The Knicks Lose! Fire Isiah!!

I headed to Madison Square Garden on Wednesday to watch the Knicks and Pacers with my cameraman by my side. My #1 goal was to start a "Fire Isiah" chant. Unfortunately, the Knicks were winning most of the game... until they choked. We actually had somebody from MSG tell us to put our signs away as we were leaving. Dolan is a fucking tyrant.

Most of the "action" while we were at the game is in the YouTube video below. We couldn't muster a real "Fire Isiah" chant, but we enjoyed the game -- not quite as much as Jerome James. Leave it up to General Manager Isiah to screw Coach Isiah by signing such a lazy bastard.

A few quick facts on Jerome James:
  • Didn't play organized basketball until college
  • Nickname is "Big Snacks"
  • Signed a 6 year $30 million contract OR about $75,000 per game
  • Averages 9.8 fouls per 48 minutes of play
  • Averaged 3.1 points and 2.0 rebounds per game in his first year with the Knicks
The most hilarious aspect of Jerome James is that he yucks it up with EVERY player during stops in play before returning to the end of the bench (he sits beyond the players in STREET CLOTHES). The worst part is that we saw him giving "tips" to Eddy Curry. That's the beginning of the end for another lazy, fat big man in the NBA. Don't listen to him Eddy!
