Isiah's tough day in court

Knicks coach Isiah Thomas endured some tough testimony last week during his sexual harassment lawsuit brought by former Knicks Marketing VP, Browne Sanders.

Sanders said Thomas resisted 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 f--k about the sponsors ..." Browne Sanders testified Thomas told her. "I don't give a f--k 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. Claiming that Thomas said, “Bitch, I don't give a f--k about these white people.”

After a frustrating 2004 loss, she said Thomas grabbed her by the arm and pulled her into a room off the Garden floor and screamed at her for having scheduled player appearances at a corporate event the day before. "We're not going to do any more of these f-----g community events," Browne Sanders says Thomas screamed. "I'm here to win f-----g basketball games."

Mere months after that last incident Sanders said that Thomas professed his love for her. "I figured it out when we played horse," she said Thomas told her after a 2004 Knicks victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves. "I'm in love with you. It's like the movie 'Love and Basketball.'" Browne Sanders, whose husband was not in the courtroom, said she felt uncomfortable and ended the conversation.

So this proves what we’ve known all along, that Isiah Thomas is nuts. Not Ron Artest nuts, but more like Jekyll and Hyde. Only instead of drinking a magic potion and turning into a green blood thirsty maniac, the taste of on-court defeat transforms him into a sex-crazed white-hating bigot.
