    How bad is it, that this is actually the third-weirdest Sexual Harassment development in the last 18 months for the Knickerbockers?

    1) Isiah saying that he can call an employee a B!tch b/c he's black and she's black. If he was white it wouldn't be the same. http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/b...isiah_explains_double_standard_on_slurs_.html
    2) When questioned about the Isiah sexual harassment case, the Marbury "Truck Sex" development came out. http://www.nypost.com/seven/09122007/news/regionalnews/isiahs_a_bitch_to_work_for__ex.htm
    3) Eddy Curry wanted a dude to look at his meat and potatoes. :dunno:

    What I don't understand is why anybody would think we would actually trade for him in the first place. He is like a bad version of Zbo. Overweight. Doesn't have a motor on 3 out of 4 games. Rebounds poorly for a big guy. Not a good shot blocker. What exactly appeals to you about him besides not being named "Channing Frye" or "Ike Diogu"?

    Eddy Curry was served by a sexual harassment suit this week and many people are coming to his defense, including teammate Malik Rose.

    “I know for a fact Eddy’s not gay," said Rose.

    “This is absolutely false," said Curry to reporters on Tuesday. "It’s incredible. I can’t even believe it.

    "He had approached my friends and me a while back trying to get money and stuff like that," Curry said. "I just never thought – especially with the past that me and him had – I never thought that it would go past where it did, which is idle threats; ‘I want some money or else’ kind of stuff.

    "I guess it’s just like a prime example of you just gotta watch who you have around you," he continued. "This is a guy who, I really thought was my friend up until the last four or five months. I can’t even believe this has happened.”

    Frank Isola of the New York Daily News had this to say in his blog on Tuesday:

    'I don't claim to have any idea as to what goes on in Curry's personal life. But I can tell you this from being around him for four years, Eddy is a bright person with a big heart. I've never seen him get angry - which is a problem on the basketball court - nor have I ever heard him use the type of racist language that was included in the lawsuit.

    'The best I can tell this is just some creep who was leeching off of an NBA player and when Eddy decided he needed to cut down his expenses and fired the driver, his former "friend" decided to extort more money. What a guy!'

    Yeah. It just sounds like some guy trying to get money... doesn't stop it from being a hilarious story though.

    Of course you would. You've certainly earned that reputation as the best fluffer in the NBA.

    Is that what Mike Rice meant when he talked about that "giant plate of spaghetti" HCP was working on in Chi-town?

    Also the New York Post published this, so it's going to sound worse than it is. And their credibility is as good as Drink Your Milkshake.
