"Thomas Edwin "Tom" Workman" is an American former professional basketball player. He played in both the National Basketball Association/NBA and American Basketball Association/ABA between 1967 and 1971.

During his college career at Seattle University from 1964 to 1967, Workman scored 1,497 points. He holds career averages of 19.2 points and 8.4 rebounds per game in his three seasons. During his sophomore season in 1965–66, Workman played a large role in Seattle upsetting 1965–66 Texas Western Miners basketball team/Texas Western, 74 to 72, as their only loss of a national championship-winning season. He was twice named a First Team All-West Coast Conference player before being selected in the 1967 NBA draft as the eighth overall pick by the St. Louis Hawks.

He said poor people eat crummy food, they live in crummy houses and drive crummy cars, so why shouldn't they have crummy lawyers? The guy is a knucklehead. But at least he was willing to say out loud what many people think.

He's improved so much since his freshman year. He's hit a lot of balls, and he's also used his intelligence to improve. He's said, 'This is what I need to improve on, this is what I need to work on.' And I think he still has his best golf ahead of him. It may even be a few years down the road.

At the end of the year he really caught fire, and then in the sectional he really got on a roll. I think he was pretty eager to pick up the clubs again.

They were intense and physical like they always were.

I don't remember a white player starting against us in five games we had with them.

There's nothing like living it or experiencing it. He knows all about it now. Now he can use that to relax and not put pressure on himself.
