Isiah Thomas is my favorite player to ever touch the basketball and he was without a doubt the number 2 point guard of the 80s. He was not better than magic.

@@jonisafreak3 Isiah was better than Magic in every category except rebounding.

Magic was no way more skillful than Isiah. Isiah Thomas was faster, quicker, more athletic, a better defender, actually had a jumper that Magic didn't have and Isiah could go all 94 feet off the dribble breaking guys down. Isiah Thomas was also better playing off the ball and moving without it. Magic Johnson won more titles because he had MVPs (Haywood, Jabbar and McAdoo), scoring champions (Haywood, Jabbar and McAdoo), Rookie of the Year winners (Jabbar, McAdoo, Haywood and Wilkes), top overall picks (Jabbar, Thompson and Worthy) and Final Four MOP winners (Lee, Jabbar and Worthy). That's how loaded the Lakers were his entire career.

@@123slasher.16 Excellent breakdown. I wish I could love this.

Mine too.

Hell yeah and he was the first one in the nba with a saucy dribble to

Game six of the 88 finals, third quarter with the sprained ankle was amazing....no one could have done that!!!

Isiah was the best PG in the NBA during his run in the late 80's from 87 to 90 he was the best PG better then Magic Johnson himself. Isiah had the ability to take over a game. The Celtics, Lakers and Bulls couldn't stop him. He was smarter and always a step ahead of everybody. To beat Magic, Jordan and Bird you had to be unstoppable. They need to do a documentary on Isiah and his career because no PG in history was able to accomplish what Isiah accomplished. Magic had Kareem and Worthy. Stockton had the Mailman. Isiah had a team full of castaways but they were deep and they had an chip on there shoulder they had an identity and they became the Bad Boys. Zeke was the leader.

@@waelharp4060 if you look at the original 50 Greatest Players, only 2 never played with another member of the group, Patrick Ewing and Isiah Thomas. Thomas won a title, Ewing didn't. Thomas won back to back titles, something the majority of the group never did. Thomas won both a NCAA title and a NBA title, something the majority of the group never did. Thomas also won the Final Four MOP and NBA Finals MVP, something the majority of the group never did.

Yep

Grew up with his younger brother Kevin.

Detroit native and CMU alum, died while trying to save his wife from drowning. RIP.

But no D. After this season, Daly realized the way to get the team to the upper echelons of the league was to improve defensively without sacrificing much on the fast break. They drafted Joe D and traded for Mahorn in the off-season.

Rounds had a disappointing overall stint with Detroit though... That's why they traded him for Mahorn later on.

Yea people don't know how good Isiah was and how he used to school the Lakers, Celtics and Bulls. Isiah is a legend man he was doing that his whole career against the best.
