Problems at the top

I guess we know what the reality of the "top of the NBA pyramid" is; it's ugly.

A perfect example of why business's shouldn't be allowed to treat people that way.

Oh please. Larry was going behind the teams back trying to set up trades, he purposely tanked to try and get rid of Isaiah so he could have the GM job(he benched a entire group of players after a winning streak for no other reason but to lose), he publically ran down players like saying that David Lee would never be a starter in the NBA because he just isn't that good, and that Nate robinson would never be a PG because he didn't have the talent. That is not crap you say in the press about your team.

Any sympathy that he tries to get is BS.

Larry Brown's act was tired and I truly have no respect for him. Having said that, it is hard to be sympathetic to anyone in the Knicks mess except maybe some of the ticket holders.

I don't feel sorry for Larry Brown. But there is no doubt in my mind that NYK is a disaster and all of that is true. Isiah is just as much of a jerk as Brown was. However, that team is great for entertainment purposes.

Look at Larry Brown's career. Look at Isiah Thomas' career. Look at Dolan's career. Who seems the most credible to you?

Lets see. Dolan is a naive guy that will believe anything Isaiah tells him. Isaiah is a bit delusional and thinks he is doing a good job and will be stubborn as a mule.

Larry Brown is a proven liar that will abandon ship on any team as soon as he possibly can, but not before he runs down the players in the media so that if anything bad happens, its not his fault, its his crappy players fault.

The Knicks situation is a complete mess. Dolan and Isaiah aren't the brightest lightbulbs out there. But they still have more credibility than Larry Brown.

Larry Brown is a jerk off who has won an NBA title and been successful virtually everywhere he's been. Isiah and Dolan are jerk offs who have done nothing but fail with NYK (and Isiah has failed everywhere he's been since his playing days). I put more credibility in the jerk off that was a winner.
