A Warped POV by A. Dacosta Brathway

March 16th, Friday... Now that thye New York Knicks of the NBA has changed coaches, "Linsanity" may be over and insanity will take its place! Such is the life in New York City. City lights, provocative life styles, traffic, crime, noise, D'Antoni getting fired... (Opps, I mean resigning!) So what happens now? Does Jeremy Lin take Baron Davis' seat on the bench now that Mike Woodson takes the helm? And, how in hell did he get the interim piece ahead of Herb Williams anyway? He just got there after being fired by the Atlanta Hawks! (No, he did not resign!)
If Jeremy's money is guaranteed, I don't feel sorry for him. I wrote before that he should be with another team but who listens to me? (By the way, who IS reading me anyway?) I'm talking "big boys" here! So what if a flowing offense slows down for isolation plays? (Yo, Carmelo... You're up!)Play some damn defense already! This is pro basketball, not rec league basketball! Big money is involved! Fans are paying a "mturd" load of cash to watch the action.If the Knicks are only going to play half the game, can the fans pay half price for the ticket?
I worked for the Knicks back in the day and I was told by an executive, (and I quote...) "If you are looking for warm and fuzzy, this is NOT the place!"
One day the Knicks will get it right again. Red Holzman will come back from the dead... Willis Reed and Walt Frazier will suit up, Phil Jackson will come off the bench and the Knicks will win another NBA championship! (Now that I am finished laughing, I will end it here!)

March 15th, Thursday... It seems as though "March Madness" has not only affected the college community of basketball, it also has a profound affect on the NBA as well! There are two (count them) situations that are looming over the head of the NBA. One of them has been taken care of but the reverberation of it will have a similar result like a tsunami after an earthquake. That situation is the firing/resignation of Mike D'Antoni, the (former) head coach of the New York Knicks. In the wake of "Linsanity" and the return of Carmelo ("Coach Killer") Anthony, D'Antoni's applauded freelance system on offense has dissolved into a mess and the Knicks are as dysfunctional as ever! The Knicks are as Mr. Gecko (character of the movie Wall Street) says they are wrecked because they are "wreckable!" Why does this happen in New York? (Maybe it says something about New York?)
The other situation is the trade/non trade of Dwight Howard, the love able/hate able center of the Orlando Magic. He wants to go... No, wait a minute, he wants to stay... No, he has power over the Magic's decision making... Wait. He wants to relinquish his power back to the Magic! WHAT?
Okay, lets let cooler heads prevail right now. Who is to blame for all of this? Is it something in the air? Is it in the food? No... None of that. The problem is in Charlotte, North Carolina. Michael Jordon is the problem!/ LOL! He created all of this foolishness by being so damn good when he played! If he did not do what he did, all of this crap would not be happening now! (That's all I got!)

December 7th, Wednesday... LeBron James has come out of the closet! No, he is not gay... Never was. He is now tired of playing the "villain" role in the NBA. You see, LeBron was vilified when he left Cleveland and joined the Miami Heat of the NBA. There was this contrived drama... He made people wait for his decision because he became a free agent. He's from Ohio so the owner of the cavaliers and the fan base felt betrayed, blah, blah, blah...
Now he has had time to reflect and he is tired of being in the "villain" role. Here is what bothers me about this BS! Be the professional that you have achieved to be. Stop playing roles and play the game! You have always been a spoiled punk-ass! Maintain the role. You are paid! No one will disrespect you because of it. You will be worshipped by the pathetic masses that have nothing else to do with their time as usual. All you have to do is play the game and keep your mouth shut!
Every time athletes become false profits, they fail in some respect. You cannot have it both ways. be the "superstar in your chosen profession OR heed the call and become a pontificator and procrastinator and call it a day! Your choice. (Message: Professional sports pay better unless you become a pastor of a mega church!)
