NBA Hall of Famer Isiah Thomas, commonly called "Zeke" by his former teammates, led the Detroit Pistons to two consecutive NBA titles in 1988-89 and '89-90 and was named Finals MVP in the latter. An unstoppable floor general and fantastic scorer, Thomas was one of the slightest players in the league during his 13-year NBA career at 6' 1" 180 lbs. Despite his stature, Thomas was electrifying on the court as he poured in 18,882 points and 9,061 assists in his career while served as team captain and key catalyst for the "Bad Boys" of Motown.
This lot features Thomas's 1989-90 game-worn Detroit Pistons road uniform from their back-to-back championship season. The MacGregor Sand Knit size 40 mesh jersey, showing light use, includes screened-on identifiers ("PISTONS" and "11"). Three different labels are sewn on to the left front tail: "89" exhibiting the year; "Designed & Tailored Exclusively for DETROIT PISTONS"; and the "MacGregor SAND KNIT [size] 40." On the reverse, which includes his last name across the shoulders in white, Thomas signed his name in silver on the first "1" in the uniform number. The matching mesh shorts have four corresponding labels in the waistline: ""89," "11," the Pistons exclusivity and the MacGregor Sand Knit [size] 32." A fantastic game-used jersey and shorts pairing from one of the grittiest players the NBA has ever produced.
