What’s the biggest confrontation a player has had with something you wrote? Jack McCallum: [Chuckles] Well, I had a couple with Isiah [Thomas]. This was after they had won, early 90s, they had won in ’89, they repeated in ’90. I went up there for something, the Pistons were starting to fall apart totally, and I went up there to do a story about that. Isiah had a confrontation the day before with someone in the parking lot. I can’t remember exactly what it was, but I said I wanted to talk to him after practice and he was like, ‘Yeah, but I don’t wanna talk about what happened yesterday.’ I said okay, so I started talking to him and the interview was going so well, and me being me, I said well I know you said you didn’t wanna talk about it, but let me ask you about it and we’re in a corner of the gymnasium, and Isiah goes, well I thought we agreed you weren’t gonna ask me about it. I go yeah, okay. And he goes, ‘Well, why did you ask me about it?’ And his voice kept getting louder and louder and louder, and finally Laimbeer comes over and kind of got between us .
