The only person that I haven't heard question Isiah Thomas' draft selection of Renaldo Balkman was Renaldo Balkman, but apparently Thomas took exception with the criticism doled out on live tv by former knick Greg Anthony.
"Greg Anthony, this so-called former Knick who - with millions of people watching - had the audacity to take me to task on a player that I'm sure he'd never seen before in his life. I'm just glad all of New York doesn't think like Greg Anthony. The things that he said on draft night . . . I thought he was way, way, way out of bounds. Greg Anthony should never ever be in a position to question myself on anything about basketball, because I do remember the kind of player he was. I'd love to speak to him. I'd love to see him. I thought he was very unfair."
1 - Greg Anthony was a better knick than Thomas will ever be.
2 - In Regards to drafting Balkman, everyone in NY thinks like Anthony
3 - Anthony is a draft analyst. He has a right to question the draft.
4 - Grown men can't say things like it "was very unfair."
5 - Anthony might have been as good as Thomas, but he'll go down as a better basketball player than Balkman
