Isiah Thomas playoff peak is only 2nd to MJ- Bob Ryan

Even though I'm a Pistons fan I can't put him of LBJ. But would you say Isiah playoff peak is Top 5?

 

[ALMIGHTY GOD]

1-5 for mj.

Pistons should of won 4 in a row back then

 

[Jplaya2023]

Pistons should of won 4 in a row back then

They were never going to beat the 87 lakers but yes 88 89 and 90 should have been a 3 peat

The steal and the Isiah injury cost them 2 chips but it's all he say she say at this point

 

[Boonapalist]

Top 5? Hell no. Not even including MJ or LeBron there’s

Jerry West
Kareem
Hakeem
Shaq
Duncan

That’s 5 right there undisputedly better

 

[Godless Socialist CEO]

I mean Dirk, and Giannis belong in the conversation as well over Isiah

 

[Street Knowledge]

This is laughable. The bad boy pistons were more of a complimentary team than 99% of champions. It’s not like he was carrying them.

 

[DraymondT]

This a wild ass blasphemous take. Zeke playoff peak arguably not even top 5 at his own position

Magic
Oscar
Steph
Frazier

Id prob take Zeke next but KJ in Phoenix was a monster playoff peak too for PGs

I don’t think people don’t know how to comprehend lol

Exactly. IT was great but this is a wild bad take. He might not even be top-10 since 1980


Jordan
LeBron
Magic
Shaq
Duncan
Hakeem
Bird
Giannis
Durant
Wade
Kobe
Curry

Could all have a case for a higher playoff peak. Take out any two you like and IT still doesn't make top-10.

Jordan
Duncan
Bron
Shaq
Kawahi

old white man clearly said "highlight film" but people are in here talking about peaks lol

He said as a playoff performer and while I don't agree I think. Isaiah Thomas is underrated in regard and deserves more recognition.
