Isaiah? Thomas: Got a baby face and always had a smile. He was born in a slum west of Chicago, the youngest of nine children. He led the varsity team to a statewide championship in high school. After attending Indiana University, he studied at the famous coach Bobby? Under Knight's tutelage, he improved rapidly, averaging 14.6 points and 5.5 assists per game in his first year. In 1978, he became a member of the U.S. collegiate team that won the basketball gold medal at the Pan American Games, and in 1980, he was selected for the U.S. men's basketball Olympic team, but failed to win the Olympic gold medal due to the U.S. boycott of the Moscow Olympics. A 19-year-old sophomore, Thomas (16.0 points, 5.8 assists per game) led the Indianas to the 1981 NCAA championship. Isaiah? After Thomas won the NCAA, he gave up the last two years of his studies to compete in the 1981 NBA Draft. The Pistons in 1980-81 were the second-worst team in the league at 21-61. Detroit is one of the few teams where no player averages more than 20 points per game. The team drafted Isaiah with the second pick in the first round? Thomas, the champion show is Mark from DePaul University? A childhood friend of Aguilli Thomas, who later became his teammate. In the 1981-82 season, in the center Bill? Ranbier and rookie forward Kelly? With Tripka's help, the Pistons' winning record improved by 18 games and placed them in third place in the Central Division. Thomas averaged 17.0 points, 7.8 assists and 150 steals per game in his first year, successfully qualified for the starting point guard position, and led the team in assists and steals. He was selected to the NBA Rookie First Team that year and played in the NBA All-Star Game for the first time in 12 consecutive years. The 20-year-old rookie started the game, scoring 12 points and diching out four assists to a 120-118 victory for the Eastern Conference Stars at the United Airlines Center in New Jersey. In 1982-83, Thomas led the team in assists, steals and playing time, while averaging 22.9 points per game was the second-highest on the team and the highest of his career. However, as far as the team is concerned, the Pistons have not improved in the standings, with 37 wins and 45 losses. With a lot of offensive duty on the Pistons, Thomas averaged more than 20 points per game from 1982-83 to 1986-87. In 1984-85, he averaged 13.9 assists per game, the NBA's record for assists per season at the time, until Stockton broke the record with 14.5 assists per game in 1989-90. He was named to the NBA First Team for three years, from 1983-84 to 1985-86. In 1984 and 1986, he was named the Most Valuable Player of the All-Star Game, where he dished out 15 and 10 assists, respectively. When Chuck? When Daley became the team's head coach in 1983-84, the Pistons were once again a playoff team. They were in obscurity for the first three years of Daley's tenure, losing to the New York Knicks, Boston Celtics and Atlanta Hawks in the early rounds. But by 1987, Detroit was just one game away from reaching the NBA Finals. In those days, the Eastern Conference finals against the Celtics were one of the roughest games. Off-court, everyone exposed each other's ugliness, and elbows and curses were incessant on the hardwood court. The experience was painful for Thomas. With 5 seconds left in Game 5, Larry? Bird steals a pass from Thomas to the inside and assists Dennis? Johnson made a layup that gave the Boston Celtics a 108-107 victory. The battle peaked in Game 7, but after 48 minutes of fighting, the Bostonians survived with a score of 117-114. The Pistons had one of the strongest lineups in the league at that time - Isaiah? Thomas, Bill? Ranbir, Pooh? Johnson, Adrian? Dantley, Rick? Mahon, Dennis? Rodman and Joe? Dumas. In the 1987-88 season, with Thomas in his prime, Detroit seemed poised to overtake the Atlanta Hawks and Milwaukee Bucks as the division champions. The Pistons won the challenge, and that year they finished in first place with a 54-28 record. Thomas' stats have dropped slightly (19.5 points per game and 8.4 assists per game), but that's because he's part of a perfect team with few weaknesses. He is able to concentrate and help each player bring out their talents. The Pistons reached the NBA Finals for the first time since moving from Fort Wayne to Detroit in 1958. Similar to last season's series defeat to the Celtics, they once again lost disappointing to the Los Angeles Lakers, the reigning NBA champion, after seven games (the first game began, "The Assassin" and his friend "Magic" Johnson exchanged the first kiss in NBA history on the court). After leading the series 3-2, the Pistons lost 103-102 in Game 6, and despite an ankle injury, Thomas made six steals in the game, a Finals record, and 25 points in a single quarter also set an NBA Finals record. In the end, the Los Angeles Lakers relied on James in Game 7? Worthy's triple-double earned the victory, with the score at 108-105. In the 1988-89 season, the Pistons led the league with a 63-19 record. The Pistons traded Dantley for Thomas's good friend from the Dallas Mavericks in the middle of the season. Aguilli, the trade, despite its controversy, has added to the Pistons' offensive firepower. Seven Pistons are averaging more than 13.5 points per game, thanks to Thomas' selfless and intelligent playmaking. The bad boys managed to break through the playoff hurdles, sweeping the Celtics in three games and the Bucks in four games to reach the Eastern Conference Finals against the Chicago Bulls. Despite the Bulls' Michael? Jordan played well, and the Detroit still ended the battle after six games and met the Lakers in the NBA Finals. The Lakers, despite dominating the league for the past decade, are ill-prepared for this series: 42-year-old Karim? Abdul-Jabbar is inefficient, while the two defenders "Magic" Johnson and Byron? Scott has been affected by hamstring injuries. The unstoppable Pistons swept the Lakers to claim their first NBA championship in history. Midway through the 1989-90 season, they went on a 25-1 shockwave and ended the regular season with a 59-23 run. He averaged 27.6 points and 7.0 assists per game against the Portland Trail Blazers. They went on to win the NBA championship again, becoming the first team to win two consecutive championships since the Celtics in 1968-69 and the sixth team in history to do so. Thomas was awarded the title of MVP of the Grand Finals. In the 990-91 season, the Chicago Bulls, who had the Flyer Jordan, took the regular season division championship. In the playoffs, Thomas was affected by a sprained foot, a thigh muscle strain, and a wrist injury, and his form was no longer what he used to be. The Pistons dynasty came to an end, and the Bulls dynasty began with their sweep of the Pistons in the Eastern Conference Finals. Towards the end of his career, Thomas was plagued by injuries, and the aging Pistons were increasingly overshadowed by Jordan and the Bulls. By the 1993-94 season, the 32-year-old Thomas was nearing the end of his career. That season he was affected by knee overextension, broken ribs, arch sprains, calf injuries and a cut on his left hand. In his final home game against the Orlando Magic, he ripped his Achilles tendon and his career ended. Thomas scored 18,822 points (19.2 points per game), 9,061 assists (9.3 per game) and 1,861 steals in 979 career games — all three of which are Pistons records. He shot 45.2 percent from the field and 75.9 percent from the free-throw line. Is he still the successor to "Magic" Johnson and Oscar? Robertson and John of the Utah Jazz? After Stockton, Thomas became the fourth player in NBA history to surpass 9,000 assists. During his 13 years with the Detroit Pistons, he became the franchise's all-time No. 1 in points, assists, steals and appearances. He was named to the All-Star Game and was named the NBA Finals Most Valuable Player in 1990. In the 1996-97 season, Thomas became one of the All-NBA All-NBA Team members for the 50th anniversary.
