* When the Suns’ youth is discussed, interim head coach Earl Watson said Brandon Knight should be included in the discussion at age 24.

Knight had no turnovers in Friday night’s win after averaging 4.5 turnovers in his first four games since returning from a seven-week injury absence.

Knight has shot well from 3-point range (39.5 percent) in the five games but has only made 30 percent of his two-point shots.

I cut back to basic a while ago but I'm sure I can find it on-line. When was it? The most recent one?

Nice read. I love when he says Sacramento wasn't a rivalry because they never beat us, but Phoenix was.

I didn't, but you are right. I read quite a bit about it (and his other misconduct with St. Hope), and he has ruined my best childhood memories of Suns basketball.

They actually showed the police video of the girl filing her report and then played the "confrontation call" when she tried to get him to confess. He doesn't fully implicate himself, but it's pretty damning stuff.

That woman, Ilee Muller, didn't appear on "Real Sports" on Tuesday night, but three others did, including Amanda Koba, who went to police with her story in 1996 but never had appeared on camera for a TV inteview.

Koba agreed to a $230,000 settlement with Johnson in 1997, which she said she now regrets.

"I blamed myself for years and years. Others have been hurt that wouldn't have been hurt," she said.

Johnson did not appear on "Real Sports" on Tuesday night, although he appeared on the show eight years ago to deny the accusations. His press secretary issued this statement: "It's unfortunate that this previously addressed issue has once again been rehashed instead of using the opportunity to tell the ongoing story of a community renaissance led by residents working closely with one of their own, a professional athlete turned Mayor, to make Sacramento a better place."

Steve Maviglio, Johnson's former campaign manager, also questioned the rehashing of old allegations that have long been denied and never led to criminal charges against Johnson, and suggested Koba might have been out for financial gain when she told her story to Deadspin last year and "Real Sports" this week.

"We're not sure if she was paid for this. Deadpsin sorta waffled when they were asked about this," Maviglio told FOX 40 News.

"She's still not talking to the (Sacramento) Bee, because the Bee doesn't pay."

Johnson is a finalist for this year's Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame class. The announcement is scheduled for April 4 before the NCAA championship game.

There is also a financial incentive to the accuser. I'm not saying he didn't do this stuff 20 years ago but why is it being brought up now?

She was paid 250k to not talk and would have been sued if she did. Now she is talking and he isn't suing... Hmmm
