  • Detroit Pistons legend Isiah Thomas joins the First Take crew and shares a laugh at the expense of Stephen A. Smith, who left Magic Johnson off his Stephen’s A-List of his all-time NBA All-Star team. Thomas says Stephen A. is used to the friendly, nice Magic - but last night he met Earvin. Thomas details Magic’s intelligence and skills on the floor, and says LeBron James is the closest to being a contemporary Magic Johnson.

      That's my only problem with what Isiah said. It's a partnership. Both the coaches and the greats build their resume together. Chuck daly definitely wouldn't be a HoF coach w/o the badboys(Isiah-Joe-Dennis-Agguire etc) or pat w/o Kareem&Magic etc etc
      Hell, Red auebach had MvP candidite Bob cousy pre-russell and even he couldn't get over the hump. Case in point, it's a *partnership.*

Helped influence the trade of Kent Benson & Kelly Tripuka for Andrian Dantley. So it was Isiah who helped form the team. Isiah could have been a much more proficient scorer but he sacrificed that to be a total team player. No body ever in the NBA could handle the ball like Isiah. Impossible to take the ball from him.

      Wilt played in a different time where stats were inflated. Im not too gullible to believe Wilt could do that in the modern NBA. Dont forget Wilt, 6'8 Bill Russell, Nate Thurmond, Elgin Baylor, Jerry Lucas, Walt Bellamy, Bob Pettit, Wes Unseld. All had 20 reb seasons. All of them did it in the 1950s-60s. How many modern NBA players averaged above 17 rebs? 2, Dennis Rodman and Moses Malone. You expect me to believe that in 50 years no player has had a 20 reb season when like 8 guys in the 60s were doing it on the regular? Sounds like some bull to me. Those guys definitely wouldnt be able do that now a days. Thats why 1975 is the cut off from inflated numbers to real competition. People had to be missing a lot back in the day and not defending rebs
