Isiah Thomas? NBA Career

Isiah Thomas is one of the most decorated NBA players of all time. As a five-time NBA All-Star, he led the Detroit Pistons organization to two NBA championships in 1989 and 1990. He was the leader of the infamous ?Bad Boy Pistons? squad, who played ?bully ball? as they physically knocked down players during the game to impose their dominant nature.

However back in the 1980s and 1990s, ball-checking and a number of other defensive tactics were allowed by the NBA. Hence, the NBA back in the day was a very physical sport and the professional players had to be ready to go to ?war?.

The 1980?s Detroit Pistons was one of the Jordan-led Chicago Bulls? biggest threats. Their (Pistons) desire to win combined with their physical playing style proved too much for the Bulls, who would lose to them in the NBA Playoffs.

Isiah Thomas? skillful dribbling and finishing combined with his amazing leadership skills easily makes him one of the NBA?s most impressive point guards.
