Knicks Drama Bomb

I would just like to know what Isiah Thomas has to do in order to get fired? Is being the worst executive in modern sports history (there may be a worse executive way back in olden days, so I'm qualifying the label by adding that "modern sports history" tag) not enough?

What about being found liable for sexual harassment and costing his employer $11 million?

Not enough, you say? What about assembling the worst group of horribly-matched, grossly-overpaid talent since the movie "Showgirls"?

This seems like a good time to ask: what exactly are IN those pictures that Zeke has of Knicks owner James Dolan?

To quote Ricky Roma (played by Al Pacino) in 'Glengarry Glen Ross': "You know your business, I know mine. Your business is being an a**hole. I find out whose f***ing cousin you are, I'm going to go to him and figure out a way to have your a**."

That's how Knicks fans have to feel about Isiah - they want to know whose cousin he is, that he continues to keep his job.

Then of course, this week there has been all the drama between him and Stephon Marbury. Isiah goes out of his way to bring Starbury to New York, and he repays the guy by threatening to roll on him if Zeke leaves him out of the starting lineup against the Suns?!

You know what I have to say to that?













Now, even though Starbury says that he "had permission" to bail on the team in Phoenix (and what coach out there *doesn't* give permission for his players to take their own flights back home in the middle of a road trip?), the Knicks fined him $195,000. Considering that Dude will earn $40 million for the next two seasons, I'm going out on a limb to say the two hundred dimes probably doesn't mean much to him.
Today, word came that Steph is going to apologize to the team for being a distraction, and he made like a bakery truck and hauled buns across the country to rejoin the team in L.A. for a game against the Clips (but was NOT in the starting lineup).

Uh-0h... What's that I hear, up in the sky... it's a bird, it's a plane...


Zeke, it's seven games into the season. How could everything have gone off the tracks THIS fast? Please enjoy your next gig coaching the Cleveland Rockers of the WNBA.

I don't think anyone will be sad when you destroy that league like you did the CBA.
