Yep, Mark Aguirre, his old childhood pal. Back in the Bad Boy days, he pushed Adrian Dantley out of the way so Aguirre could be his teammate. Don't let Thomas' baby face and so-called business style fool you. Thomas is from the hood in Chicago he'd cut your heart out and smile while doing it.
I saw an ESPN Classic special on Isiah Thomas and I literally fell over when I heard he grew up in Chicago in a rough neighborhood filed with gangs and violence. Looking at Thomas you'd think he grew up middle-class and suburban.
Many of us saw this coming for some time now. But the "intrigue" of Big Chief Triangle's name being tossed into the mix adds a new dimension and some tension. :D
I used to like Thomas until he showed his true colors claiming Larry Bird only got attention because he is white. Since then, he's been Idouchea to me.
