    Did you guys catch the new Sports Illustrated (the one with Blue Devils championship win on the cover *shiver*), it does an article on Isiah titled: "Music to their Ears", and it just BUTCHERED Isiah! Saying things like how he said he would make the league "the Microsoft of basketball", and then drove it into bankruptcy. People saying that Isiah "is a man with a gigantic ego", and "if you weren't a yes-man, he didn't want to hear it." They talk about how Isiah tacked on more expenses to the league, expenses the league couldn't handle. It's good reading, and interesting. I had respect for Isiah, but if this is true, and it looks like it is, he drove THOUSANDS of people out of jobs, and reduced the number of places that basketball players who don't make the NBA can go in a matter of months. Some of the teams are still alive in the IBL, hopefully that will stay afloat. Check it out.

    yup. Isiah sucks. Can't coach either. Be wary of people who smile too much.
