Why We Didn't Make the Playoffs Isiah "said he believes the Knicks are the best 33-49 team ever assembled." I'm not sure if that's accurate, but the Knicks are certainly the most expensive 33-49 team ever assembled.
When I asked Isiah why we didn't make the playoffs, he blamed it on our injuries and on the Eastern Conference being too tough. I have since asked Commissioner David Stern to move us to the easier Western Conference next season and to investigate why we were the only team in the NBA with injuries.
Rewarding Isiah
I have also asked Commissioner David Stern to end all future NBA regular seasons on March 11th. If this year's regular season had ended on March 11th, we would have made the playoffs. That is why I rewarded Isiah with a multi-year extension on March 12th. Some have argued that my decision was premature. But I believe you can never reward greatness too early. In keeping with this winning philosophy, I have decided that ...
THE TIME HAS COME TO RAISE ISIAH'S NUMBER TO THE RAFTERS !!!
An Invitation On June 28, 2007, the same day the Chicago Bulls will use our lottery pick to draft a player better than Eddy Curry, we will retire Isiah's number. And YOU'RE INVITED to the ceremony!
Come be a witness to history, when the Pantheon of Knicks Legends gets its newest and most-deserving member, ISIAH THOMAS!
Please Help Us Choose Isiah's Number
Isiah never played for the Knicks. So we're not sure what number to put on the back of his Knicks jersey. We have three options:
(a) .393, as in a ".393 winning percentage since December 22, 2003, the day Isiah began building our championship contender";
(b) 64, as in "64 games under .500 since December 22, 2003, the day Isiah began building our model franchise"; and
(c) 0, as in "0 playoff wins since December 22, 2003, the day Isiah began building our dynasty."
JAMES DOLAN on Isiah : He's a good friend of mine and of the organization and I will continue to solicit his views. He will always have strong ties to me and the team.
