You think you’re pretty much immune to anything related to incompetence shocking you when it comes to the New York Knicks these days, but then stories like this really make you scratch your head:
“When Isiah Thomas dispatched Jamal Crawford to find out how the players would react if and when Marbury rejoined the team, all of them voted against allowing him to play. Thomas, according to one person who spoke with Crawford, had pledged to hold out Marbury if even a single Knick didn’t want him on the court.
So how did Thomas react to the team’s unanimous vote?
He sat Marbury until late in the first quarter then played him nearly 34 of the game’s remaining 39 minutes.”
While Isiah claimed later that he was just giving the team the best shot to win, you can’t help but wonder if it had more to do with Starbury’s smirking threats of late to go public with assorted juicy details and “bury” Isiah and the Knicks if he doesn’t get the playing time he wants. While we realize the futility in trying to make anything related to the Knicks make sense, that’s pretty much the only thing that makes even quasi-sense, as far as an explanation for Isiah’s decision to so quickly cave in, overruling the entire team’s vote of no confidence in Starbury.
Which makes us wonder just what the hell dirt Starbury actually has on Isiah, that’s worse than the dirty laundry already aired? Pretty much the only thing that might sully Isiah’s sterling reputation at this point would have to involve sex with animals, consorting with minors, or secret Nazi rituals in the bowels of Madison Square Garden at the stroke of midnight.
So come on Starbury, spill the beans…
