The Gold Club Trial!

I need to hear more of this type shyt....

-In 1994, Kaplan (a big Knicks fan) invited John Starks to the club; Starks took in a lesbian sex show and had sex with one of the women. Ziggy remembers being surprised that Starks was involved, because he thought Starks was a devout Christian and family man.

-In 1996, Kaplan arranged for Andruw Jones and a friend to watch two of the GC strippers perform a live sex show in a local hotel room (paid for by Kaplan). Ziggy testified that Jones had sex with at least one of the women. During Jones's subsequent testimony, the prosecutor asked which of the women Jones had sex with, and Jones answered, "Both of them," adding, "to tell you the truth, I wouldn't remember one of their faces right now."

Who did Ziggy refer to as "The Michael Jordan of Sex"?
Aforementioned dancer (and alleged prostitute) Jacklyn "Diva" Bush. Ziggy remembered one time when Rodman -- allegedly a frequent GC patron -- was making out with a waitress in a semi-private room, and Kaplan realized that the poor girl was "out of her league," so he summoned Bush from the Gold Club bullpen to "take care" of Rodman. Why did Rodman need special attention? I don't know and I don't want to know. In fact, let's agree never to discuss this again.

What were the two greatest moments of the trial that involved Patrick Ewing?
1. Ex club-manager Deborah Pinson testified that she inadvertently walked into a room where a dancer was performing oral sex on Ewing. When she complained to Kaplan, he allegedly called her stupid and added, "These are my friends. You won't be complaining when we're sitting in the front row of Madison Square Garden."

2. Ewing testified that he received complimentary VIP rooms, dancers and sexual favors on two separate occasions -- both times he received oral sex while Kaplan and Sicignano looked on (yukkkk). According to Ewing, "The girls danced, started fondling me, I got aroused, they performed oral sex. I hung around a little bit and talked to them, then I left."

To piggy back the OP and Vince Carter, I'd like to see one on his dunk contest. There's two angles to the story too:

1.) How Vince Carter lived up to and surpassed the hype.
2.) That was a damn good contest overall. McGrady and Francis were great in it and wound up complete afterthoughts. Just about any other year they would have run away with it.

And?

I guess here is where you tell me your irrelevant point...
the point is, he didnt upset anyone at the '36 olympics. He didnt piss off Hitler. The Nazis treated him better than his own country did.

Before 30 for 30 covered it, I wanted more backstory on Reggie's 8 in 9.




as a Knicks fan it was one of the most DEFLATING moments I've ever experienced in sports period.

this has been covered a million times..... :piss:on the "backstory" :damn: We lost! The Knicks took a legendary L in sports with that one, but it was in the 90's :sitdown: and wasn't on some Clay/Listion #1 status or something

:camby:no more stories or interviews about this for at least 10 years now
