"“I am honored to have the opportunity to lead the New York Liberty and help the franchise reclaim its position as one of the elite teams in the WNBA.“"

This coming from the new President of the New York Liberty, this coming from a man who was found guilty of sexual harassment… This coming from the new leader of New York’s professional women basketball team… HOW CAN THIS MAN BE ANYWHERE NEAR MSG AGAIN…after the embarrassment that was his reign as President of Basketball Operations of the New York Knicks and the lawsuits that he brought to Madison Square Garden.

O Yea…. this guy….

The guy that is the epitome of trust fund baby…son of Charles Dolan founder of Cablevision and HBO. In truth I am jealous of this guy…I wish I could have a nice shiny toy like the Knicks and Rangers… I wish I could pursue my passion for music and form a band…naming it after himself of course (egomaniac much?)… JD & The Straight Shot (this is real…people that attend this must be employees and brown-nosers right?). I wish I could just hire my unqualified buddies for positions in a public company…

All that is not enough though…nope… No, no… this man needs to spit in everyone’s face… this man needs to hire his buddy that has been found guilty of sexual harassment to run his little toy that is New York’s woman professional basketball team, the Liberties. Which is ironic because those woman in the locker room will probably feel like prisoners under the watch of Isiah Thomas.

How can anyone respect and play for a man who just ignores sexual harassment case… Dolan in a statement released by MSG on Tuesday basically just shrugged the guilty verdict off… who cares if you have to pay $11.6 million just to be pals with a basketball legend.

"“We did not believe the allegations then, and we don’t believe them now,”“We feel strongly that Isiah Thomas was held responsible for sordid allegations that were completely unrelated to him, and for which MSG bore responsibility. In fact, when given the opportunity, the jury did not find Isiah liable for punitive damages, confirming he did not act maliciously or in bad faith. We believe Isiah belongs in basketball, and are grateful that he has committed his considerable talent to help the Liberty succeed.”"

If there really is karma and basketball gods the New York Knicks just lost major points on getting the number one overall pick in the draft. Which this nonsense happening…there is no way the basketball gods will give us the top pick now… Phil Jackson was brought to New York to bring back credibility, in one transaction…that is gone now… New York will and always will be a loser organization that will never accomplish anything with the head of the snake a buffoon…
