Surely you've already heard this fun tidbit from the Isiah Thomas trial, but this is a Knicks blog, so I might as well open the discussion. From the NY Daily News (found via The Fanhouse):
The Knicks attempted to muzzle former executive Anucha Browne Sanders in December 2005 by promising to help her land a high-paying job if she kept quiet about alleged sexual harassment by coach Isiah Thomas, the Daily News has learned.
But Browne Sanders, then one of the NBA's highest-ranking female executives, spurned the offer, which included a one-year Knicks consultancy gig at a salary of $300,000.
Word has it that Jerome James got to start a few games last year for similar reasons.
