"I'M A BORN AND RAISED NEW YORKER, OK? YOU HAVE GOT TO GET A DOG ON THIS ROSTER, I DON'T CARE WHERE YOU FIND HIM. I DON'T CARE, YOU GOT TO GET SOMEONE WHO WILL BE IN PEOPLE'S FACE, SOMEONE WHO'S HARDCORE. YOU LOOK AT ISIAH THOMAS AND HIS DRAFT HISTORY ... YOU KNOW THAT HE KNOWS TALENT ... THIS PICK HAS GOT TO WORK. IT'S GOT TO WORK!"

The Nets grab a relieved Marcus Williams at No. 22, followed by Stern shaking his hand with one of those "Let's hope this is the last time we cross paths, mister" looks on his face.
During the Williams interview, ESPN chickens out from running a "MUST IMPROVE: KLEPTOMANIA" graphic

...then Utah taking a mortified Ronnie Brewer (who has a "Wait, isn't that the city with no black people?" look on his face)

And what about Portland's wheeling and dealing? They're like a drunk college kid randomly putting together an NBA Live team at 4 a.m (thats for you dan)

10:20 -- The Mavs take Maurice Ager at No. 28. He puts his head in his hands and starts sobbing hysterically as his entourage congratulates him. It's about time we had some emotion tonight, dammit. Ager walks up to the stage in a triple-breasted, oversized beige suit, goes to shake hands with Stern and immediately gets whistled for a foul on Dwyane Wade.

the previous funny tidbits can be found on bill simmons's draft diary X on espn.com
while the first quote is merely the angry black man stephen a smith going on another nrealy breathless rant...the next ones were all simmons
i love that guy
the way he blogs things is hilarious...as well as his articles
so if you want to get a unique perspective on sports and pop culture...read bill simmons
he should be required reading in college
here i am at the library (no laptop remember) and im giggling like a hyena reading this guy
with other people within earshot
him and coz are the only ppl who can make me do that

i really hate the white sox
their announcers have to retire or fall out of the press box or something
i bet ozzie would even call them homophobic slurs if he could hear how annoying they are
they refer to the white sox in the first person way too often
youd think that theyre about to call someone in the dugout to see who wants what on their pizza
too familial
i really hope they lose the division to the tigers on the last day of the season and miss the playoffs completely..because the yankees will win the wild card this year
