Isiah Thomas: We didn’t want the Celtics to publicly shake all our hands and pass the torch. No. They had been great champions for a long time, and they were all teachers. We gave them the grace and understanding to exit the way they wanted. We never made a big deal about it. The Lakers never made a big deal about the Celtics not shaking their hands. The Celtics never made a big deal about the Lakers not shaking theirs. Philadelphia never made a big deal about it. Mark, I never heard y’all make a big deal about the Celtics not shaking your hand. The only team in history still talking about handshakes is the Bulls. You won championships—six of them—and you’re still hung up on the fact that no one shook your hand? Come on, man.
