The heart of the Bad Boy Pistons — two-time NBA champion whose leadership of Detroit's physical, suffocating dynasty is one of basketball's most studied winning cultures.
Isiah Thomas was the point guard, leader and heartbeat of the Detroit Pistons' "Bad Boys" dynasty that won back-to-back NBA Championships in 1989 and 1990. His combination of elite playmaking, clutch scoring and ferocious competitive spirit drove one of basketball's most intimidating teams. He averaged 18.2 points and 9.3 assists per game across his career and was named Finals MVP in 1990.
The Bad Boy Pistons dynasty he led was so physically aggressive that the NBA changed its rules specifically to curb their tactics — the "Jordan Rules" were designed against them.
