[quote="JohnnyFan" post=281606][quote="L J S A" post=281605]He's not a good coach, and he's kind of a jerk, which means the Knicks will give him a 15-year contract.[/quote]
Ha....I am realizing your comments just as easily could have been attributed to Isaiah Thomas.[/quote]
Jackson would stop short of a suicide attempt followed by weirdly blaming his daughter, though.

Kind of makes you wonder if Mark would be a better fit on Chris' staff than Mitch

Thomas was in a league of his own ... and a sneaky dirty player to boot. Would cheap-shot an opponent, then hide behind Mahorn and Laimbeer. And his comment about Larry Bird being greatly overrated because he was white was not only stupid, it was despicable. Great player; awful person.

He also acted like Magic Johnson's best friend publicly. Remember the kisses on the cheek before each Pistons-Lakers game? Then after the HIV disclosure, publicly wondered if Magic didn't engage in other than heterosexual sex.

Given the risk percentages, he probably did. But it certainly wasn't Thomas' place to speculate out loud, and certainly not in that less-accepting climate.

And he probably did it with that stupid, phony smile on his mug.

— Erman, who never publicly spoke on the subject, reportedly had designs on undermining Jackson to management. Erman resurfaced in the Celtics organization. Scalabrine, in a podcast with Yahoo! two years ago, described the atmosphere under Jackson as dysfunctional. He also said his demotion stemmed from a disagreement in a coaches meeting after a loss to the Spurs. “It was like a bombardment of (Jackson) trying to like get everyone to say that I’m a bad guy, and I’m a bad coach, and I should be off the staff,” Scalabrine said on the podcast. “I’m not sure what the point of it is, but just imagine after an emotional loss to the Spurs, and he goes to every coach and says, ‘Should Scalabrine be here? Is he a bad guy? Is he disrespectful?’ Or whatever he said. And what is an (assistant) coach going to do? You’re like some low-level coach, and Mark is your boss, and is Scalabrine disrespectful? Of course you’re going to say ‘yes’. So every person was like ‘yeah.’ So then he brought in management and did the same thing. So we have a meeting where it’s me versus coaches and management. We’re talking about (GM Bob Myers) and the assistant GM and the owner’s son (Kirk Lacob). And my whole thing was like, ‘I think there’s a time and place for this, right? Can’t we do this in a different time?’” Scalabrine never returned to coaching.
— Two days after the Warriors lost in the first round of the 2014 playoffs, Jackson was fired. Owner Joe Lacob later justified it by claiming Jackson was widely disliked: “Part of it was that he couldn’t get along with anybody else in the organization,” Lacob said at a luncheon with venture capitalists. “And look, he did a great job, and I’ll always compliment him in many respects, but you can’t have 200 people in the organization not like you.”

The point isn't how Johnson contracted HIV, but that someone who acted publicly as his best friend, turned on him with highly speculative comments. It wasn't his place, or anyone in the public arena, to do so.

And that's why I wrote, "But it certainly wasn't Thomas' place to speculate out loud, and certainly not in that less-accepting climate."
