Funny, but sadly typical:
<H1>ISIAH'S DOUBLE DRIBBLE</H1>
<H2>SAYS IT'S OK FOR BLACK MAN TO CALL BLACK WOMAN A BITCH, BUT WHITE MAN CAN'T</H2>


White men better not call a black woman "bitch''around Knicks coach Isiah Thomas, but if black men do it well, that's fair game.

He was never that good of a baskeball player, especially in an era that featured Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, and a young Michael Jordan.

I always caught weird vibes from Isaiah Thomas -- he always came across as being kind of gay. Magic Johnson came across as gay too, especially that time at the all-star game where they kissed each other on the cheek at half court. True story.Edited by: yanling

He was the clown that said "if Larry Bird were black, he would be just an average player" or something like that. I think he was jealous because Bird's Celtics had knocked his Pistons out of the playoffs. That was YEARS ago when I actually followed basketball. I haven't watched the NBA in about 15 years, and things like this are the reason why.

Thomas couldn't hold John Stockton or Pete Maravich's jockstraps on his best day...much less the greatest basketball player in the history of the game Larry "Legend" Bird. Thomas was vastly overrated, whereas it was guys like the underrated Bill Laimbeer that were the (true) heart/soul of the Pistons!

Bill Lambeer is unique because he's a "dirty player" but you only notice it because he's white. If he were black such thugishness would be expected and applauded.

The knicks hated Lambeer because of that one day he clocked Anthony Mason in the face for fouling him.
