renaldo balkman!

holy fucking jesus!
that's all i'm going to say. below is a picture from espn.com's page 2:






and here's an excerpt from a lupica article:


Here is second-rate blues singer Jimmy Dolan's idea of facing the music: He sits with Steve Mills and Isiah Thomas and one of his PR people and takes questions only from the seven Knicks beat reporters. Then he goes on his own network with Thomas, suddenly turned into a hood ornament yesterday, and is interviewed by one of his very own announcers, Al Trautwig.

And the whole time you watch this, at least the part you were allowed to watch, on Dolan's pathetic version of state television, something else he is running into the ground, you are thinking one thing: Dolan thinks his own fans are as dumb about basketball as he is. Maybe that is why he treats them with such contempt.

"(I hope) the fans understand the moves that get made," Dolan says to Trautwig, apparently under the impression that even though the fans don't have a prayer of understanding the moves Thomas has made already, they're suddenly going to crack The Isiah Code now.

This is after Dolan says on his own television network that Larry Brown "begged" Dolan and Thomas to bring Stevie Francis to the Knicks.

Dolan says this with a straight face. To Trautwig's credit, he managed to listen with a straight face, even though he should have been leaning forward enough to fall out of his chair and saying something along these lines:

"Mr. Dolan, do you actually believe anybody with an IQ above room temperature believes that?"
