Ranking the 10 greatest Detroit Pistons players of all time
1. Isiah Thomas, PG (1981-1994)
Another lifelong Piston, Thomas won two championships in Detroit and was named the NBA Finals MVP in 1990. He made 12 All-Star appearances and finished his career as the franchise leader in many categories, including points, assists and steals. The Basketball Hall of Fame inductee had his No. 11 jersey retired by the Pistons in 1996 and was later named a member of the NBA 75th Anniversary Team.
