      Well I all ways though he was a phoney by him licking his lips over an over an over again but now I no he is a phoney because he did not lick his lips one time in the whole video so it is not a habit he was just faking trying to impress somebody.by showing his teeth an licking his lips over an over an over again I have waited 30 years to catch you in this lie an now I got you on tape
      It is not a habit you are just trying to make us say look how he speaks so soft an yes look how he smiles
      An yes look how he licks his lips
      An yes look how pretty his smile is
      An yes look how pretty his teeth is
      Well it seems like to me you just want us to rank every thing about you as nice but that is not who you are what you are trying to personify yourself to us is not the real you. I say that because the real you is one ruff. An tuff contender who train yourself to beat the best an you will not bag down for nothing an that is the real isiah Thomas that I love to me that is the real you am that smiling an being nice to me that is not you
      Because I no you are all about winning
      But I can say you have very pretty teeth
      An I wish my teeth look something like yours. Peace to our world
      An yes please pray hard for the Floyd family an all of us who try to love oneanother

      That was a great show I am very impress with IT basketball skills
      He do not think us fans no how great he was but he is wrong. He is a great great great basketball player an. The only weakness he had. Was the general the other isiah Thomas. He is the one that held the great isiah Thomas back from everyone that loved him. Yes the general almost destroyed everything good that the other isiah Thomas had done
      So just remember isiah Thomas we love an respect you skills as a great basketball player one of the best of all times
      But we hate that dam general that took you away from us fans
      So would you please stop bragging about the general who we the fans hate an start bragging about isiah Thomas the basketball player we love

      No one forgot. Only people who don’t like him cause Jordan said don’t like him. Same people probably not liking Pippen now because he has an opinion. Probably not liking Barkley because he gave an opinion. If MJ said he never got swept in the playoffs they’d probably believe it. If MJ said he beat Bird in a playoff series they’d probably believe it. More or less people who most likely can’t think for themselves. Love MJ game, but those people are worse than him conspiring to keep Isiah off the Olympic team (something MJ now says he regrets just as Thomas says he regrets not shaking hands). MJ stans have become some of the worse interjecting in any discussion from Bill Russell to Lebron James while ignoring a lot of facts.

    Had the honor to see Zeke put on a basketball clinic at the Magic Johnson Basketball Camp back in the early 80's. The countless dribbling drills he performed were at least 3X faster than this video. To date, I have not seen an NBA point guard exhibit his type of handle without carrying the ball. He was truly amazing. Words truly cannot describe how great his handle was. No disrespect to Chris Paul, Kyrie, or Curry but Zeke was on another level.

To “hang” the ball without sliding your entire hand under the ball is a perishable skill and difficult to execute unless you put in the time and reps. To me (I am biased), Isiah had a pure (within the frame) basketball handle to date.

    1. One necessary rule to know is to never use two hands or both hands when trying to dribble as it is known as a double dribble.
    2. Have a solid and balanced stance with your knees bent and to not stand straight up as it risks your opponent to force you backwards.
    3. Keep your eyes up to see the entire court but also slightly seeing the ball. If your eyes are straight ahead you will still be able to see beneath you and looking down will only limit vision of the court.
    4. Bounce the basketball repeatedly with one hand on one side and to actively observe what is happening around you. Remain in a triple-threat position where you can take off and move with the basketball.
    5. Make sure to have your hand above the basketball and bounce the ball by using your finger tips. Having your hands beneath the ball will result in a carry that is not allowed. Try to switch hands and use dribbling drills to improve dribbling effectiveness overall.

Only reason yall think that is because their beef was out in the open. Bird/Isiah Magic/Isiah Scottie/Isiah Malone/Isiah Barkley/Isiah were legitimate beefs
