Isia Thomas: ‘I would like to go to Barcelona Games’

The 80s and 90s were for many golden era of basketballs in NBAsLike players Michael Jordan, Larry Bird or Magic Johnson He dominated the league in which it is probably one of the best generations of players in history. They were also born at this time Detroit the Well -Bed Boys. A team that wins two rings Jordan chicago bullsPiston leaders were then Isia Thomas, NBA’s great villain,

If you are following the league this year, I ask you before.

Yes, I am following him closely.

I think this season will be happy with the team’s great game as a former piston legend.

Oh I like it. Every time the piston is going amazingly, I like to see them doing well, I like to see them. And I just love the way they are playing, how they are facing the game, how they are doing their work.

Do you prefer a team especially from the team?

Isaiah Stewart is my favorite. This reminds me of my team partner Bill Limbir in Piston. That kind of rude player of Detroit. And also Cunningham. He wants and needs all Detroit for many years.

Does it feel that ‘bad boys’ are returning to dateright?

I think so too. And, you know, don’t be afraid of anyone and they go out to leave the skin every night. And this way the game should be played. I love her and I am excited by the way I am playing the piston.

You can then say that confusion for basketball has returned to the city …

I also believe that you have to give a lot of credit to Detroit Lions. Let me go to American football for a moment, but I believe the attitude that Lions showed in this NFL season, where they were earlier at their conference, shows how Detroit is and how we have always considered ourselves in the city.

Do you think Lions have helped the piston?

He has played how Detroit teams play: As a difficult team, where we have no mercy, we defend and go completely. I think Lions, somehow, helped to remember the piston who they were and the type of culture that we had established in our time in Detroit, for both Lions and Piston.

When you were a player, I would like to ask you about your opinion about how to play in NBA. Such problems such as a lot of triple are thrown per game or the emergence of players such as Vambanyama that measure several meters are able to play as if they were the basis. What do you think of this new NBA?

Yes, about this change in NBA, I think there is one thing that will seriously consider. You talked about the appearance of Triple, and in fact, it’s the only thing that everyone speaks. All the players of today simply reduce the ball and throw triple, and everyone says, with beauty, NBA has always been a league of the scorer, people who light up. I think the problem with three -point shooting is that we see people really find and it’s not good.

Why do you think this problem exists with triple?

People will say: “Okay, three are more than two values and the number is a block to win.” Yes, but when you see professional players, you want to see them getting more shots than being unsuccessful. And I think what’s happening in our game: we are looking at more failures than successes. And, as a result, it is affecting the way the game is seen aesthetically.

How will you solve it if you can?

I will keep maximum and minimum in the amount of three -point shots that can be thrown during a game. Perhaps maximum 25 or 30 triple and minimum 10 or 15. And the coaches will decide when and how many times they have to use. This is just an example of how I will end this case.

So … do you think NBA was more entertaining to the public in his time as a player?

I think so too. it was better.

Can you see me in your current game style with your time as a player?

I would say it was better because it was more strategic. You came into the game and had different styles. My team did not play like Chicago Bulls. My team did not play as Boston Cultics. My team did not play like Los Angeles with, and vice versa. Did not play like bulls lax. Lakes did not play like Cultics. Therefore, each team had a different style, a different way of playing. And, as a result, which made the game more interesting as a strategic chess game. In each game you must be compatible with the opponent to remove it.

What do you think NBA has a current basketball problem?

Most of the strategy in the game has disappeared as mathematics has become a major factor. Now there is a similar thinking, almost automatic. All coaches, most, think only one. Another example is that most of the players currently have the same type of physicist.

The style of the game’s game is ‘mechanization’ anyhow … right?

Mathematics or analysis are good in society because it normalizes everything. However, in sports, this generalization is not always positive. Sports and art are more about creativity and imagination, things that cannot always be given. In society, you want analytics to help normalize things, but in sports and art, what you want is creativity and imagination shine.

Barcelona was one of the best memories in sports, an incomparable team. Whether you were not part of that team or could not … How did you like to not be able to play those games?

Um, okay, I definitely wanted to stay there … really I had missed being there and had the opportunity to work to represent my country and, you know what I had as a player. I supported the team. I loved to go to Barcelona.
