Some posters like to use the arguement that Isiah drove the CBA League out of business and that he always quits after a few years. I was reading some articles that gave an actual account on what happened....a little off topic but intresting.

Quotes taken from: http://www.usbasket.com/cba/cba01.asp

Teams of the cash-strapped Continental Basketball Association scrambled Friday to pin down their options for survival. Some simply called it quits. The league suspended play Thursday, less than a week after eight of the 10 teams failed to meet player payrolls.....

The CBA's value plummeted when the NBA decided to operate its own developmental league rather than relying on the CBA. The NBA had extended its partnership through the current season - the 55th for the CBA.

Isiah Thomas, the former NBA star who is now head coach of the Indiana Pacers, bought the CBA in 1999 for slightly more than $9-million. The NBA ordered him to sell the CBA before next season's training camp.

Thomas personally advanced funds to pay the players through their last games, the league said.

where's Islesfan to talk about what a scumbag Isiah is, and that his personal money he used to pay guy was probably stolen anyhow.

what isiah did in the cba league is no concern of mines. i'm only concerned about what he can do for the knicks at this present time

and what he has done is taken them from being a under .500 team to being a .500 team in a matter of months

i'm satisfied

amen. I mean, I can barely remember last year's team, and I can't wait to see next year's version. Ariza and Sweetney starting, craw and marbs gunning, JYD off the bench to barking at the garden.

did I forget anyone?
