Ah Jersey. We used to live there, used to take the train into Manhattan every day, once even said to hell with the cab and negotiated the MTA line well enough to make our way to Newark Airport with two dogs and a short-tempered girlfriend in tow. The "switch" station on that fateful trip? "Secaucus, Secaucus junction." The Jersey twang still stings our ears (and for the record, we took the cab on the way home).
Look, we don't hate Jersey. Upper Montclair (home to SI's Peter King, among other big media names who long for the seclusion of the suburbs) is an especially nice place. The Paramus mall is better than any you'll find in Southern California. Then again, it's a mall. But no gift from a mall will be as large as the one that two NBA teams will receive tonight. With the first pick in the 2007 NBA Draft...
Live from Secaucus, New Jersey it's the 2007 NBA Draft Lottery! That's right, folks, in a little over an hour we'll find out which two lucky NBA teams' balls will turn into Greg Oden and Kevin Durant. We, being Bulls fans, are particularly intrigued because we'll be taking over whatever slot the Knicks would rightly fall into. Thank you, Isiah Thomas.
