This looks like a good time to acknowledge the fact that, for as much fun as we poke at Vivek Ranadive and the Sacramento Kings, they are light years from being the New York Knicks.
After all, while the Kings are pretty much the same story told the same way, the Knicks have taken a small, petty feud with former player Charles Oakley and turned it into a countrywide talking point about how the James Dolan Knicks are actually a rebooted version of the Donald Sterling Clippers.
Sure, it's still an inside-basketball story that requires way more interest in the Knicks' sordid backstory than anyone should ever have, but in three days they have taken a simple story of a disputatious former player and transformed it into a hilarious tale of one small man's pettiest instincts ratcheted into hyperdrive.
