Pistons Legend Given High All-Time Ranking Despite Being 'Overlooked'
Pistons Legend Given High All-Time Ranking Despite Being 'Overlooked' originally appeared on Athlon Sports. With the NBA offseason in full swing as the Summer League has kicked off and teams still looking at the free agent and trade markets to upgrade their roster, it has allowed the media to once again dive into one of the most heated debates in sports. Advertisement That would be the greatest players in NBA history list as Bleacher Report's NBA staff released their top 100 all-time list on Monday. NBA great Isiah ThomasKyle Terada-Imagn Images Among the players who made the list was Detroit Pistons legend Isiah Thomas, for obvious reasons. Bleacher Report ranked Thomas No. 27 on the all-time list and mentioned how he could be higher due to how overlooked he has been. 'Isiah Thomas is the player most often considered the overlooked greatest-of-all-time point guard,' Bleacher Report's NBA staff wrote. 'Thomas was the face of the Bad Boys Detroit Pistons, the nucleus of players who actually served as a Michael Jordan foil. That carries weight.' Advertisement Of course, Thomas is overlooked by many players, especially at the point guard position, like both Magic Johnson and Stephen Curry, both of whom were ahead of him on Bleacher Report's list. Despite this, there is no doubt that Thomas is one of the greatest point guards the NBA has ever seen and he is also one of, if not, the best Pistons player of all time. Detroit Pistons guard Isiah Thomas (11)MPS-Imagn Images During his 13 seasons, all of which came in Detroit, Thomas won two championships, one Finals MVP and was also a 12-time All-Star and five-time All-NBA selection. Thomas and the Bad Boy Pistons were also known for their toughness and they were one of the only teams to challenge Jordan and the Bulls during their heyday. Advertisement Despite this, Thomas is still overshadowed by the other great point guards in league history, along with Jordan and Scottie Pippen due to the era that he played in, though he is one of the best guards in league history due to his skillset on the court. This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jul 15, 2025, where it first appeared.

"In my mind I'm saying, 'There's no way that guy just did that'" - Joe Dumars admits he fanboyed over Michael Jordan during their matchups
"In my mind I'm saying, 'There's no way that guy just did that'" - Joe Dumars admits he fanboyed over Michael Jordan during their matchups originally appeared on Basketball Network. For all the bruises, elbows and brutal playoff exits, Joe Dumars still couldn't help but be in awe of Michael Jordan. And it wasn't the kind of admiration one casually held from a distance; it was the kind that bubbled up even in the middle of battle, while the cameras were rolling and the stakes couldn't be higher. Advertisement Dumars, the silent assassin of the Detroit Pistons Bad Boys era, had the unenviable task of guarding Jordan during some of the most physically intense playoff series of the late '80s and early '90s. Jordan's aura Through all the tough talk and tougher defense, watching the man climb the rafters on dunks and elevate on jumpers with unshakable conviction, Dumars still found himself marveling at the greatness of the Chicago Bulls superstar. "I can tell you, many of nights, I ran back down the courts after he's done something incredible and internally, I'm saying, 'Are you 'effin kidding me?" Dumars recalled. "In my mind, I'm running stoic, nothing on my face. But in my mind I'm saying, 'There's no way that guy just did that." Advertisement That wasn't an isolated feeling. Those were real-time reactions from a man whose job was to make Jordan's life as difficult as humanly possible. Detroit didn't just beat Chicago back then, it imposed its will. For three straight years, from 1988 to 1990, the Pistons shut the door on Jordan's championship aspirations, eliminating the Bulls in the playoffs with a style of play that became known as the Jordan Rules. Dumars, often tasked with checking the Bulls superstar, never let the challenge harden into arrogance. The respect stayed intact. Even after beating and bruising Jordan, he was always amazed at his ability on the court. By the time the Pistons swept the Bulls in the 1990 Eastern Conference finals, they had mastered the art of disruption. Isolate Jordan. Force the others to beat you. Foul him hard if he dared enter the lane. That was the formula. And yet, even as the plan worked, Dumars was bearing witness to moments that seemed to bend the laws of logic. MJ was averaging over 30 points per game during those years. In that 1990 series alone, he dropped 31.2 points per contest, despite being swarmed, shoved and shadowed on every possession. Dumars was the rare defender who could match Jordan's footwork and balance, but not even he could account for the sheer brilliance that often unfolded. Advertisement Related: "It wasn't as serious a thing as people thought" - Michael