Let's Get Grabby

by Sterling Gould, More Credible

Knicks President and coach Isiah Thomas is going to be getting his court defense on, as he'll be chilling in a federal court for a sexual harassment case:

The allegations against Thomas made by Anucha Browne Sanders, a former senior vice president for the team, are salacious and likely to preoccupy the news media because of his celebrity and his mixed record running the Knicks. James L. Dolan, the chairman of Madison Square Garden, who fired Sanders, and the Garden are also named as defendants. Browne Sanders, 44, accuses Thomas, 46, of making unwanted sexual advances toward her and cursing her with derisive street language, both of which he denies. In her deposition, Browne Sanders contended that Thomas asked her to go “off-site” for private time and hugged her inappropriately.

Well duh Anucha, how else am I going to hug you inappropriately if it's not off-site? I can't do it in front of the management, that would send a bad message.

Not only was Thomas accused of some "bad touching" but supposedly he liked her a lot too:

“I didn’t say that he loved me,” she said. “He said he was in love with me.”
“Did you believe him?” one of Thomas’ lawyers asked.
“Didn’t know what to think,” she said.
“There’s a chance that he meant it, in your mind?” the lawyer asked.
“He could have,” she answered. “I am not a psychoanalyst. “

Let me ask you this Miss Anucha, if that is your real name, if you're not a psychoanalyst, how are you going to tell that I'm harassing you? Yeah, good luck answering that bit...

Oh, the grab-assing gave it away? The calls late at night calling you "leather pumpkin?" Discussing important basketball operation stuff while staring at your cleavage?... uhmm... erroneous! Hold your tongue wench, before I sign Starbury to a multi-year contract worth millions to hunt you down for bounty.
