Recently, many fans have thought that Stephen Curry is the best point guard in history, which has also caused a lot of controversy. For Detroit Pistons legend Isaiah Thomas, it's clear that Stephen Curry won't be on Isaiah Thomas' list of the best point guards in history.
Isaiah Thomas says that from the beginning, she has encountered great point guards like Magic Johnson and Oscar Robertson. Even if they are relatively small, they have no chance of winning against a big defender like them. However, he will still find a way to try to defeat them.
Isaiah Thomas said: "I think the list starts with Magic and Oscar. We little men have no chance of winning against the Magician and the Oscars. ”
When you get the little ones right. I'm a small man. I say this because of the way I played in that era, I had to win the game in a different way and beat those guys, and I don't think any of them could do it, what I could do in my team. ”
When Isaiah Thomas played for the Detroit Pistons in the '80s, she helped the Pistons build a fearsome defense. In the '80s, they reached the finals three times in a row, winning two championships. Isaiah Thomas was once the MVP of the Finals. So, Isaiah Thomas highlighted the unique circumstances of his time and the great achievements he and his team have achieved.
"The fourth person, I love John Stockton. I love everything John did in the NBA, you have to look at the stats and be like damn it. I don't think anyone will touch his assist stats, and I don't know if anyone will get his steal record. So my four buddies – Magician, Oscar, myself, and John. ”
John Stockton spent his career with the Utah Jazz, who has the most assists in NBA history. The main reason is that he partners with an excellent interior offensive player like Karl Malone, and John Stockton's defense is also very good, and he has been selected to the All-Defensive Team five times in his career.
Isaiah Thomas spoke highly of Magic Johnson, Oscar Robertson, himself, and John Stockton. However, he didn't put Stephen Curry, the all-time leading scorer, on the list of the all-time best point guards.
Isaiah Thomas's remarks also caused dissatisfaction among many Warriors and Curry fans. Because they believe that Stephen Curry has promoted the development of the NBA with his three-point shot, and has won four championships in his career, a Finals MVP and two regular season MVPs, Stephen Curry deserves more respect.
