i feel you elliot. isiah needs to come out on some roy jones, jr. “ya’ll must’ve forgot!” type stuff.

unfortunately, the younger generation who only know about isiah from his management tour in ny, will see him in a negative light.

but for those of us who saw the baby faced assassin kill doc rivers and everybody else, we know the deal.

like my man cookie from mattapan, mass used to say (he was my backcourt teammate in hs, and whenever i would start in about bernard king, he’d hit me with this with a huge smile on his face) “EYE-ZAY-AAAAAAAAAAAAAH!”

cookie if you’re out there, your man was indeed the truth. and don’t worry, your man dana barros will see some light in TPGU 2009.

Poor Doc Rivers. Isiah use to stay killin him. Check out Doc Rivers knee on the Sports Illustrated cover that says it all. I hope you will continue to post a lot more on Isiah the basketball player. I would hate to see his legacy ruined for the time he spent here in N.Y.

Ali,

Zeke always repped hard! He put The D on the map in terms of NBA ball. No matter how bad things have been for him lately, those first two titles wouldn’t be hanging up in The Palace if not for Zeke. Thanks for the trip down memory lane….

i concur wholeheartedly sport. people need to set aside his post playing career and the things that happened with the knicks for the sake of this discussion. the man was simply incredible. he was a little guy giving everybody the business. and he was so freaky and elegant and explosive and crafty with it. the bounce and swagger and killer instinct was something else. HE COULD NOT BE STOPPED!

and yes keyes, he was a great amongst the greats, playing during the game’s heyday.
