Isiah Thomas finished top 5 in MVP voting one time in his whole career

[Apprentice]

So he was fine to get there, but then too old to finish the job

CP3 wasn’t put on the Suns to be the best player, he was supposed to be a supplement to their young core they drafted

Holding that on 37 year old PG who averaged near a 20 point double double head just dumb but y’all be saying anything when it comes to basketball

Supposed to and the reality are two separate things.

Everybody talked about how great he looked when they beat the Clippers in the Western conference Finals and he was perfectly fine then next thing you know he gets to the Bucks lays an egg and now all of a sudden he's old and washed up.

Get up out of here with that

He got injured multiple times in that playoff run and was still the Suns 2nd leading scorer over their two lottery picks, against the best defensive PG in the league at 37

You’re just talking, probably never hooped in your life at any level

I really hate what basketball discourse has become right now.

 

[Sonic Boom of the South]

The Pistons, Lakers and Celtics was always stacked during Isiah time that why shine was even more impressive with what Jordan had to work with in comparison.

Yep. There you got me

What's the excuse when the Notorious Brick, Josh Smith KO'd his team down 3-1

Didn't 1 game they come back from down 18 in a game clincher in Los Angeles?

The Zeke dikkriding on this site is comedy

Especially when 99% of you cats never saw him play.you gotta be mad old to remember dukes career

Pistons beat a declining Celtics team (worst version of the Celtics in the 80’s) injured weakest lakers team of the 80’s and a young bulls team that when they got good straight up swept the pistons in convincing fashion

But but but “he beat jordan ,bird and magic!!” FOH he never beat healthy magic or bird until they were old/injured

Why ignore the bullshyt call in 88, that robbed them of the title? Lakers were declining in 89, so why celebrate the Bulls title win over the Lakers, 2 years later?

Suddenly Magic wasn't washed then

Or with an old James Worthy and rookie Vlade

Exactly. Magic had HIV swimming in his blood, yet no one takes credit away from Chicago. Yet the Pistons,.who were screwed the previous year, get discredited for finishing the job? When the Lakers were the beneficiaries of one of the all time bullshyt calls to save them in Game 6 of the 1988 Finals

I don’t rewrite history they lost

The Celtics never got past the 2nd round after 1987

Lakers went to the finals after 1989 cuz of the greatness of magic Johnson

The bulls beat a lakers team that had the 2nd most wins in the west and took out the one seed in the wcf lol @ declining

Pistons beat the lakers with magic injured for games 2-4 and Scott out for the whole series they beat the weakest versions of the Celtics and lakers

 

[GnauzBookOfRhymes]

MVP is selected by sportswriters/media and Thomas has never been a tap dancer.

How did the Celtics not get past the 2nd round, when they literally lost the 88 ECF to the Pistons?? You just type anything, I see. Kevin McHale literally gave him dap and told them to bring the title back to the East. And the Pistons beat the two time defending champion Lakers, who were for going for a 3peat. Remember Pat Riley, coining the term? Magic played most of Game 2, when he got hurt. Injuries are a part of sports. The Lakers beat Bird in the 85 Finals when he had a broken hand. You talking about the Lakers in 91, yet fail to mention how hurt James Worthy was.

I meant ‘88 that was the weakest version of the 80’s Celtics
