The Ongoing Saga Of The NBA's Ever Growing Spectacularity

It was yet another truly awesome day for the NBA today as the Portland Trail Blazers lost this year's number one draft pick, Greg Oden, for most likely the entirety of his rookie season. Oden went under the knife for an exploratory look at his right knee, only to end up needing microfracture surgery. Once one of the few positive stories in the NBA and a seemingly generally good guy, he will now be on crutches for two months and take six to twelve to fully recover, leaving the Trail Blazers as the likely recipients of back to back top picks.

Meanwhile, on the other coast, New York Knick's point guard and captain of douchebaggery, Stephon Marbury, testified in the sexual harassment lawsuit against Isiah Thomas. He called the proceedings a joke, called the plaintiff a black b#$% and stated that "Money makes you do crazy things, man," after recounting his exploits of luring a drunken intern into a truck to play hide the Starbury outside a strip club. He also most likely threw bologna slices at her while she did a jiggly naked dance to UGK's Like That, but that's just my hypothesis. Not that there's anything wrong with throwing processed deli meat at a chick while she twerks it, but this is the self-proclaimed greatest point guard in the league who wants to be Italy's basketball Beckham and calls dog fighting a sport. He also drove away from the courthouse with his head out the window, apparently reenacting one of the acts he described on the stand. The man has class, people.
