One of the greatest PG of all time
12
Yeah, 2nd greatest of the 80's behind Magic.
16
Magic had a much better team. And if i recall. Pistons beat magic and Jordan in the same year......

No one else on that list has rings so...

So what? If we're going by rings, Sam Cassell is a top 5 PG.
0
Rings matter, I understand not having help for some people like AI, but failure to win the playoffs matters. Especially for people like Magic who have 5 and multiple MVP's, CP3 isn't close to him.
2
Kidd has a ring
CP3 has gone years without an all star teammate, Magic never had a season without one
Stockton went up against that great Bulls team, if not he'd have a ring
Nash has 2 MVP's and if Joe Johnson didn't break his face in 05 probably would have a ring.

How do you know that? Not doubting you i just couldn't find out myself

People were saying before he is so that's when I commented. It turns out he's not but people thought that
0
Ah okay, I was gonna start the blacktop grind lol
4
2K updated the level 10 board so you can pick him and another diamond off of it if you are lucky and you still get the guaranteed diamond after that
1
You do get to visit the same diamond board you see when you finish historic domination however - so you still get a good player
-1
Also the last board has 8 rubys and 8 sapphire cards. With Kevin Mchale and Isiah diamonds. So you have the potential to get 3 diamonds total from blacktop also others you may have missed
0
Most to the game reward 4 collection is from blacktop, maybe people haven't gotten far enough to get a pink diamond from it
1
I pulled him yesterday. Pretty good so far. Don't really have a hang of his jumper just yet, but that also probably has a lot to do with the servers being pretty bad when I was using him. I ended up pulling him from one of the cards that doesn't reset the board. I think that happens when you get the (add card) card and pull it if I am not mistaken.
I've been hoping for Kevin Mchale though more so than Isiah. I chose Tony Parker as my diamond pull and I kinda regret not taking Mikan, Wallace or Jerry Lucas. I need a big more now in my lineup. Tony Parker has been sweet though. I think would give Tony the edge offensively over Isiah since I like his jumper more while Isiah is a beast of a defensive PG. Well from my early play with him.

Mikan is a monster. Who did you get when you completed the blacktop buckets? I chose Mikan there and David Tompson when I completed historic domination! Does Zeke finish well in traffic?
0
Congrats man how many games did yu play
2
Thanks I had to play 718 total games to pull him. Obviously an absurd amount. I am sure a lot of people pulled him much sooner.
Show 4 replies...0
i haven't been consistent with myteam this year so a bit behind. What exactly is required to get isiah thomas? As well as what is required to get the second diamond player from the historic domination batch? I am on level 4 currently. Thanks.
Also is getting the second amethyst from the domination batch only in myteam online? and by going undefeated or something?

Why is his nickname Zeke
1
Watch NBA on TNT; Shaq, Kenny, Chuck and Ernie all call him Zeke.
Heres what I found tho:
Turns out Zeke is Isiah Thomas' alto ego. Bill Laimbeer gave Isiah that name when he was a rookie. That was a time when Isiah loved and appreciated living his boyhood dream of playing in the NBA.
I guess it was for no reason, they called him Zeke when he was a rookie...

Love Zeke. It's great that he has an absolute top tier card this year. Some of these comments had me rolling laughing!
Go watch some of his highlights If you were too young to see him play. Insane handles and finishing ability. Could drop a dime to a teammate like no other.
0
Old school all around perfect playmaker! Long grind to get but for me this card is doing it all!
0
Got him yesterday! He play exactly like the pink diamond isiah from 2k15 but the only difference is the 3ball. Put some shoes on him and he can do everything on the court. Absolute Beast! Oh and his handle is crazyyyy

If I beat level 10 on blacktop is there a chance I don't get him?
1
I don't think you can get him the 1st time beating level 10 from what I remember. Beating level 10 the 1st time you do get a card from the board but I don't think Isiah is in play until you play board 10 a 2nd time. For beating level 10 the 1st you get to pick a diamond card. (Tony Parker, Ben Wallace, George Mikan etc etc) It is the same choices that you get for beating historic domination.
You likely will have to beat level 10 over and over again until you pull him. Well if you ever do. Took me a long time.

How many games did yu have to play because ita draggging on now 2nd time around i pulled amare but i need isiah
Show 1 reply...1
718 total games. I've been wanting Amare also. Until 10 or so days ago I have never pulled an amethyst from blacktop. In the span of those 10 days I pulled amethyst Dennis Johnson and Michael Finley. On top of pulling Pink Diamond Isiah. Not sure if the odds got better or if I just got lucky.
I pulled Ruby David West recently as well.

Okay, so I just pulled a DUPLICATE PINK DIAMOND ISIAH THOMAS!! Yes I got TWO of them! Sucks! I had no choice but to sell him for 1,150 MT!!

so i completed level 10 for first time and got emerald cousins fml.. PD isiah has still been in my deck.. if i complete again will i get him?

Dude, I have beaten level 10 four times and still haven gotten him. I did get Kevin Mchale the 2nd time around. But the 3rd and 4th time I got nothing and then when I beat the board I got a bronze player both times. I'm done. I have over 500 wins.

just picked up this card off blacktop, had to play only 394 games to get him, my friend actually told me where to pick to get him, dont understand why he doesnt have defensive stopper badge

the funny thing is i jokingly asked my friend to pick a spot and he got it correct

Holy crap. My last pick for finishing blacktop was this card. Luckiest sh*t ever

The story of how the current Celtics Thomas got his name and why they are not FATHER AND SON. Isaiah is Celtics and Isiah is Pistons. Isaiah's dad lost a bet to one of Isiah's friends and the bet was he had to name his kid Isaiah so he did. The End.

I find it stupid that nate archibald, a card which cost me 40k has more overall stats then a card that would take at least 50 hours to get
0
But I do agree over all with what you said because it's so dumb how all these cards have insane stats they drop . The moment system and historic system is broke . I mean that Paul George historic is better than the reward Ron Artest which makes 0 sense.
0
That may be true but this card plays 100 times better than the Nate archibald , card animations matter as well, and this cards dribble move with layup animations make him pure cheese. I was skeptical at first but after getting him it was well worth it.
0
True, but with the new wave of point guards who just entered the game (payton, robertson, cousy) I don't think it will be long till there is a point guard better than him. Even if archibald isn't as good he still took me so little time to get him i can't see how IT is worth it
0
Yeah. I´ve not played 1000 games in MT Blacktop with a statline of 812 Ws and 188 Ls and the best card I got so far is a ruby Tyson Chandler. Besides the reward for the 10th board of course (I chose Goodrich).

I was lucky enough to get him for a game of blacktop and he is like a tazmanian devil on the court. He is fast and swifty with a wet 3-pointer and an unblockable layup. I hope and pray I pull him on level 10 blacktop.
