When Isiah Thomas was hired by FIU 3 years ago, he was introduced by Modesto Madique (University President) as "Isiah Thompson." The embarrassment began that day and never really ended. Thomas never won more than 11 games in a season, and finished last year's campaign with an 8-21 record. Isiah was fired today by the University.

FIU head basketball coach Isiah Thomas, a former Detroit Piston, is on that teams short-list, to become their new head coach, reports Chris Broussard, of ESPN The Magazine. The NBA Hall of Famer led to Pistons to back-to-back championships in 1989, and 1990.

Donnie Walsh is steeping down as president and general manager of the New York Knicks, reports Chris Sheridan, of espn.com.

In an article by Matt Ehalt, of ESPNNewYork.com, NBA Hall of Famers Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Isiah Thomas say that Michael Jordan was better than LeBron James.

Having watched the Hornets all season, it's evident that Chris Paul is not the player he was before his knee injury. He's lost that first step, which was arguably his best weapon. However, he's improved other aspects of his game to make up for what he's lost.
