Guess that day off isn’t gonna happen. Not in a world where Ron Artest is putting the final touches on his destruction of the Pacers (although Stephen A says the deal ain’t dead yet), we’re praising Kobe Bryant, and LeBron James is wearing white tights. What a nightmare.
A little more interesting than all of that is this morning’s news that Knicks GM Isiah Thomas is being sued for sexual harassment.
It’s not so shocking that Zeke would be a sexual harasser – he’s a man in power in NYC. What is shocking is that he was sexually harrassing a woman. She’s a former Knicks employee (she was fired last week) by the name of Anucha Browne Sanders.
In late 2004, she alleges, Thomas’s hostile behavior changed to making sexual overtures. After one game, she said in her lawsuit, he hugged her tightly and told her he had figured out why they had problems. He said he was “in love” with her and they were “so much alike.” She said that he compared his feelings for her to experiences the characters had in the film “Love and Basketball.”
She said that he once told her: “I know you think I’m inappropriate. But I’m in love with you.”
Last month, she charges, he again tried to kiss her, and when she pulled away, he said, “What, I can’t get any love from you today?”
Wow.
Isiah Thomas has no game to speak of whatsoever, does he? “We’re like the characters in Love and Basketball“? That’s horrible, Zeke! That’s terrible. “I love you. We’re just like Love and Basketball.” Oh my god, there’s just no way to say that where it doesn’t sound completely throw-uppy. “Hey, have you ever seeen Love and Basketball? I’m like Omar Epps and you’re like Sanaa Lathan…why are you looking at me like that…oh, Sanaa Lathan is an actress. She was in Love and Basketball.”
We’ll admit to rolling out movie references in our pursuit of girls now and then, but it’s usually more along the lines of the much more pimpalicious “hey, let’s get wasted and watch Die Hard 2.”

I knew you’d have this story…
Zeke ought to get his headshot done with lasers in the background, then he can join your gang and be cool and get ladies.
It’s not a gang, it’s a club. A COOL Club. For COOL people.
If you need a rival the Brigade is happy to oblige.
We’re more awesome than cool.
It just dawned on me that Con Air would’ve been funnier than Die Hard 2.
Also, do you guys see ads running down the side? I’m apparently the only one on earth who can’t see them.
well you did say only something huge would have you posting today… your wish came true!!
i wonder what Stern thinks about this???
you know he ruined that movie for me, i actually liked it!!
Maybe he should go with “legs”.
word.
That’s what I would go with, but what do I know. And because they don’t sell them at Wal-Mart yet.
