		<description>sankofa says 


&quot;they don’t talk about a racist owner who wanted to sell but refused to sell the team to a N***er, yet decided sell the team to a teachers Union? WTF!&quot;


Well said my brotha I talked about this before. I am glad some folks haven&#039;t forgotten that.

Vick, OJ and zeke man these Good old boys in the media probably had an orgasm over the last year. AI and Kobe ya&#039;ll brohas better watch your back.

Just a question for everyone. Since the bigots in the media swer he has destroyed a grat franchise. 

Who over the last 20 had a greater winning tradition the bulls or the knicks.

Which team over the last 20 years do you think of as a winning organization the bulls or the knicks. 

Now which which team hasn&#039;t lived up to its winning tradition over the last 10 season.  

Now think about how many losing seasons the bulls have had since 98????

Now what team won 6 rings in 8 years.

So zeke has brought down the knicks. What ever the knicks ain&#039;t done sh*&amp; in 30 + years.

Sh^% I say Krause, Paxson and Reinsdorf have destroyed a once great franchise. A organization that was the most successful in the 90s.

OH I forgot they don&#039;t have black skin so we can&#039;t call them out.</description>

		<description>Cosellout in the book of Isaiah laid chronicled his journey from day one to this year. Based on that thorough analysis, I believe he doesn’t get proper due from correcting that mess left by Scot Leyden. Scot... fucking layden, who tried jack of all people Patrick Eweng.

How much of the on court performance this year is him and how much was the players? I&#039;ve always had a problem with these modern players, who are too willing to through every body under the bus (Stephan Marbury) but refuse to put the time in to worthy of calling themselves a professional athlete. I think when Dolan ORDERED Isaiah to the bench; he was punishing him and using him as a convenient scapegoat if the experiment failed. The roster wasn&#039;t flawed as much as the individuals where flawed, which caused chemistry problem.

I think Isaiah gave up coaching round about game 10-15, but what could he do. He couldn&#039;t hire a coach, he couldn&#039;t resign, his ego told him that he could do it, but this is a players league, so you are often as good as the effort your players put out.

Even members of the Miami Heat and the Grizzles where putting out some effort!

Lastly, I will refrain from talking about the sexual Harassment suite...No I won&#039;t!

When the presiding Judge expressed doubts about the merits of the case and whether it will go too far, that should have been a red flag. Yet when her lawyers, aided by the racist press lied that Isaiah said it was all right to call African women bitches, when they lied about him being a racist, when his life reflected differently, makes me realize that Isaiah is the most hated African man in sports. When they lie about Isaiah messing up the Raptors organization, they don&#039;t talk about a racist owner who wanted to sell but refused to sell the team to a N***er, yet decided sell the team to a teachers Union? WTF!

Like I said MODI detailed a lot of good shit around Isaiah, even his failings as a coach, but the White Supremist media will use the last three years to tarnish a 20 + year reputation in basketball stock filled with lies, lies and more lies... and hate!</description>

		<description>It was only a matter of time. If he had more executive discipline he probably could have done something with the team, plus if he hired a good coach instead of trying to coach himself.

I feel sorry for him, sort of, but he made his bed, now he has to lie in it.</description>
