    Shannon & Isiah cover the scope of Mr. Wonderful’s NBA career, from being drafted by Detroit to becoming an All-Star and leading the “Bad Boys” Pistons to back-to-back championships in 1989 & 1990. Isiah ranks the top basketball dynasties and players of the ‘80s, and goes into the dynamics of playing in the league during that era. He touches on his exclusion from the 1992 Olympic Dream Team, and the “fascination and disappointment” he felt in response to his portrayal in ‘The Last Dance.’

      This comment rings true for all of us Detroiters old enough to remember Pistons in the 80s to 90 in real time (Detroit is one place where Michael Jordan IS NOT revered and Karl Malone IS despised). Zeke himself has said on countless occasions that wherever he goes, he represents Westside Chicago and Detroit.

      @@robertsawney7901 well to be fair we have to take into account the rules and technology. IT never had a sneaker custom made just for him and his game, he never had a chamber he could go in after a game to recover faster, no nutritionist, personal trainer, or a medical staff that even compares to what Curry has in Golden State. All of this plus he was getting beat up night in and night out by NBA big men who were tryna scare him from coming in the lane. Zeke stood toe to toe with everybody he faced and beat em at least once or twice. He beat Mike, Bird, and Magic. Curry is great but him and today’s players are basically male divas and its kinda unfair to compare them to players of the past.

The biggest difference between him and the other top 5 players between 1985 to 1994 is the organization that drafted him. Georgias College and Pro Sports teams are cursed and all Native Georgians know that but Wilkins should be lauded as 1 of the top 5 players in the entire NBA between 1985 to 1994 some SOMEBODY PLEASE put some respect on this man's name!!!
