Checketts was an abject failure with the Knicks and still is a coward. If I hear his “aren’t I wonderful” story about his dead dog one more time I’m gonna hurl!
Have a link to the dead dog story?
I'm not aware of his history with the Knicks, was he involved when Isiah Thomas was the head coach? I ask because I seem to be the only person on the planet who recalls that back in 1987 during the playoffs between the Pistons and the Celtics, Thomas gave an interview in which he complained about how the media fawned over Larry Bird, "... if Bird were black, he'd be just another good guy." His contention, the press was hyping Bird due to race and not ability, the same kind of comment Rush made about McNabb.
There was no hue and cry, no one, no *white celebrities* attempted to have Thomas kicked out of the NBA, he was not denied his chance at a championship ring later, he was not barred from being head coach of the Knicks. Once again it is demonstrated, racism only goes one way.
