The Knicks
The only hope I had was the NBA Draft. After all, the Knicks and Isiah Thomas had a very good draft last year. Then it happened. "With the 20th pick, the New York Knicks select Renaldo Balkman...." were the words that spewed from that Yid-sellout Commissioner David Stern.
FUCK!
My brother tried to jog my memory as who exactly this guy was. "He's the crappy guy on South Carolina. Don't you remember, the shitty guy with the hair? I can't believe he was picked." I still didn't remember. I kinda do now, but I wish I didn't.
I can come up with 3 positives for the Knicks out of this draft. At least Balkman (maybe Isiah Thomas thought he was Ronaldo Blackmon, honest mistake) plays hard. The Knicks second 1st round pick was Mardy Collins from Temple, all accounts say he's a solid player. And this draft brings Isiah Thomas that much closer to getting fired. As for being an NBA executive, Thomas was a great player.
The Rest of the Draft
Portland made 6 trades on draft day. It seemed like teams picked players and traded them for no reason except that maybe they were lonely, so they kept calling other general managers. For the most part, I have no idea what most teams were trying to accomplish. Numerous teams had the strategy of acquiring 8 of the same type of player. It didn't make any sense.
The 1st pick Andrea Bargnani from Italy will be better than Darko, but never close to the Dirk comparisons he's been getting. Adam Morrison went to Charlotte at #3, he'll be an ok pro. He was able to force his way to the basket against WCC competition, but that won't happen in the NBA. He's being over-hyped.
Tyrus Thomas could be the next Amare Stoudemire or more like Stromile Swift or Chris Wilcox. Why on earth did Atlanta pick Sheldon Williams? He won't anchor their defense at all. Marcus Fizer anyone? No no, he'll be better, not much though.
Randy Foye is the best player in the draft. Going to the T-Wolves will help him tremendously and his new club. I like Brandon Roy too, but how good will he be in Portland? Rudy Gay will be good too, but will he be great? It's up to him.
Overall, far too many underclassmen left early yet again and they will pay the price with their shitty lives. And yet again, players that stayed in college for 4 years fell in the draft, but there will be a few that will have great careers and there might even be a star.
George Mason
I was hoping that Lamar Butler, Tony Skinn, or Jai Lewis would've been drafted. Oh well, not every dream comes true (especially when you're a Jew [like me, not them]). But GMU still had a great day. Five UCONN players were drafted, 4 in the 1st round. We beat them in the Elite 8. Michigan State had 3 players drafted, we beat them in the 1st round. UNC will have more players drafted in the next couple of years, but even they had one. We beat them too. Our legend is secure.