Jordan says rumors he recruited Charles Barkley to the Wizards in 2001 were way overblown Mutual respect It was never about backing down. The Pistons were built on pride, pain and pushing limits. Isiah Thomas, Bill Laimbeer and Dennis Rodman all brought something different to the storm. But Dumars brought something else, a calmness amid chaos and a reverence for the game that never left, even while delivering it the hardest hits. In the aftermath of their reign, Jordan's Bulls would eventually sweep the Pistons in 1991, a series infamous for Detroit's walk-off before the final buzzer. But Dumars wasn't among those who let bitterness cloud legacy. He was different. He competed, but also appreciated. Advertisement The media might have painted that there was animosity between Jordan and the Pistons, and it looked that way on the court. However, some of the Bad Boys, like Dumars, still held the face of the NBA in high regard. "I always gave him that respect," Dumars said. "I always showed him tremendous respect and he showed me respect and so it was mutual." Over the years, Jordan himself singled out Dumars as the one of the toughest defenders he ever faced. That was a statement grounded in the many nights they went at each other in the postseason. Dumars didn't trash-talk. He didn't cheap shot. He simply made Jordan work — and that effort bred a mutual respect that outlasted the bruises. Long after their careers wound down, Dumars, like Jordan, took his talents off the hardwood and into NBA front offices. As an executive, he helped construct a title-winning Pistons team in 2004, one that echoed many of the same defensive-first principles of his playing days.

Will Smith throws shade, references controversial Chris Rock Oscars slap in new freestyle
Despite having apologized and addressed the controversial 2022 Oscars moment, Smith's latest freestyle takes a less contrite tone. In 2022, the biggest story in entertainment was Will Smith slapping Chris Rock in retaliation for jokes that Rock got off at the expense of Smith's wife, Jada Pinkett-Smith, as host of the 94th Academy Awards ceremony. Smith walked on stage, slapped Rock, and returned to his seat before telling him to keep his wife's name out of his mouth. Smith would later apologize to Rock and his family, and Rock would eventually speak about it as well, but nothing was ever the same for either man. At the time, Smith showed contrition for his act, but the Academy punished him with a 10-year ban from the Oscars. The Hollywood star was, though, allowed to stay at the ceremony that evening, eventually taking home the coveted 'Best Actor' award for his role as Venus and Serena Williams' father in the film 'King Richard.' In the years since, Rock has been mostly silent about it all (though his brother Tony Rock hasn't), addressing it in a Netflix special 'Selective Outrage,' and Smith has slowly but surely navigated his way back into mainstream appeal, including his enduring role as Mike Lowery in the blockbuster film, 'Bad Boys For Life,' part of the 'Bad Boys' franchise with Martin Lawrence. In March 2025, Smith even released a new album (his first in 20 years) titled 'Based on a True Story.' Smith just launched his first solo headline tour in support of the project, which mostly hits cities across Europe. While promoting the tour, he stopped by Charlie Sloth's show and dropped a freestyle in his 'Fire In The Booth' series. He had some…interesting things to say about the now, three-year-old incident. 'Now I'm not the type of man to move in malicious ways, and I am too grown to play childish games / If you talking crazy out your face up on the stage and disrespect me on the stage, expect me on the stage / Jokers dish it out, cry out when it's time to take it, City full of real ones wasn't raised to fake it.' Smith never says Rock's name over the course of his 'freestyle'– which should be a song called 'The Illest'– but the not-so-subliminal shots aimed at Chris Rock are noticeable. Even if they aren't directed toward Rock, they surely sound like they are, and in hip-hop (and ego), that's all that matters. Especially considering that Smith has, again, shown contrition publicly. Maybe things have changed in the world of Will Smith, and those early apologies have given way to new information and/or feelings about what's happened. Maybe he's just letting the world know that kind of kid comes from West Philadelphia, where he was born and raised. Or maybe he's just drumming up publicity. Who knows? What we do know is that this latest freestyle at the very least fanned whatever remaining flames were simmering of an incident that changed the trajectory of two of America's most famous men. Guess we'll have to see what happens from must-reads: Nelly refutes narrative that he's 'Pro-Trump' because he performed at President Trump's inauguration Zohran Mamdani's mom, Mira Nair, directed a Denzel Washington film—'Mississippi Masala' Brandy and Monica reveal what inspired hit song 'The Boy Is Mine'
