Reggie Miller Given Warning Via Airplane Banner: Stay Away From Married Women! Especially Ali Kay!

Former Indiana Pacer NBA star Reggie Miller was given a warning.....not in person, but by an anonymous person who hired a plane flying a banner over the So.Cal beaches- "Reggie Miller Stay Away from Married Women!"

It seems as though Miller had the hots for neighbor Ali Kay - who is engaged to designer Diane von Furstenburg's son Alex, and someone wasn't happy about his intentions.  Or it may have been from another disgruntled husband?

Disgraced NBA Ref Tim Donaghy attacked in Prison by inmate with alleged Mob Ties!

Payback is a bitch, especially if payback is from alleged organized crime. Take the case of former NBA ref Tim Donaghy, who admitted fixing some calls in NBA games. Sentenced to prison in November 2007, Donaghy was beaten severely, requiring surgery...and it is said, that attacker told Donaghy that he, the attacker had ties to the mob. Donaghy is being released 4 months early to a halfway house due to the attack.  I would say that Donaghy was lucky so far...since some of those games that were fixed cost gamblers millions of dollars. Not to mention the integrity of the NBA.  Is there a Law & Order episode in the future...??

Sacramento King's Donté Green's Rookie Mistake at Teammate Bobbie Jackson's Revenge

For failing to keep up the tradition of first-year pastries, Sacramento King's Donté Green found his car filled with popcorn. In an interview, Green said he will get revenge.... and he did.....he tossed dog food, soy sauce and condiments on the outside of the Mercedes owned by teammate Bobby Jackson.  It appears Jackson went ballistic about the revenge as the car reeked to high heaven. Revenge is sweet, but revenge of the revenge may be sweeter, but revenge of the revenge of the revenge might get nasty!

Sactown Royalty notes this in their report:

Memorial services for Donté will be held Saturday. In lieu of flowers, please donate paper towels to the Donté Greene Memorial Stupid Rookie Mistakes Foundation, c/o Bobby Jackson, 1 Arco Arena Drive, Sacramento CA
