Isiah Thomas overdosed on sleeping pills

All Isiah Thomas wanted was a good nights sleep. 

The former NBA star was hospitalized for overdosing on sleeping pills.  According to MSNBC, he was unconscious when medical workers transported him to the hospital. 

Last season he was fired as head coach for the New York Nicks after he was found guilty of sexually harassing a former employee. 

Maybe he took the sleeping pills so he can escape his problems, or maybe he took the pills because he was tired and he wanted to sleep…forever.
