You stay classy, Isiah.....
Isiah Thomas, still a dick.
Here ripping the always entertaining and insightful NBA analyst, former NCAA champ, as well as longtime NBA point and reportedly good guy Greg Anthony. Renaldo Blackman's upside is a 10 point and 5 rebound guy who has all the....uh....intangibles. By contrast, Danny Ainge got Rajon Ronda at #21 (the VERY NEXT PICK), and Rondo will almost undoubtably appear in the rookie/sophomore game All Star weekend and have a good to great career in the league. Although we all know that exhibition success doesn't always lead to stardom (C's fans may recall Brad Lohaus).
Got, I dislike intensely this Mr. Thomas. He killed off the CBA, held back the Pacers for years, ripped the greatest forward of all time (apparently he was both sneering and laughing when he dissed Bird after that particular Game 7). Not a stand up guy, and from what I've read over the years, his skull can barely contain his ego.
It certainly was a great story: Awesomely talented, tiny point guard from the mean streets of Chicago's South Side makes good due to a loving mother and (some) supportive siblings.
But at this point in the game, as Bill Parcells always says, "You are what you are."
And Isiah is a HOF player who has been a complete and total disaster during his career in management. It's that simple.
