NEW YORK -- Before somersaulting into some of the specifics and subtitles of Wednesday's draft, Knicks president Isiah Thomas asked if I would be so kind as to accentuate the Detroit Shock's WNBA record comeback Sunday, reducing a 25-point deficit to beat the L.A. Sparks.
"That's what I'm talking about! I want someone who can get out of a hole like that," he exclaimed in narrowing his Knicks' coaching choice down to Bill Laimbeer or Saddam Hussein.
That is, unless Larry Brown proves he's capable of burrowing his way out of the drama he created for himself involving the Pistons and the Cavaliers.
