Isiah Thomas American Athlete Quotations

One word is passion. They are passionate about their team. We win we're great, lose and we're the worst. But you can't overreact to the fans.

If it fills a need, if it fills a rebuilding situation. And my goal is to fill and rebuild and I am not going to be shortsighted.

That challenge of working through it, keeping guys motivated, keeping the group together, overcoming obstacles, all of that; I really got into it.

Where we sit now, I don't think we have the luxury of the 20 teams before us. I think we are going after the best players we can get on the board.

We needed Larry Brown. Me more so than anyone. I wanted Larry to do a great job for us and I thought he would and I thought he could.

There is not a player on this roster now, who doesn't understand or believe that if he is not performing, I don't have problems getting rid of them.

If you want consistency, then you perform. This is a performance job. You get paid to perform. Your money is guaranteed, but your minutes are not.
