A Detroit Pistons legend, Isiah Thomas was one of the early members of the roster who went onto define the 'Bad Boy Pistons' era during the 1980s. The Pistons won two NBA championships in 1989 and 1990 with Thomas leading from the front but were nicknamed the 'Bad Boys' for the method of play they used.
