球员时代,他被称为硬木地板上的“微笑刺客”(Smiling assassin)。现在,身为尼克斯总裁的他则拥有另一个很酷的绰号“纽约教父”(God father 0f NewYork)。 也许,这样说还太早,但自从去年12月23日接掌尼克斯以来,这支球队的巨大进步有目共睹——斯科特·雷登还是尼克斯总裁的时候,这支球队是10胜19负,与魔术、奇才等烂队混迹在东部的草根阶层,暗天无日;但在托马斯出任总裁,大刀阔斧地革故鼎新之后,尼克斯脱胎换骨,在此后的41场比赛中22胜19负,至今以32胜38负的战绩居东部季后赛第七。 照这个势头打下去,前两个赛季充当落寞季后赛看客的尼克斯本赛季昂首跨进季后赛,实现这支老牌东部强队的伟大复兴,指日可待。崇尚铁血的铁腕总裁托马斯被名正言顺地称为“纽约教父”,指日可待。 他还有一个更为伟大的梦想。“我来到纽约的目的,就是要为这里的球迷献上一尊总冠军奖杯。”托马斯的语气虽然很平静,但是他闪闪发亮的眸子里燃烧着球员时代般的激情,显然,那是对胜利、冠军与尊严的深深渴望。
