While Shawn Marion makes his Heat debut on national TV against the Lakers, we’ll be concentrating on something else.
This may surprise you, but we’re calling NYC this afternoon to have an over-the-phone lunch with Stephon Marbury.
You see, he’s had like all these surgeries on his ankle (or maybe just one surgery), is out for […]

Yeah, you’re probably expecting some rehashed quote about how Zeke says the Knicks can win it all sometime, and he expects to be a part of that achievement.
No, says we - this is about Chad Ford’s ESPN chat, wherein he actually explains why Isiah says such things.
Check this out:
Chad Ford: There’s a psychological phenomenon […]

One would think that the Knicks becoming an even bigger disaster than ever would be exciting, but it’s so clearly (by many accounts) about to end for Isiah Thomas, you can’t help but fell a little letdown setting in.
The internal fighting and feuding and distraught is becoming so constant, bizarre, and even expected…we dunno.
Does […]

Well, surely by now you’ve read about Stephon Marblebury leaving the Knicks.
If you haven’t, here’s the deal - Stephon Marblebury left […]

(This post is quite random, as it was written part last night and part this morning.)
Welcome to YAYsports! MLB - we love this Indians team.
In fact, we love it even more than having Optimus Prime call our mom over 30 times in 2 hours lasterday. Have you ever had your mom call you and […]

(Like most people, we’re somewhat astounded that Isiah Thomas still has a job.
On the other side of that equation/scenario, we’re pretty thankful for Isiah Thomas still having a job.)
We watched that new show Pushing Daisies last night on ABC, because everyone said we would like it, because it’s quirky and feel-good and all that […]

Well, it’s now official - the jury has ruled that Isiah Thomas and Madison Square Garden are guilty of sexual harassment against that lady.
This like just came down, so nobody has said anything yet, but we’re pretty sure we know what Zeke is gonna say. It’ll be something about how he was raised poor […]

While wondering how Isiah Thomas won’t get fired for being found (just about) guilty of sexual harrasment*, we find ourselves drawn elsewhere in the NBA.
Namely, Laker training camp, where Kobe teased the media, but eventually showed up to stand alongside his teammates.
This would, of course, include the ever-creepy cake-smashing virgin, Kwame Brown. Yes, the […]

For us, today’s NBA focus is not on the pending preseason, but inside of various American courtrooms, where the Knicks and Sonics are tackling issues related to sexual harassment and rootin-tootin, relocating ownership groups.
We’ve covered Isiah and the Knicks situation not nearly enough, but a quick read of ESPN’s Chris Sheridan will get you up […]

At some point during the Isiah Thomas sexual harassment trial, they’re going to have the beginning of the NBA preseason.
Will it be as exciting and revealing as the trial? Doubtful.
Will it include the participation of the Knicks Head Coach himself?
Honestly, that’s starting to look shaky - already there is speculation that David […]
