More brilliant Isiah testimony

[Real]

<p class="textBodyBlack"><span></span>NEW YORK - A former New York Knicks executive at the center of a sexual harassment lawsuit repeatedly complained to a friend from work that coach Isiah Thomas had berated her with foul language, according to trial testimony Tuesday.</p><p class="textBodyBlack"><span></span>&ldquo;What are your job responsibilities, you ... ho?&rdquo; Thomas, with an obscenity added for emphasis, told former vice president Anucha Browne Sanders in 2004, according to the secondhand account of her friend, Jeffrey Nix.</p><p class="textBodyBlack"><span></span>Nix, who testified Tuesday in Manhattan&rsquo;s U.S. District Court, worked for the Knicks for 15 years, including stints as a bench coach and in the front office. He said he was let go last month.</p><p class="textBodyBlack"><span></span>Nix said he recalled a number of conversations he had with Browne Sanders in 2004.</p><p class="textBodyBlack"><span></span>When another executive left the room during a meeting to make a phone call, Thomas reminded Browne in obscene language that he was the president of the team.</p><p class="textBodyBlack"><span></span>After a Dec. 29, 2004 Knicks victory, Nix said he saw Thomas embrace Browne Sanders. She later told her friend that Thomas had stated: &ldquo;I&rsquo;m in love with you.&rdquo;</p>

On the tape, Thomas also said that he would find it more offensive if a white male called a black female a &ldquo;bitch,&rdquo; than if a black male used the same term when speaking to a black female.</p>
