Redirection ... "Those of us who grew up in Chicago are used to watching Michael Jordan dominate on the court. Yesterday, MJ dominated in court ... ... In 2002, Jordan supposedly paid the woman $250,000 but then sued the woman claiming she tried to extort him for the money after paternity tests proved that he wasn't the baby daddy. In December, a state appeals court ruled that even if he had promised her money, she had mislead him about the paternity of the child in order to get such a promise." In other words, Knafel entered court with the argument that "I scammed him fair and square, your honor, and now that he knows that he was being scammed, he isn't paying up". Interesting where ethics have gone, when such a complaint is even taken seriously.

Pinko's right - Starks was a bitch. Guy couldn't guard anyone - always hand checking and jersey grabbing and when things didn't go his way he'd pout ... Anthony Mason was a poor man's (very poor man's) Rodman. Get over it Spook - the Knicks were shit and still are.

Who is the girl in the brown shirt in the Busted Tees ad? I know she is on the young side but she is fine. In fact, her presence on this site almost single-handedly makes me want to buy a Busted Tee.

The knicks spook come on. I saw you as more of a Pistons fan before the bulls ended their run. The knicks didnt do shit and noe isiah has screwed that team up so bad its amazing.

Spook - he only sports them when he's trying to impress the ladies ... then he tells them he has no money. and you better regret rooting for Starks, Anthony Mason and Charles Oakley ... Oakley's ok -- but not Starks. Not at all! I relished every jumper BJ Armstrong made in that dude's face. as few and far between as they were.

Does he really wear those rings? Just another reason why, I will never regret rooting for the New York Knicks at the Map Room during the Bulls Heyday, Never!

I think the word you're looking for is "misdeeds". You have misgivings about MJ's misdeeds. Just doing my job.

I would prefer to revert to my childhood, ignore all of MJ's misgivings and pretend like I'm recording all of the Bulls' post-season games of VHS again...
