The greatest little player in the history of the NBA was introduced yesterday as head coach of Florida International University. Most basketball fans never have heard of FIU before Isiah Thomas, aka Isiah Thompson was brought in. Thomas, who will donate his 250,000 a year salary back to the school, is still getting paid over $12 million dollars next season. Check out the commentary by ESPN’s Jim Rome on this funny mistake:

In honor of the inauguration of the 44th President of the United States, President Barrack Obama, I have assembled a comprehensive list of the 44 Greatest NBA Players of my lifetime. Over my lifetime, some of the greatest players the NBA has ever seen have graced the court. You will see some names missing from this list that played before my time, such as Oscar Robertson, Wilt Chamberlain, Jerry West, Rick Barry or Bill Russell.
With that being said, check out the list, which ranks the players by what they have accomplished in their career, whether still playing or retired, and not on potential.
