1981年,刚获得NCAA冠军的伊塞亚·托马斯宣布自己将放弃剩下的两年大学生活,在记者会上面对“将来从NBA退休后何去何从?”的询问时,意气风发的托马斯毫不犹豫地回答:“我母亲的教诲和我的夙志是解救因犯罪而无助的黑人同胞们,谋求法律途径走出困境,所以我会重回印地安大学法学院,修完课程取得律师资格……篮球对我来说,只是人生的一小步,我不会以它为业。”他的回答铿锵有力,令听者为之动容。26年后的今天,事实证明托马斯的一小步还没有走完。1992年他从篮球场上退下来之后,就履行了重回学校把刑事学读完的诺言,但却没有成为律师。因为从退役后他仍然在篮球场上和场外继续从事篮球事业,更讽刺的是,最近他竟成为了刑事案件的嫌疑犯,26年前曾经发誓要帮助犯罪黑人同胞的少年俊杰,现在竟成了需要被帮助的黑人罪犯。更尴尬的是,他的罪行居然是下三路的作风问题。说起托马斯的故事,那可是相当精彩的。
In 1981, just won the NCAA champion Isiah Thomas announced that he will give up the remaining two years of college life, at a press conference in the face of “the future from the NBA after retirement?” Asked, spirited Thomas Mill Do not hesitate to answer: “My mother’s teachings and my ambition is to rescue criminals helpless black compatriots, seek legal ways out of the woods, so I will return to the Indian Law School, completed the course to obtain Lawyer qualification ... Basketball is just a small step in my life, and I will not take it as an occupation. ”" His answer was sonorous and forceful, so the listeners were moved by it. Today 26 years later, it turns out that Thomas has not completed a small step. After he retreated from the basketball court in 1992, he fulfilled his promise of returning to school to finish his criminal studies but did not become a lawyer. Because after retiring he still continues to practice basketball on and off the basketball court. What is even more ironic is that recently he became a suspect in a criminal case. The juvenile who vowed to help criminals and black fellow 26 years ago now Black criminals need help. Even more embarrassing is that his crime is actually the next three way of working style. Speaking of Thomas’s story, that is quite exciting.
