WCBSTV in New York is reporting that Isiah Thomas, the former head coach and president of the New York Knicks, was rushed from his home to a White Plains hospital after overdosing on sleeping pills. As a point guard from 1981 until 1994, Thomas led the Detroit Pistons to two NBA championships. He’s considered to be one of the best NBA players ever.
But his athletic ability didn’t translate into a successful career as an NBA coach and executive. During his two-year tenure coaching the Knicks, the team had an abysmal record of 56-108. Thomas was also embroiled in a sexual harassment lawsuit brought by Anucha Browne Sanders, a former Knicks executive.
