Open Court "Isiah Thomas His Issues with Scottie Pippen"

We looked at the 1990s, like we did when talking about the 1990s, what did you say about the dream team? I was so it was wrong that Shack and I didn't own the dream team. It was bad and I still represent and still think about the dream team. It could be the number one dream team and I don't care who liked it. What did you get into in 1995 when you came to this league? Wow, you know, I think the league was obviously post-Jordan. Jordan had retired for the first time. and the legends of the '80s who played a little bit into the '90s, we retired and they had just left the magic of a previous fuse in Detroit, so the league was maybe in a kind of transition like Shaquille was.

Emerging, you know, Virgil, I already emerged, the first one was in transition and the younger guys were emerging as a new star, as there are new pillars of the league. Shaq, although he had already emerged and the interesting thing about this when we talk about the '90s. You guys played against all these guys that are up for consideration here, so 3d, who would be your '90s team if you had to limit it to five and Now are they your best five or are they five per position? and be careful how you answer that number files, but Manson, a no-brainer, a no-brainer, just checking the power forward, put these hands on the car, Malone, you've seen the points, they go together, remember to protect, obviously, you won't give away to my shipowner that I'm going with.

John Stockton Oh Lord my mighty star Hello Stockton, Jordan Malone and Shaq and then my small forward or Dominic Wilkins just to give him some love in the 90's I know in the 90's he was still giving us buckets now. It may not be, but that's what I do. I go with that, I go there in the 90s, I would know that I wouldn't do it in the 90s. I would go and I know how to master something that killed Scotty. No, I know I had six fantastic years, but I don't think so. I didn't win and I didn't know that we are judged, as Reggie said before, to be in the postseason.

I didn't have great success in the '90s and in the postseason, so you know, if that's part of the criteria, then this guy. He gets it, but the head-to-head numbers were very similar, except you averaged more points, rebounds, an assistant, he just recognized who he really is, who's really hiding here because when Jordan was retiring and Grant Hill. was coming into the league we were talking about passing the mantle to grow up yeah you were so it's not like you ever had
