So, yeah, there’s that. Even as people make compelling defenses of Isiah’s likability, we still can’t help but shake our heads at the continued incompetence. Not that it’s not always incredible to watch.
But seriously: One year is all it’s gonna take. We can’t wait.
By the way, we find it amazing that Isiah didn’t find a spot for Syracuse’s undrafted Gerry McNamara. Must have been the damned college newspaper reporters who got him.

Forgive us a tiny bit of indulgence here, but our ultimate takeaway from the NBA Draft last evening was not the million Portland trades, Isiah Thomas’ fumbling, Dan Patrick and David Stern’s pissing contest or even the insane convergence of Michael Jordan and a guy who cries with two second left in an NCAA tournament game and with your team still having the ball.

The raucousness of the crowds at the NBA and NFL Drafts in New York are somewhat legend, and last night, from many accounts, nobody was hit harder than ESPN’s resident screamer Stephen A. Smith. And now it’s all captured on video. Stephen A. is hit repeatedly in this video, for his Cheese Doodles, his bowel movements and the IMPORTANCE OF EVERYTHING HE HAS TO SAY.
This is seven minutes of brutality, a man being heckled mercilessly during an otherwise quiet second round of the NBA Draft. This is what happens when you are a TV person.

Earlier today we introduced you (and several NBA GMs, no doubt) to Knicks’ No. 1 draft pick Renaldo Balkman. We’d like to formerly thank Isiah Thomas for making this selection, as it makes our job here so much easier than if he, say, picked someone logical. Knicks’ fans, however, are not quite as happy. In fact, have you ever seen a Grizzly bear after a seagull has stolen its salmon? Yeah, like that. Let’s take a look:
• “And with the 20th pick in the 2006 NBA Draft, the New York Knickerbockers select Renaldo Balkman, SF out of South Carolina. Projected as a late second rounder, possibly even undrafted, but Zeke spent the #20 on him. Darius Miles isn’t even that good! And we got the POOR MAN’S Darius Miles? At least his name kinda sounds like that of a former Knick (Rolando Blackmon). Ok, just shoot me and get it over with.” [Father Knickerbocker]
• “It only gets stranger for the Knicks. They drafted pedestrian point Mardy Collins out of Temple at #29 which isn’t bad on it’s own but is completely bizarre since, if you wanted a point guard, guys like Marcus Williams, Kyle Lowry, Rajon Rondo, and Jordan Farmar, were available when the Knicks took Renaldo Balkman at #20 instead.” [HoopsJunkie]
• “Say it with me now … who’s Renaldo Balkman?” [TrueHoop]
• “As long time readers of the blog know, I LOVE Balkman and think he will be a good NBA player. But picking him at 20 is ridiculous. Balkman, when not playing Humpty Hump’s body double, seemed to have a little bit of support from Spike Lee who kept insisting he was a “sleeper”, but I dont even know if Spike believed it. You know that no one believes in you when the considerate Jay Bilas continually makes fun of you. Long live the Humpty Hump!!!!” [KentuckySportsRadio]
• “So my beloved but troubled Knicks choose Renaldo Balkman in tonight’s NBA Draft. Wait … didn’t we already have that guy ten years ago?” [Sugar, Mr. Poon?]
