Just in the Knick of time
September 24, 2007If Isiah Thomas isn't an O.J. Simpson fan by now, then he certainly should be.
Frankly, if he's still with the New York Knicks as their coach by the time the season starts, Simpson is who he has to thank.
O.J.'s recent shenanigans take up so much of our lurid fascination with the bizarre that no one's looking too closely at Thomas' plight in regard to Anucha Browne Sanders' $10 million sexual harassment lawsuit filed against the New York Knicks.
Her allegations center primarily on Thomas' actions toward her, which allegedly include sexual slurs, racial slurs and unwanted physical contact.
It's a PC (politically-correct) kind of world, but everyone knows that -- including Thomas.
Let's just say for a second that Browne Sanders made the whole thing up as a way to obtain compensation after her firing from her post as Knicks' vice president of marketing and business operations in 2005.
Since the Knicks are ones with the deep pockets here, then why focus on Thomas or anything he supposedly did? Unless something indeed happened, there would be no reason to.
Law & Order has its trademark "twist" every week -- a detail or angle to the story you may have missed the first time that changes the whole outcome of a case.
For Isiah's sake, there better be a twist here too or he'll be more than just a sub-par coach.
He'll be an unemployed sub-par coach.
