in 1987 Isiah Thomas said the only reason Larry Bird was highly popular because he was white and had Bird been black he “would’ve been just another player”...

since then he has been head coach of the detrot pistons and HC as well as HC and president of the NY Knicks...this racist was recently hired to run the basketball program at Flroida International....

I am a native New Yorker and a die hard Knicks fan. The day they finally gave Isiah the boot, I celebrated the whole day. He should also be in jail for what he did to that woman, but hey, I guess that’s what you can do when you have the liberals on your side.

I did my usual, post before reading through the thread, thank you for letting me know that I am not the only one who recalled it.

Oh, should have added to you in that post, in the story from Sports Illustrated, they said Thomas called Larry Bird, ostensibly to apologize, Bird told him it was his mother who was really upset and then handed her the phone — apparently Mother Bird gave Thomas a good piece of her mind.
