Isiah Lord Thomas has dedicated his life to professional basketball. He honed
his skills in Chicago's South Side, went to college, signed an NBA contract,
joined the Detroit Pistons, turned them into league champions in 1989 and
1990, and was named one of the NBA's 50 greatest players. Thomas became
general manager and vice-president of the Toronto Raptors when they entered
the NBA in 1995-96. In 1999, he bought the Continental Basketball Association,
which went bankrupt in 2001. Now, he's back in the game as president of the
New York Knicks, who compete every night in the sports-media center of the
world. Here, writer Paul Challen examines Thomas's life in depth - as a
terrific player, as the man who introduced professional basketball to Canadian
fans, and as the often-controversial coach and executive.
