...good guys in the game. But his Pistons were, in fact, very bad. Isiah Thomas manipulated his mates. Bill Laimbeer whined, flopped, and was, rightfully, despised throughout the NBA. Dennis Rodman, though not yet blonde, pierced, and cross-dressing, was a dirty player. Yet Daly knew that if Detroit wanted to win a championship, he had to let the Boys by Boys. He permitted Isaiah to control the ball, because Daly realized that would keep his point guard happy and insanely productive. He knew the Pistons fed off Laimbeer's antics, so go ahead Bill, be an a--hole. Daly...
...playing remixed Kanye West from his laptop, and Eric Dane, the man they call Dr. McSteamy from Grey's Anatomy, was holding court a few feet away.

...Doubting Thomas The Knicks still have more shoot-first guards than Blackwater USA, and it's always fun to guess which ball hog Isiah will overpay next. But here's something you didn't know about the coach/GM/sexual harasser who's lost with such extraordinary consistency despite the league's highest payroll: Isiah wrote a management book! It's called "The Fundamentals." I'd make a joke now, but my head just exploded. By the way, where's the book explaining why the best players - Thomas, Kevin McHale, Larry Bird and Michael Jordan - are the worst executives...
