He can count. He just took a pill for every coaching win he had.

He'll be up and around in no time.

Isiah Thomas overdosed on sleeping pills?

MSNBC just reported Thomas o'd on sleeping pills. He is still alive, and doing well.

Not sure if it was a suicide attempt or not.

Two NBA Championship rings, in which he was the starting point guard, named a member of the fifty greats of all-time NBA players when they did that list a few years back, holds many, many, many team records for Indiana and the Pistons. Yet, you say the guy is a bum.

to you sir.

Players don't always make good (or better) coaches, let alone General Managers. Come on man, I know you're smarter than that!

Jerry West = Hall of Fame player = Logo of NBA...... Greatest GM in NBA history. Architect behind Lakers 12 finals appearances and 8 titles since 1980.

Isiah = the most hated in NBA especially the way he treated Jordan, spread rumors about Magic being gay and bankrupted the CBA after 50 years of operation. Too bad he didn't take more pills.

A suburban police chief likened the conflicting accounts of an accidental overdose at Isiah Thomas' home to a "cover-up" and rebuked the former New York Knicks coach Saturday for saying it was his teenage daughter who required treatment.

NEW YORK -- A suburban police chief likened the conflicting accounts of an accidental overdose at Isiah Thomas' home to a "cover-up" and rebuked the former New York Knicks coach Saturday for saying it was his teenage daughter who required treatment.

"It wasn't his daughter," Harrison Police Chief David Hall told The Associated Press. "And why they're throwing her under the bus is beyond my ability to understand."

LOL, maybe because Isaiah Thomas is a fvcking dirtbag???
