Anucha Browne Sanders, a former Knicks executive is suing Isiah Thomas and MSG Sports for sexual harassment. According to the lawsuit, Zeke was, at first, hostile towards her, making crude remarks to staff and then changed his tune and started making numerous advances towards her. (You know, when Zeke threatened Bill Simmons last week, maybe he was just coming on to him.) She claims that he tried to kiss her last month and once told her, "I know you think I'm inappropriate. But I'm in love with you."

Now, I'm no fan of Isiah Thomas, although I appreciate that he'll keep the Knicks a terrible team with his tinkering, but I'll withold judgement, even if this is the guy who single-handedly swindled all the CBA owners and bankrupted the league in 12 months. Still, if you need a smoking gun, Sanders said that Thomas "compared his feelings for her to experiences the characters had in the film 'Love and Basketball.'" I'm pretty sure no one can make that up.
