I'll Be Right Beside You Dear

Well, if the people ask for it, I will give the people what they need.

After Isiah announced the Penny Hardaway and Trevor Ariza for Stevie Franchise gem, the faithful readers of the Sports Guy wrote in expressing their exasperation. I'm going to tell you already, some of these people care about basketball wayyyyyy too much, but some of them are very funny.

I think my favorite email comes from the reader in Dallas who suggests that there be "a reality show involving Robert Downey, Jr., Tom Sizemore, Kate Moss, and Gary Busey, among others, just to prove that no matter how many drugs you consume, you are probably still going to be a better NBA GM than Isiah Thomas. In no other industry are you allowed to fail beyond comprehension so many times (CBA, Raptors, Pacers, Knicks....and counting) and still be employed nonetheless, in a position of authority."

Let's just say that if I made a deal as SA President to trade Sing Song and Freshman Follies as major ACU events in exchange for showcase concerts by superstars such as Diamond Rio and Barbara Mandrell, I would not top the trail of mishaps that is the post-playing career of Isiah Thomas.

Today, the SG himself weighed in on the madness with one of his most creative and bizarre columns yet. Bill, in the 1 in a million chance that you actually read this blog, I want you to know that if you are killed by Isiah for writing this column, before his murder trial he will find some way to trade away Alan Dershowitz and Kenneth Starr as his defense lawyers for a guy who just graduated from the West Greenbow, Alabama Night School of Law and insist that he was making "a good deal on a rising prospect."

The NBA. It's fannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnntastic!!!!!
