NBA Obsessed takes you into the hit and run game of NBA Basketball.
Yesterday, we discussed how Isiah Thomas was still loved in Michigan no matter what kind of mockery he makes of himself out in the world of coaching. Today, we will look at the fact that he appears to be making a mockery of himself again.
Isiah Thomas is dismayed to find out he has doubters
Florida International deserves everything they get, so they better have an exit strategy. For myself, let us hope that Isiah surprises the nay sayers (that includes myself) and finds his coaching mojo.
The doubters are out there.
“He feels like he’s toxic in the NBA right now,” a longtime Thomas associate said. “He thinks this is the only way to get back in the basketball world.”
Out of the era of Michael, Magic and Larry, Thomas always considered himself the outsider, the dismissed superstar. He was the captain of the Bad Boys, the 6-foot-nothing point guard missed on being mythologized like Jordan, Johnson and Bird because genetics dealt him six too few inches. He never got over it, and never stopped making everyone else pay a price for his perceived slights. As a pro basketball commissioner, executive and coach, Thomas lived to abuse power and humiliate and even sexually harass underlings. He spent too much money on players, too little time on the job. His Knicks days were one big party on someone else’s tab.
