This won't make Boston fans happy....I hope such won't be the case but suspended for a year bodes badly for the Celts as well as forUdoka

I feel it's all over for him. Trust is gone. Respect is gone.

A sudden turn of events ruins chemistry.

It likely is over but I don't believe he has lost respect and trust. He will be a successful NBA coach. Will Boston let him go?????

I hadn't listed them in order, but thinking about it, I was close.

Steph number 1, due to a recent championship. There's no argument in my mind; championship speaks volumes.
Although Jokic was MVP again, Giannis and Luka had a better run at Euro Basket.
And Embiid could/should be 5th.

To other teams he will still be respected, maybe. But that sex Scandal of Isiah Thomas in New York ruined him permanently.

He might ask for a trade?

Stephen A's take on the scandal.

Stephen A. Smith on Ime Udoka Story: ‘Plenty of White Folks in Professional Sports That’s Doing Their Thing’

Smith noted there are "plenty of white folks" in sports, including those in leadership positions, who aren't receiving attention for similar behavior.

here's a new rule change that I think will be good for the game....

TAKE-FOUL PENALTY, SCORE CHANGES WILL BE DIFFERENT IN 2022-23 NBA SEASON​

The new penalty for a take foul is 1 free throw, which may be attempted by any player on the offended team in the game at the time the foul was committed

Just throwing this out there, if you have not watched Bad Boys on the NBA channel, I recommend it. I loved this time period in basketbrawl!
Well done production.

Though the Pistons were big rivals of the Celtics, they have gotten my respect about 20 years after that era. Indeed, great hard basketball in those time.

I. hated the Bad Boys. They always gave the Lakers a hard time. Man, Bill Laimbeer was such a thug. To get to the hoop, you had to get by him, with your head still on

Agree. Bird as so mad at him for a take down, Bird threw the ball at him.

 

[jadis]

And Parish just beat him up.

As a lifelong Lakers fan that sat at the Fourm through all eras, well until LBJ,the Lakers/Celtics/Pistons/Bulls era was epic basketbrawl!

The game has truly changed.

The game has truly changed.

It has for sure. I had forgotten about when the Pistons walked off the court with time still on the clock when they lost the championship.

Thats why to this day I hate Isiah. No matter how great a player, I hate him. His son however was different. Isiah couldn't stand that the sports only mentioned Bird, Magic, etc but never Isaiah. It seemed he was always jealous of them and Michael etc

When they walked off the floor and never shook hands with the winners was something I know Isiah admittedly regrets. Tarnished his legacy if there was one.

I remember this same well......
