New York – Following news that Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin secretly signed an incentive-laden, deferred contract to play for the NBA’s New York Knicks beginning November 5^th,  eTrueSports has learned of a previous personal and business relationship between Palin and the team.

 

In an exhaustive, no-spandex-left-untouched investigation, eTS has established that Sarah Palin spent two seasons as a Knick City Dancer in the late 1990s.

 

When reached on the campaign trail, deep in Idaho’s Bitter Root Mountains, Palin admitted she had danced at Madison Square Garden, but denied rumors linking her romantically with then Knick power forward Charles Oakley.

 

"Charles and me, we were cool," Palin said. "But that's all there was to it." As for dancing, Palin says she was proud to have made the Knicks' dance team, despite being 15 years older than her colleagues.

 

"It was fun, gyratin' and gruntin' in front of all the liberal media types," she said. “They slobbered themselves somethin’ silly.”

 

Palin dismissed a report that as part of her new player contract with the Knicks that she would be required to once again don spandex. “It’s my choice,” explained Palin. “Maybe for one of the fellas birthdays I might do a cake routine. We’ll see.”

 

In addition, Palin expressed frustration that the Vice-Presidential campaign was infringing on her basketball practice time, candidly admitting she was having trouble mastering the lay-up shot. “Usually I just bomb from the outside,” Palin said.
