When I was 10 years old, Dream Team 1 took the court in Barcelona. To celebrate, they has collectors cups at McDonalds with all the players on them. I remember being so dismayed that there was no Isaiah. Jordan is a bitch and always has been.

naw, you just didn't watch enough Isiah Thomas basketball, Isiah was a big ol bitch. Back in the Pistons "Bad Boys" era Pistons were a tough team, but Isiah the captain was always crying about fouls and making excuses for bad performance. He was defiantly my least favorite player on that great team, just cause he was a whiny piece of shit, that could really handle the ball.

Ouch! Way to ruin a 10 year old's memory! I'm 30 now, but still 10 in my mind when I think about the Bad Boys.

I'm with ya, I was a big fan of the "bad boys" growing up, Isiah included. He may have been a giant pussy (kissing Magic at half court doesn't help his case) but he was our giant pussy and damn if he couldn't pass the ball like a wizard and he was definitely the king of the finger roll lay up. I thought he was the best in the game along with Dumars and Vinnie Johnson. I've asked astol to post some highlight reels so we can remember his awesomeness.... bitching aside.
