In his 13 NBA seasons with the Pistons, Isiah Thomas had a Hall of Fame career and led the Pistons to back-to-back titles in 1989-90, earning the Finals MVP in 1990. He serves as an analyst with NBA TV and TNT and was an executive with the Toronto Raptors and New York Knicks.
Thomas spoke with The News' Rod Beard about the current state of the Pistons' franchise and their rebuild, star players Blake Griffin and Derrick Rose and how his Bad Boys teams are remembered.
