Perspective: The Michael Jordan-Isiah Thomas beef sizzles on 'The Last Dance.' Here’s a case for Zeke.
During the 2004 NBA Finals, I started an argument about Isiah Thomas that lasted an entire afternoon. We were in Los Angeles for the Lakers-Pistons series — the last days of the Shaquille O’Neal-Kobe Bryant era — and on an off day, I declared Thomas to be a top 20 player all time. Period. Didn’t want to hear anything else.
“You’re letting your dislike of him distort how great he really was,” I kept repeating. I must’ve said it a thousand times that day. Thomas wasn’t just a Bad Boy. He was a bad boy all by himself, an indisputable legend who, sadly, can’t get out of his own way.His many controversies and his antagonistic role in Detroit’s fierce rivalry with Michael Jordan’s Chicago Bulls have diminished his greatness. That’s incredibly disappointing.
