Isiah Thomas the forgotten Susperstar

[MostReal]

My favorite PG of all time. IMO Rondo embodies alot of his mental qualities today. This little guy stood up to the towers of the NBA which is why he is so hated. This is the only one who made it to the top of the heap battling against the likes of Bird, Magic, & Jordan. Barkley, Wilkins, Ewing all faltered. Isiah Thomas beat all of these guys...& did it twice just to let you know it wasn't a fluke.

I honestly think Isiah Thomas' competitive nature molded Jordan into the 'winner' he is today...if it wasn't for Thomas & the Pistions Jordan would not have had the fortitude & skill to continually beat the Knicks teams of the 90's.

Only instance I can think of where a guys career as a GM and Coach actually kind of diminished how people saw him as a player.

sad but true.

He still a for what he did on the court though

Just think of a lil PG like a Rondo or Rose leading a team to the finals and beating Kobe, Lebron, Durant etc. That's cray in today's time

[mastermind]

The last minute is pretty much what prevented Isiah from The OG Dream Team. DET/CHI might be one of the most slept on rivalries in NBA history too

Interesting to think that during that era people questioned whether MJ had what it took to get over the hump.

who forgot about isiah thomas tho

He is highly slept on as a player. People talk about the great players and skip him a lot in convo. Dude was pit bull and didn't back down from nobody. Quickness and handles was on some next level shyt back in those days. His jumper was nice, very good defender on PGs. No weakness in his game.

you know whats a slept on rivalry, at least to people our age, Sixers/Celtics.

An even more slept on rivalry, Lakers/Sixers.

 

[dabestkeptsecret]

i dont think isiah will be forgotten by our generation more likely our kids will have no idea what he did while mike, bird, and magic will still be house hold names

He's not forgotten at all, but 90% of the time I hear people talk about him it's about how horrible of a GM he was for the Knicks.
