If all he can do is name other NBA officials that have played blackjack or craps in a casino, this is a non-story. Sure, the NBA prohibits their officials from visiting casinos, but that is not illegal and is nothing compared to the allegations that Donaghy faces.

FYI -- Donaghy's guilty plea and other information at the Smoking Gun
Also, let's wait for an investigation by the NBA to pan out. This guy may just be naming names to try to take down the ship with him. If these NBA refs really were in any casinos, there's going to be videotape of it.
