Just ask him

During the course of his interview with Thomas, the topic of Michael Jordan, Larry Bird and Magic Johnson comes up and how Thomas is looked at compared to those legends. After that, the former Knicks executive and coach goes off.

“I have no problem saying this at all,” Thomas said to Reiter. “They're all 6-(feet)-9 and Jordan was 6-6 and a half. If they were all 6-1, it wouldn't even be a question. They wouldn't even f---ing rate. If they were all my size, s---, they wouldn't even be talked about.

“I beat the s--- out of them when they were that big. If we were all the same size, f---.” He stops to laugh good-naturedly. “Make them 6-1 and let's go on the court.”
Oh Zeke

He is just mad because he doesn't get talked about as much as the other three up there.

He is the best tiny guard in NBA history.

I didn't mean it as a bad thing lol. He's the best PG outside of the likes of Magic, The Big O, but both those guys were bigger then normal PGs.

Oscar Robertson (6'5") > Isiah Thomas

I agree with this 100%, he's actually there IMO.

AI was a better scorer.
Isiah was better in every other aspect.
