Bob was wrong to the extent that a 6’1” guy can’t be the best player on a championship team, but Isiah himself echoed a lot of what he said.

Isiah wound up making a very good case for himself.

it was exhausting kicking Celic ass..wait no it wasn't..nothing was more fun that watching Bob Ryan and Tommy Heinsohn squeel..damn I loved those days..the golden age of Detroit Sports..

The greatest Piston

He was clearly implying that Isiah didn’t know what it took to win and that he was shoot first. Isiah was playing chess all the time at least when he got older and they were right there. I get it coming off the 87 loss to Boston and the riff with AD. Bob was proven wrong.

Isiah in his own words just told you that Isiah didn’t understand what it took to win until later in his career.

Agree just don’t think it was the case in 1988. He was so close to winning it all against some of the best teams ever in 87 and 88. But I get it, he hadn’t won it all yet. Calling him most overrated player in 88 was crazy.

It wasn’t the case in 1987 either. As I said, Bob was wrong here but he wasn’t wrong about the player Isiah used to be before this.

💯

Historically it has been true, Isiah was the exception He was unstoppable at times

He was right

Amazingly, one of Bob Ryan's heroes is smaller than 6'1.....bob cousy.
