Description

Hall of Fame point guard and legendary Detroit Piston Isiah Thomas is known in Chicago for his fierce competitiveness and bitter rivalry against Michael Jordan and the Bulls in the late 80s and early 90s. But he is also a son of the city and the way he played was unapologetically Chicago. Thomas joins Tony Gill on the Bulls Talk podcast to discuss his collaboration with Mitchell & Ness, the “OG Bad Boy Collection”. He discusses the meaning behind the “Bad Boy” moniker, his battles with the Lakers, the Celtics and the Bulls, whether he was misunderstood as a player, his connection to Chicago and his impact on future generations of point guards.3:52 - Why is the "Bad Boy" monicker so important7:50 - Issues with people not liking the "Bad Boy" style of basketball13:46 - Thomas discusses his connection to Chicago19:30 - Thomas on his battles with the Bulls and Chicago25:00 - Did the small point guard revolution start with Thomas?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
