The New York Knicks new President of Basketball Operations, Donny Walsh, finally did what everyone in New York wanted to. He fired coach Isiah Thomas. Isiah Thomas who at first was President of Basketball Operations before becoming coach held both positions at one point. He was relieved of his President position earlier in the season and was finally fired.
As coach, the Knicks were unable to make the playoffs. As president, the Knicks received lack-luster players while losing many prospects. Thomas cost the Knicks millions of dollars on players who either are injured, no longer play for the Knicks, or are worth only hundreds. He was like a plague to the organization. A video was made showing all the bad things he had done to the New York Knicks organization.
It was only a matter of time before he was let go. I went to a game last November and he was already getting booed and heard the fans chanting "Fire Isiah!" I felt the same way. He single handedly destroyed the Knicks. Now we have to rebuild when we could have been strong by now. I hope that whoever takes over makes the right decisions and leads the Knicks back to greatness. New President Donny Walsh is already adored by many fans including me for doing the greatest thing to ever happen to the organization in years, firing Isiah Thomas.

About Me
- Virgil Q
- I'm pretty sure there's a lot more to life than being really, really good looking. And I plan on finding out what that is. I don't know how to put this but I'm kind of a big deal. People know me. I'm very important. I have many leather-bound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany. When you look into my eyes, it'll be like the first time you heard the Beatles. I'm a man who believes in you. My life is dedicated to saying things like "YES!" and "You better believe it!" I wasn't like every other kid, you know, who dreams about being an astronaut, I was always more interested in what bark was made out of on a tree. Richard Gere's a real hero of mine. Sting. Sting would be another person who's a hero. The music he's created over the years, I don't really listen to it, but the fact that he's making it, I respect that. I care desperately about what I do.
