One topic of constant discussion among fans is who the all-time greatest player is. However, there was a degree of agreement regarding the designation of the all-time best point guard. Additionally, it appears that Isiah Thomas concurs with the assessment that places him above players like Stephen Curry and John Stockton, to mention a couple.
The legendary Detroit Pistons player noticed a recent video that was uploaded to Instagram. Dan Dakich supported Isiah Thomas’ argument in the video that he is the best point guard of all time.
“I’ll fight anybody that says Isiah Thomas isn’t the best point guard in NBA history… Nobody went through (Larry) Bird, Magic (Johnson), and (Michael) Jordan other than Isiah, twice to win an NBA title. Nobody did that.”
“Somebody said this, I think it was (Charles) Barkley said about Kyrie Irving. ‘Kyrie Irving has all of Isiah’s gifts but he doesn’t have Isiah’s absolute killer in him. And I don’t think he meant that as a criticism of Kyrie Irving. He meant more as a compliment to you. (Isiah Thomas)”

Isiah Thomas and the Detroit Pistons defeated all three of these titans in one season back in the 1988–89 NBA Playoffs. He eliminated Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls from the Eastern Conference Finals after defeating Larry Bird and the Boston Celtics in the opening round.

Is Isiah Thomas’s claim to the greatest Point Guard right?
The fact that your club was given the moniker “Bad Boy Pistons” should tell you everything about how talented Thomas could have been. Thomas’s argument for being the best point guard in the debate is strengthened by the degree of respect and admiration the three legends he defeated received.
Zeke appears to agree wholeheartedly with Dan Dakich’s perspective, as the two-time NBA champion reshared the video on social media.

NBA saw point guard Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors transform basketball through his unceasing shooting. Curry hasn’t shown any signs of slowing down, having brought four NBA titles to the Bay Area. Therefore, this interpretation may perplex many of the younger admirers.
