Just watched the 30 for 30.

Where does he rank in your PG rankings?

Where does he rank in your piece of shite rankings?

He is pretty much near the top in the terrible coach/executive rankings

Pretty fricking high after the comments about playing bad if he didn't like you.


Along with Jalen Rose and Doug Collins.

I can't believe a coach agreed with that.

ETA: forgot that Thomas coached too. Horrible.

I always said back in the day I would rather have Zeke running my team than Stockton. I still stick by that.

Frick MJ. He was equally as shitty of a person, just had a better marketing team so he was able to dupe the sporting world into thinking he was some god.

I take Thomas over just about anyone outside of Magic.
Don't care what happened it was awful he wasn't on the olympic team.

He was not a great PG he was above average.

He is a classless individual.

You can dislike him, I see that, but not calling him a great point guard is ridiculous. Who you got? Magic, Oscar Robertson, Stockton? I can see that but Thomas has to be in this group or next in line.

Lenny Wilkins
Gary Payton
Cousy
Kidd


I put Isiah and Archibald in same category. Maybe my bias is strong but I just did not think he was an elite PG. He was an elite competitor, but he wasn't as great as the 7 you and I listed.

Who do you take off that team, of the pros?

He was on the 94 WC team but was hurt so could not play.

OMG. That press conference with Bird and Isaiah, when both were sitting and the table. Isiah starting talking, and someone started playing that tape with Isiah comments about Bird. Then they show a close up of Isiah's face. How awkward was that?

Somewhere in the top 5, but Magic and Chris Paul easily take the top 2 spots.

Then you have guys like Kidd and Gary Payton and Thomas.

I don't really know about anyone from earlier than the 1980's, but IMO Isiah is top four since then. Magic is #1, then I think you have Isiah, Stockton, and Chris Paul in some order.

Nash, Kidd, and Payton are also excellent, but one step below.
