Isiah Thomas made an interesting statement regarding his time as head coach with the Indiana Pacers.

Thomas, a two-time NBA champion and Hall of Famer, spent three season with the Pacers (2000-2003).

“Those three years were great coaching moments for me. I’ll be as bold as to say this: I think if [Larry] Bird hadn’t fired me, I think we would have won the championship that following year. I think we would’ve beat the Pistons.

That was my team and my time to go,” Thomas told Heavy.com, via ClutchPoints.

Thomas led the Pacers to the playoffs three straight years, but got eliminated in the first round in all three of them.
