Ladies and gentlemen, if you are not paying attention to the continuing comedy that is Isiah Thomas: New York Knicks GM.
“Isiah just brought Stevie Franchise to the Knicks. Has Isiah reached the point where we can’t make fun of him anymore because it is too easy? I think he has joined “Brokeback Mountain,” two-man luge, Tori Spelling, Dr. Scholl’s Gellin’ commercials, and Tom Cruise in an elitely pathetic group. Should there be a hall of fame for such people?”
“There is no logical explanation for what he is doing. Is Stern just sitting in his office laughing his head off every time he sees a Knicks trade, or is he somehow involved with Isiah in a plot to destroy the game of basketball in New York City? MC Hammer, even in his prime, was more fiscally conservative than Isiah, yet he is currently unemployed. I demand a reality show involving Robert Downey Jr, Tom Sizemore, Kate Moss, and Gary Busey, among others, just to prove that no matter how many drugs you consume, you are still capable of outperforming Isiah as a GM.”
“Is it possible that what Isiah Thomas is doing to the Knicks right now is really some kind of sick revenge that goes back to his playing days with the Pistons?”
I haven’t watched an NBA basketball game in three or four years. About my only exposure to NBA basketball is from reading the Sports Guy’s column. But even I know that putting Steve Francis and Stephon Marbury in the same backcourt is asking for trouble of the most spectacular kind. I mean, Isiah was a point guard, presumably he knows that basketball is played with just one ball at a time.
Seriously, he may be the worst GM in any professional sport of all time. This is like the Michael Jordan era, except it’s off the court and represents the perfect Yin to the Yang of excellence. Don’t miss it!
PS – how great would it be if that last guy’s theory was correct!
