Isiah Thomas cares

Browne Sanders said (Isiah) Thomas bristled at her efforts to get players to turn out for corporate events scheduled long before he took over the team in December 2003.

"Bitch, I don't give a [expletive] about the sponsors ..." Browne Sanders testified Thomas told her. "I don't give a [expletive] about ticket sales."

She also said Thomas rebuffed her March 2004 request that he sign renewal-request letters sent out to past season ticket holders with a pointed shot at loyal Knick fans.

"Bitch, I don't give a [expletive] about these white people," Browne Sanders said Thomas told her.

This is Isiah in a nutshell, or so his enemies will tell you; and no one collects enemies quite like Isiah. He once infamously proclaimed that were Larry Bird black, "he'd be just another good guy." (Bird later fired him as coach of the Indiana Pacers.) He refused to pass Michael Jordan the ball at Jordan's first All-Star game. (Jordan later, it is widely speculated, made sure Isiah was left off the Olympic "Dream Team.") Calling upon decades of warm feelings, Thomas lured Larry Brown, one of his few remaining NBA allies, to New York, where the two quickly descended into backbiting and palace intrigue. Thomas and Brown are now, from all reports, the bitterest of enemies.

Maybe Thomas' attitude explains his poor business sense. Say, how's the CBA doing?
