Take That Isaiah!!!

Allow me to describe this with a line from the immortal Dr. Peter Venkman: "Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together - mass hysteria"...

Alas, the point of my thesis would be this...

The Sacramento Kings today hired Eric Musselman as their head coach, thereby increasing the number of former Rapid City Thrillers coaches in the NBA to 1. Bravo Sacramento, Bravo...

For those you who do not hail from the Great White North and are unwise to our ways, the Rapid City Thrillers were a moderately successful CBA team in the early and mid 90's. But, tragically, the glory that was the Thrillers would not even live to see the ruin of the once proud league by the human ebola virus that is Isaiah Thomas. After the '94-'95 season, they were moved to Florida (which, ironically, is where they were originally located) and were unceremoniously renamed the "Beach Dogs"...

All this involving a team that was originally named for a Michael Jackson song...

Update: In all my excitement, and blind hatred for the man, I forgot that Flip Saunders coached the Thrillers in the late '80's. Big thanks to Cary at Get Crunk with Jesus...