Bob? Cousy: Born on August 9, 1928, 1.85 meters tall, 6 NBA championships, 1 NBA MVP of the year, 2 All-Star Game MVPs, and 10 NBA All-NBA All-NBA selections, he has set a model and example for future generations of basketball players. In 1970, he was inducted into the American Basketball Celebrity in 1989 and served as president of the highest honor institution in basketball, named after the Naismith Museum, the father of basketball. Bob? Cousy, the main point guard in the glory days of the Celtics, is known as the originator of point guards. As a ball handler and passer, Cousy is always ahead of the clock. At the Boston Dynasty, he was in charge of the team's offense, while Bill Russell was in charge of the defense. It was Cousy who made basketball more enjoyable. Born in New York City, Coussi was shown to be a basketball talent in high school. Due to his poor background, he was removed from the middle school basketball team twice. At the age of 13, he fell from a tree and broke his right arm, so he used his left hand to dribble, pass and shoot. When he recovered from his injury, he was able to shoot left and right, and his ball skills increased greatly. Varsity coach Grimmud once saw Cousy playing, and immediately called him back to the varsity team. The varsity team lacked a well-rounded defender, and Cousy embraced the position with ease, and from then on, he stood out and a new star was born. As a teenager, Cousy used never-before-seen techniques and moves to defeat his opponents, and for a time it became a topic of conversation in New York. In 1946, at the end of the obscurantist era of basketball, Cousey entered Hawley University and brought a breeze of basketball technology revolution to college basketball, but the college coach thought that Coussy's moves were too fancy and limited his playing time, even so, Cousey led Hawley University to the national championship in his first year and was named the All-American College Team. In 1950, Coosey participated in the NBA draft, but even "Cardinal" Albuck was dismissive of him: "I want players who can win, not grandstand." Cousy was drafted by the Hawks in the first round and traded to the Chicago Bucks, who were drawn to the Celtics due to the Bucks' collapse. Walter, the owner of the Celtics at the time? Brown tried to draw the scoring champion Zasrovski, but when he opened the note, he saw Kutsy's name: "I was going to faint on the floor." At first, Albuck still limited Cousy's playing time, but gold always had to shine, and Cousy quickly showed his worth. His performance led to a huge increase in attendance at the Boston Garden Coliseum. From 1952 to 1961, he was named to the NBA All-NBA Team as a playmaker for 10 years, won 6 NBA championships, won 1 NBA MVP of the Year award, ranked first in assists for 8 seasons, was selected to the NBA All-Star Team 10 times, and was named the Most Valuable Player of the All-Star Game twice. He is recognized as the "heart and soul" of the Celtics' "Green Dynasty". Many of Cussi's moves were made into movies and used as teaching materials and demonstrations for basketball training. Cousy was the first player to add an artistic element to the game of basketball. As the NBA celebrated its 25th and 35th anniversaries, Cousy was voted the greatest star of his time. Now 50 years after the NBA, his name still shines brightly, and he has once again been voted the greatest star of all time. His name will forever be engraved as a milestone in the development of the game of basketball. Compared to several other perverse living treasures, the personality of the "point guard" is not reflected in the mouth or off-court life, but Cousy's alternative light on the court has shrouded an era and deeply shocked the entire league and the basketball game. If Coussi hadn't broken his right arm at the age of 13, perhaps he wouldn't have been so adept at alternating between left and right hand dribbling. However, the injury was an opportunity for him to improve his left hand, and by the time his right arm recovered, Cussi had grown into an all-round superman with left and right bows. Cousy, who is beyond the ordinary, began to try something "deviant", and his out-of-the-time technical moves such as crotch dribbling and back-to-back passing quickly shocked the whole league, and despite the old-fashioned coach who regarded him as a beast, the stubborn Cousy did not give in, and he still insisted on his unique performance style. With Auerbach in power and Russell in place, Cousy has become more and more at home, and his eight consecutive assists titles and six championship trophies have proven that Coussy's performances and victories can be combined. From then on, the boring and mechanical basketball game began to pay more and more attention to the performance element, and eventually formed the situation where a hundred flowers bloomed later. In this sense, Cousy is also the "personality ancestor" of the entire NBA.
