The Isiah, Stephon Chronicles, Chapter 1 …
… and hopefully the only one.
In a mounting he-said, she-said ballyhoo we only find in the township of New York, unconfirmed reports have Isiah Thomas calling Stephon Marbury’s bluff — telling the overpaid, over-hyped, over-the-hill point guard to get the hell out. Some 28 hours later, following what must have been a legendary Maui Wowie binge
, the 30-year-old Georgia Tech star worked his panties out of his nether regions and got back to work.
This tete-a-tete falls firmly in TOT’s “Who Gives a Flying Ford Fairlane” file, as Isiah, New York, Rudy G and Stephon have all jumped the shark. Big payroll, big market, big losses, big Flying Ford Fairlane file.
In the TipOff Talk Tri-Plex Towers and Convention Center Plaza Lock of the Night file, however (current record 4-5-1), we hit the NCAA hardwood where Princeton is a 22 1/2 point dog at Duke. Now, 22 1/2 is a ton of points against a slowdown 2-0 Princeton Tigers team — whether you are 1991 Loyola Marymount or the 1987 Denver Nuggets. Take Princeton to cover that nonsense by at least 5.
And now … how not to score (or cover by 22 1/2)
