As much as a love the job Isiah's doing,Im not going to kid myself and ignore the fact that he has a reputation for being an SOB back to his days in Detroit.

Yeah,he could do better in the personality department but pretty much everyone to a man said that Layden was a really nice guy which I believe he probably was but look where that got us.

If I had a choice,Ill take the SOB who is making the right moves every time.Its not like he disrespected an LJ or a Ewing who were established vets with the Knicks or JVG.Yeah Chaney deserved better but so did we.

good post...agree w/every word of it

Reread my post. The bulls and Pistons were a heated rivalry as established Pistons were winning two rings, and the young and brash bulls were nipping at their heals. There was an allstar game and it is believed Isiah led a movement to keep the ball from Michael. Mike retaliated by lobbying, or perhaps threatening to not play dream team in Barcelona. I think the Isiah-Bird thing is over blown. In any event Isiah choose to not persue it with bird as they are both beloved in the state of Indiana and why burn bridges with no. 1 son whom presides over the pacers. Isiah might be from Chicago, but he led Indiana to a NCAA! As much as it hurt, Isiah took the high road and let it go. He landed ok in my opinion.
