What if the Knicks had never hired Isiah Thomas?

“This could have been its own bizarro “Where Amazing Happens” commercial called “Where Isiah Happens.”

isiahWhere Phoenix dumps the Stephon Marbury and Penny Hardaway contracts on someone and remakes its team into a contender happens.

Where Chicago dumps Eddy Curry for two lottery picks and copious amounts of cap space happens.

Where Toronto finds some dummy to take Jalen Rose’s contract and aid its rebuilding process happens.

Where San Antonio dumps Malik Rose’s contract for a center who helps them win the title happens.

Where the 2008 Blazers become the most likable young team in the league because they found a taker for Zach Randolph happens.

Where a Truck Party happens.

Where a humiliating $11 million sexual harassment settlement happens.

Where an NBA frontcourt that includes two C-cups happens.

Where a 60-year tradition of professional basketball goes down the tubes happens.

Where Isiah Happens.”
