I wish we could go back and see who wanted who drafted this was the perfect fit for the Knicks
I wanted Brook Lopez and got brain damage from trying to convince some here. And then I went for Kosta Koufos and they took Gallinari instead.
Bip takes personal responsibility and the Bip apologizes for that. Bip heard what you said and was ready to select Lopez. Bip remembers how it all went down:
Dream Sequence:I had the phone to my ear with David Stern on the other end ready to make the selection. At the last minute I needed to make sure our draft team was on the same page. So I asked NYK4eva, he asked Fishmike, Fish asked TMS, who then whispered to Allanfan, who ignored Briggs and then whispered something in the ear of Solace, who then peed a name on the carpet. That name was read by DJ who passed a note to Sebstar, who called him a racist.
Sebstar did not stop there. After calling everyone a racist, Sebstar was about to pass the note to Islesfan, but Islesfan had to sneeze so he skipped Isles and handed a note to Elite. Elite(who f's everything up) dropped the note in a puddle of water. He started to cry because he could no longer read the name. We told him to relax and stop being a baby, but he couldn't. Sebstar decided to write another name on a sheet of paper, skipped Isles again(who was now admiring himself in the mirror), skipped Elite(who was busy messing something else up) and passed the note to Briggs. Briggs crossed the name out and wrote another name on the notepad and passed it to playa. Playa exclaimed that he would not take part in this government consipiracy and ripped up the note. Angered Sebstar called him a racist and wrote a new name on a note. He then handed that note to Andrew and Martin.
Andrew and Martin didn't read the note, because they were using the "ignore feature" to ignore Sebstar. Angry, Sebstar called them racists and passed the note to Bonn. Bonn did the robot all the way over to Marv. Marv is old, so of course he was taking a nap. Bonn quietly did the robot past Marv and handed the note to MisterEarl. Earl looked at the name and then decided to give his opinion on the pick. After a half hour of riddles and "answer man" lines the group realized they had no idea what Earl was saying so Bonn took the note and past it to Nalod. Nalod took the note and wrote the name backwards and then past it to arkrud. Arkrud was drunk and couldn't read the note. He did however yell out "bleak pleayers don't try hard as whate pliyers". Surprisingly, Sebstar didn't call him a racist.
Arkrud threw up all over the note and then handed it to TMS who threatened to shoot Arkrud with one of his guns. He then cleaned off the puke and rewrote the name on the note. He was going to hand it to Basketballjones, but Jones was too busy telling jokes to care about what was going on. TMS skipped Jones and was about to hand the note to someone else, when he was distracted by some crazy guy yelling "I'm the next one to 10,000, I'm the next one to 10,000." While he was distracted. Killa4luv took advantage and stole the note from TMS. Killa decided not to write a name on the note because his soul had been crushed. He dropped the note and it was picked up by Nixluva. Nix didn't even bother to read the note because he knew he was just going to love whoever was on it. With a smile he handed it to djsuny who said "I don't care who we pick, I just love looking at Bip".
DJ passed it to Panos who claimed that he would not support anyone who wasn't from Greece. So we skipped Panos because we know all Greek players suck. The note was then past on to Action Jackson. Action took a jumpshot with the peace of paper. While we were all admiring the form on Action's jumper and commenting on how much smoother he looked then Allanfan, it was snatched out of midair by Kam77. Kam liked the pick but decided to argue with everyone anyway. Kam passed the note to Evil who wrote some show times for his band on it. Annoyed Bip grabbed the note and tried to warn everyone about how important it was for the members of UltimateKnicks to take this pick seriously. The Bip really tried to warn them!!!!!
Bip took the note and handed it to TrueBlue or was it Blueseats? Who cares, what's the difference. TrueBlue/Blueseats wrote a name on the note and handed it to Islesfan(who was finally paying attention). Isles said "we are never going to get a good draft pick as long as we are in this situation". We asked "what situation"? He said "the Marbury situation. It's killing us". He then started convulsing and rolling on the floor and repeating "Isiah did this to us, Isiah did this to us". Confused Blue/True took the note and gave it to PapaBear. Papabear told us that he had something to say but unfortunately Papabear had nothing important to add. He did however, write his own name on the piece of paper about 80 times just so we'd all know he was there. After writing his name he made sure to sign it "Papabear" and handed it to NYsporstfan11. Nysportsfan11 took the note and gave us a rather extensive and well thought out analysis of why the selection was a good one. He gave us background history and personal information. NYK4eva with tears in his eyes, walked over and told him it was the greatest analysis he had ever heard. He then walked behind him, bent down and began to kiss his asse like no man has ever kissed another man's asse in the history of the planet. NYsportsfan11 tried to hand it to Bip, but Bip was too busy configuring code for the new and improved ignore button(coming to UltimateKnicks Summer of '09). 4949 took the note smiled and said "ooh I like that". He then took the cell phone out of his pocket and told his better ho he would call her back after the pick. He then turned to me. He said:
"It appears that our final selection is in. We will be selecting Brook.....Brook.......Brook"
Then something started to happen. He didn't look like himself. He had trouble finishing his sentence. Smoke started coming out of his ears. Peices of brain leaked out of his nose. His brain was now damaged(not that it would make a difference) He started rolling on the ground. He was screaming. Slowly his screams turned into a clucking sound. At the same moment David Stern was demanding that the we make our final selection or forfeit the pick. Not sure what the team wanted Bip tried to interpret what 4949 was trying to say. Bip had heard Brook, but now he was clucking. What could he possibly be telling me? In a panic Bip screamed into the phone and said:
"David, is there someone on the list named Cluck, or Chicken?
David said: Do you mean the Rooster?
Bip said: "yeah, that must be it. We select the Rooster"
Bip knew once he hung up the phone and saw the looks on the faces of those in the room, that he had made a devastating mistake. For that, he apologizes.
