I don't know where I've been, but the seedy, sexist underbelly of the Knicks franchise is being exposed in a $10 million sexual harassment suit filed by Anucha Browne Sanders, a former executive at Madison Square Garden, against Knicks coach and basketball legend Isiah Thomas. Sanders says she was fired because of her complaints about Thomas, who she says called her bitch and a ho and claimed not to "care about white people." He also told the former college basketball player he loved her after a friendly game of horse.

For sheer entertainment value, I think, genius orator Stephon Marbury took the stand yesterday, when the case went off in a slightly different direction. Marbury was forced to admit that he lured Sanders' intern into his car for sex (after his cousin had speculated out loud about the attractiveness of her genitalia) and that he called Sanders a bitch (but not a black bitch, he is quick to say) when she told him he couldn't give away any more free tickets.

I concluded, from looking at the photos from outside the courtroom, that Marbury was happy to be there despite the somber proceedings. But that's probably because it's Thomas on trial and not him. And, I mean, who doesn't have sex with an intern at some point? Isn't that what they're there for?
