08:07 AM ET 09.06 | Now just past 50, Isiah Thomas is a student again. Thomas, who was fired in April as coach at Florida International, after three seasons and a 26-65 mark, said he's focused on his own education. "Right now, I'm working on getting my master's in education," Thomas said at Ollie's Bargain Outlet, a discount retailer on Telegraph, two miles south of I-94 in Taylor. ... He said he'll always feel like a member of the Pistons, regardless of where he lives, works or plays. "I always consider myself a Piston -- that's what we are; that's who we are," he said, mentioning former teammates Bill Laimbeer, Vinnie Johnson, Dennis Rodman, Mark Aguirre, John Salley and current Pistons president Joe Dumars. "You have a good Piston at the head of the organization."

Great player, tough as nails and a possibly the best small guard to ever play in the NBA.

Great player, odd person, terrible coach, terrible GM.

Good teams he played with in Detroit, but his after life was horrendous.
