA began to shut down again, one after another.
NBA-Batman once again complicated the issue by pointing the finger at Stern.
Because of the unique status and huge influence of this account, it was immediately forwarded massively, and a large number of fans participated in the discussion.
The major media outlets are also watching the excitement and don't take the matter too seriously. They don't worry about the team. They will follow up on the reports first and make the matter bigger later.
Anyway, the NBA is on hiatus and there are no games to broadcast recently. Everyone is tired of watching the tug-of-war between labor and management.
There was just something new to stimulate everyone's attention, and related news was overwhelming for a while.
Stern was so angry that he almost had a heart attack.
On the other hand, I had never been able to find a reason to sue NBA-Batman before, but I finally got the chance this time.
The NBA's legal department immediately mobilized and held a press conference to declare that what NBA-Batman said was pure nonsense!
Next, they will use legal means to sue Twitter and the account owners behind NBA-Batman.
"As long as he is on Earth, no matter where he comes from, we will find him and take him to court!"
David Stern solemnly stated at the press conference that he will use the law to seek justice for himself.
Because of this incident, negotiations between labor and management originally scheduled for November 26 were postponed.
Labor executive director Hunter issued a statement, "If the league's top management has been manipulating the game and harming the fairness of the game, then our players will never agree to work and serve these fraudsters!"
In this way, coupled with the fact that Kobe and other stars took the lead in suing the NBA and multiple teams in the Northern California court, the league was in a state of distress for a while.
Even so, the NBA-Batman account continues to update deleted episodes of Donaghy's autobiography every day.
In fact, as early as a year ago, Min Congda had seen the "insider information" sent by unknown people in the background.
I don’t know if it was sent by Donaghy himself, or if someone else pretended to be it.
It's like someone posted a video of James being dunked before.
After this account became famous, people would break the news to him from time to time.
Unknowingly, Min Congda had collected a lot of messy black information.
No matter which society it is, there is always an abundance of this kind of insider information.
It's just that most people don't have a voice, so in the end they can only swallow their anger, knock out their teeth and swallow it in their stomachs.
Once a character like "Batman" appears, many people will choose to give it a try and put these things behind them.
There is a reporter named Cui in China who has a drawer full of such things.
It's just that as an individual, Min Congda couldn't tell whether the content was true or false.
So he can't really "do justice" like Batman.
It can only be said that Stern is unlucky. You are the head of the NBA, so don't sacrifice you to heaven.
Some people died, but not completely...
