Just never made sense to me why zeke is not a top ten player

[PWB15]

The only player to beat Bird, Magic, and Jordan in a five year span and lead his team to a repeat. Plus Bird and Duncan never repeated and they top ten?

[sdot_thadon]

I feel like he never got a fair shake after his playing career ended. Always had suspicion that being left off the dream team as well as being the most beloved player ever's arch enemy had a catastrophic impact on his legacy. I gotta give it up to him for being a good sport about the whole situation and being a pretty visible ambassador for the league through TV all these years despite the disrespect.

Don't ever cross MJ - Isiah instructed his teammates to physically hurt MJ, but MJ had the last laugh

[SouBeachTalents]

Not even going to get into the retarded title, but that talking point about beating Bird/Magic/Jordan is not only ridiculous, it's not even accurate. The Pistons beat Bird once, and the one time they beat Magic he missed most of the series. And this shit isn't tennis, the Pistons beat the Bulls 3x with Isiah having the much better supporting cast and Jordan outplaying him h2h every series.

Top 10 :roll: :roll: :roll:

Well you are giving Zeke credit for "beating" Jordan, Bird, and Magic. In reality it was Bill Laimbeer that beat Jordan and Bird through his physical play along with Mahorn and Rodman. Zeke had a short career and while he was a great playmaker he was the fourth best scorer on those Pistons teams (Dantely, Aguirre, Dumars), which is why he never won an MVP. In reality when you look at PG as a position Thomas is fringe top ten. You can make the argument that the Dream Team was right in selecting Stockton and Magic over him because he was the third best PG of his era.

PG field, Archibald, Cousy, CPIII, Curry, Frazier, Irving, Kidd, Magic, Nash, Oscar, Parker, Payton, Stockton, Thomas, Westbrook

In reality the Pistons much like the 70's Knicks should have five Hall of Famers not three with Aguirre, and Laimbeer in the hall but politics is really keeping them out and gassing up Thomas.

He didn't beat Magic.

Magic got injured 1 and 1/2 games into the series and the Lakers starting SG never played due to injury.

The fvck is this :lol

[FilmyCogTurner]

Not factoring team records against each other Zeke did feel like he was right there with Magic, Bird and MJ although definitely a shade under but he had game and the cache. Had he not been such a prick he could easily been the 4th guy.
