    The difference now and then is you could have a brawl between the Celts and Pistons over something like that AND NO ONE WOULD GET T'D UP. The nba let you settle it and move on. No fights are tolerated now so all they can do is whine.

    No one in basketball history has been as big of a douche as Isaiah Thomas. They wouldn't let him play on the Dream Team because he was such a douche.

    Unfortunately I wasn't around back then but I've always wondered if it had more to do with Isaiah and more to do with how much everyone hated Laimbeer and Isaiah just got caught up in it. I think it's safe to say that Laimbeer was hated more than Thomas was back then.

    Well Malice at The Palace is the reason that had to end. Artest and Jackson going after fans was the straw that broke the camel's back.

    They all hated the Pistons - they beefed with everyone. But, they respected Laimbeer, Salley, The Worm, and Dumars. But, as Magic Johnson said "Isaiah killed his own chances when it came to the Olympics. No one on that team wanted to play with him."

    MJ >>Lebron, MJ was not only a great offensive player but was one of the great defensive players all time.

    I would've like to see LeChoke go against Lambier, Bird of Rodeman.

    How did a thread started about a fine gentleman, athlete and great MSU ambassador like Dak turn into comments about a bunch of NBA dipsticks. This is all about Dak and one of the most prestigious awards given to a professional athlete.

    Way to ruin a thread about the outstanding character of Dak Prescott.

    Guys - I apologize- this one's on me - it was more directed at Lebrun being mad when he wasn't asked his thoughts on Jerry Jones being a teenage racist and Dak taking the high road when asked about it.

    And honestly I was just trying to make KB21 proud by derailing a thread before he could make a comment...

    Ffs, y'all...

    ...shits Neverending

    I'm so happy for Dak. He deserves this honor so much and it'll be a testament to his character forever. Can't wait to see the patch on his jersey next season.

    IMO. it is one of the most, if not THE most prestigious award, in football today. The benchmark of rare character, self discipline, commitment and dedication to sacrifice personal time is only found in a select few genuinely selfless people.
