Me and a couple friends got into a real intense conversation about Isiah Thomas today. The topic? Will Isiah Thomas' horrific tenure with the Knicks overshadow his legendary career as a Hall of Fame point guard?
My answer is yes. People always look at "what have you done for me lately". It is impossible to ignore what he has done to one of the NBA's most beloved franchises, the New York Knicks. His embarrasing sexual harrassment lawsuit did not help either. He is a top 50 player and a Hall of Famer, but his prominence was almost 20 years ago...
So when Isiah Thomas gets fired after the regular season what will you remember him for?

Last time I saw an intense Knicks conversation Silverfuel almost beat up a Nets fan. Lots of screaming.
I'll never trust this' team again.

I dont think so.. Kareem was blackballed for the pot smoking and stuff he said after his playing career was over but people still think of him as the great player he was. I still think of Isiah as a great tough player.. part of why his total ineptitude at building a roster is so frustrating.
