After Isiah Thomas said that he was still fit to coach the Knicks on Tuesday, we wondered if he was the most delusional man in the history of sports. That answer emerged yesterday as Thomas proclaimed that the Knicks will win a championship with him AND that he wants to leave a legacy. BWAHAHAHAHAHA. That's the best joke we'll be hearing all year. Seriously though, that smell of bullshit at Madison Square Garden isn't coming from those bulls, but from the head coach and President of Basketball Operations for the Knicks.
Perhaps Isiah Thomas has a future in comedy:
"My belief and what I see and where I believe we can go as a team and an organization, I believe one day that we will win a championship here and I believe a couple of these guys will be a part of that. I believe I'll be a part of that."Wow. Wow. Wow. What is going through that man's head?!? Not to make light of mental illness, but someone needs to get this man a straitjacket quick.
"As I sit here and I say it today, I know people will laugh even more at me, but I'm hell-bent on getting this accomplished and making sure that we get it done. And I'm not leaving until we get it done."
"I don't necessarily want to win a championship. I want to leave something that's going to stand for a long time. I want to leave a legacy. I want to leave a tradition. I want to leave an imprint, a blueprint in terms of how people play and how they coach and how they respond when they put on a Knick uniform.I want to leave what I left in Detroit. Every person who walks through that door as a Piston, when they put on that uniform, there's a certain pride that they carry. I want to put that here and I want to leave that here in New York. I want to leave a championship legacy."
"This is a dark time for us, but I know there's a light at the end of this tunnel and I'm going to keep digging and I'm going to keep pushing and I'm not going to quit. I'm going to do it here."
That someone could and should be Jim Dolan, but mum's the word with Dolan, who was at the game and had his normal post-game meeting with his coach, but isn't talking to the media. Isiah's rosy, otherworldly, outlook on life came before last night's awful loss to the Kings, a team led by first-year coach Reggie Theus. That's right. Out coached by Deering High School's Coach Bill Fuller. Clearly Theus got some good training on Hang Time (and all his other coach jobs).

Zeek will leave something that stands for a long time: A team burdened with massive contracts and no draft picks, left to fester in their own wretchedness for 10 more years. Plus the permanent defection of a bunch of Knicks fans when the Nets move to Brooklyn.
That's a lasting legacy all right.
How utterly pathetic, but I doubt I'll ever move on to the Nets.
If all he's concerned about is a legacy then he can leave right now because that's guaranteed.
a championship of the Darwin award.
Now, hold on a second.
Shouldn't it be every coach's intention to win a championship?
What if he said, I hope to eventually get to the playoffs?
Perhaps Isiah is by now so discredited anything he says is illegitimized.

"Shouldn't it be every coach's intention to win a championship?"
And the first step to doing just that is credibility. With the media, the fans and with his players.
As he continues to demonstrate, Isaiah has none left.
Are we still paying for Alan Houston?

I don't keep up with the Knicks, but that headline got my attention!
Isiah Thomas's impersonation of Baghdad Bob is the only reason to watch the Knicks now. He should have been fired long ago but Dolan seems to want him to squirm as firing him means paying him. It's like when George Bush became president and the biggest terrorist attack on american soil happened under his watch and yet he stil got elected again. It's like people wanted to see the apocalypse with Bush at the helm and the same with Thomas.
baby hitler? LAME!
Dear Mr. Stern,
Please make the Dolan's sell the Knicks. You'll be saving a great basketball franchise in your largest market.
Amen.
Isiah must have made a deal with the devil to keep his job. Albeit he is loosing. I guess the deal wasn't well negotiated.
