With three starters gone from the team that had reached the NBA Finals, and using several players with minimal NBA experience, Thomas' team finished 41-41 and was eliminated in the first round of the playoffs by the Philadelphia 76ers. Thomas was the subject of considerable criticism during the season for juggling the lineup and his unconventional offensive approach, but he believes he and his team are on the proper course. He also appears to have the support of team president Donnie Walsh, who believes Thomas improved in the mundane aspects of coaching during his first season and showed a natural instinct for its finer points.

Extractions: "He'd cut your heart out to win. And he would put it right there on the floor in front of you, and he'd step on it. That's Isiah," says Pat Riley on ESPN Classic's SportsCentury series. He defied the odds just by escaping Chicago's West Side, but Isiah Thomas didn't stop there. Through two seasons at Indiana University and 13 with the Detroit Pistons, Thomas became synonymous with winning. He could shoot, pass and defend, but his ability to lead, as much as his talent, earned the 6-foot-1 point guard a place in the Basketball Hall of Fame. Isiah Thomas led the Detroit Pistons to NBA titles in 1989 and 1990. After winning an NCAA title as a sophomore at Indiana in 1981, Thomas turned pro, and the Pistons made him the second pick of the draft. He led Detroit to consecutive championships in 1989 and 1990, and was named the Finals MVP in the latter year. Thomas retired in 1994 with averages of 19.2 points and 9.3 assists. Two years later, as part of the NBA's 50th anniversary celebration, Thomas, who started 10 All-Star Games, was named one of the league's 50 greatest all-time players.

Extractions: NBA ... Free $10,000 NFL Football Contest All Time Greatest NBA Players Thomas, Isiah Isiah "Zeke" Thomas was one of the greatest "small men" ever to play professional basketball. His only peer at point guard in the NBA during the 1980s was the Lakers' Earvin "Magic" Johnson, who at 6-9 brought unique physical skills to the position. Thomas, who stood barely over 6-feet, was in his day the grittiest performer to play the position, a feisty competitor who offered no quarter and expected none in return. Like Johnson, Thomas possessed the skill and determination to take over a game at will. Thomas helped build a last-place Detroit Pistons team into back-to-back NBA champions in the late 1980s. Thomas' sunny smile belied an inner toughness that made him a key member of a scrappy, physical group of players dubbed the "Bad Boys" of Detroit.
Isiah Thomas Buys CBA isiah thomas Buys Continental basketball Association. Move could create a minorleague system for NBA, hurt colleges http://www.sportslawnews.com/archive/Mark's View/Thought14.html
Extractions: Isiah Thomas Buys Continental Basketball Association Move could create a minor league system for NBA, hurt colleges Detroit, August 3, 1999 Former NBA star Isiah Thomas agreed to buy the Continental Basketball Association, a second-tier professional league for $10 million. The CBA operates in the shadows of the NBA, with franchises in smaller cities and players, while pros, have not made it to the big league. Don't underestimate the potential of this deal just because Thomas paid a relatively small price for the league. His NBA pedigree and stellar connections, give him the opportunity to revolutionize the basketball system as we now know it. The acquisition will change the CBA structure to a single entity structure, such as the now-defunct ABL or Major League Soccer, where the league controls every aspect of governance. According to the New York Times, Thomas plans to expand the number of teams in the league, and give it a greater profile. What is more important is that the stage is now set for the creation of a minor league system in basketball a first causing premature gray hairs in scalps of many college sports administrators, University presidents and NCAA bureaucrats. The NCAA Training Ground Until now, men's college basketball has been the breeding grounds for talent in the NBA. There is no realistic alternative for young men to get their experience except in the top collegiate programs. But that system, under the jurisdiction of the NCAA, has its faults.

Among the preeminent talents in the National Basketball Association is the outspoken forward of the Philadelphia 76ers, Charles Barkley, whose quick and aggressive play around the basket has placed him among the league's leading rebounders and scorers since the 1986-87 season. At six feet five inches tall, Barkley is the shortest player ever to lead the NBA in rebounding. The 250 pounds packed onto his relatively stubby frame helps Barkley to overpower taller players; never has a player so heavy been able to leap as high or dribble as skillfully. "Charles Barkley is unique with his body frame, with his structure, with his jumping ability," Pat Riley, the former head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers and currently the head coach of the New York Knicks, explained to Jan Hubbard of New York News day (February 25, 1990). "The whole thing is unique, and that's why he is truly great." An extraordinarily intense competitor, Barkley plays every game as though it were his last. "A game for Charles is a passionate experience," Matt Guokas, Barkley's former head coach with the 76ers, told Mark Ribowsky for Inside Sports (June 1986). "I've never seen anyone so ferocious in wanting to prove he's better than his opponent." But Barkley's highly emotional nature and his frequently blunt comments to reporters have often made him the center of controversy.

According to sources, the Knicks remain optimistic that they can convince Brown to become their next coach and are prepared to offer him a five-year contract worth between $50 million and $60 million. Brown admitted publicly for the first time yesterday that he is interested but he reiterated that he hasn't decided whether he wants to coach next season. "If I'm speaking to them I obviously have an interest," Brown said. "But my concern is what is best for my family and if I can do it mentally.

Knicks president Isiah Thomas (l.) and Garden chairman James Dolan leave Larry Brown's house in Easthampton after meeting last night. Larry Brown moved closer to becoming the Knicks' next coach - and rich beyond his wildest dreams - after meeting for two hours last night with Garden chairman James Dolan and Knicks president Isiah Thomas. According to a person close to Brown, the Hall of Fame coach came away encouraged after the meeting that took place at his summer house in the Hamptons. Brown is expected to meet today with interim head coach Herb Williams and would offer Williams a position on his coaching staff should he take the job. "I'm not going to comment on how it went," Brown told The .Associated Press. "We're going to go to dinner tomorrow somewhere in New York with Herb Williams," he added. "It's important for me to talk to him." Once he wraps up his meeting with Williams, the Knicks likely will offer him the job tomorrow and there's a chance he could be named coach by the end of the week.
