Great article by Bill Simmons.

I thought it especially poignant that the response to the initial story of a nameless referee fixing games was "which one?"... Not "Are you serious?" or "No Way!"
The NBA is the most poorly officiated professional sport of all the biggies. Horribly inconsistent, star treatment, now this to top it all off. And this guy worked the infamous game 3 of the Suns-Spurs series in the playoffs this year, in which Amare Stoudamire played all of 21 minutes due to some really questionable early foul calls against him.
