Isiah Thomas is one of the most fearless point guards to ever hit the professional hardwood. His Bad Boy Pistons' teams were able to keep a young Michael Jordan at bay during the earlier parts of his career. Thomas was drafted second overall in the 1981 NBA Draft by the Detroit Pistons after winning an NCAA title with Indiana. Isiah Thomas spent his entire thirteen-year playing career with the Pistons franchise.
Thomas' elite basketball IQ and defensive prowess earned him twelve NBA All-Star honors and two NBA Championships which took place back-to-back years in 1989 and 1990. Since his exit from playing in the NBA, Thomas has gone on to become a broadcaster and NBA head coach for the Indiana Pacers and New York Knicks. Thomas later went on to coach collegiately but is no longer in the coaching realm but could find himself back in the league in no time.
