Isiah Thomas reveals that she found out how Michael Jordan felt for him after seeing the last dance

The Last Dance documentary explored the rivalry between Michael Jordan and Isiah Thomas. Their teams, the Chicago Bulls and the Detroit Pistons, had many fierce encounters in the late 1980s and early 1990s. So when Thomas wasn’t cast for the Dream Team, everyone felt that Jordan’s personal rivalry against Thomas was the reason he was left out.

The Pistons legend recently spoke to Shannon Sharpe, where he said watching the Last Dance made him realize this.

He said: “It seems like only one person had a problem, and that was Jordan. At the time, I didn’t realize it, and even until I saw The Last Dance; I didn’t realize he felt the way he felt for me. I’ve never had bad words with him or anything like that. We played, his team won, mine won, we went home and they went home. “

Since the release of the documentary, Thomas has been repeatedly asked about his relationship with Jordan and his exclusion from the Dream Team. His answers haven’t changed, but the questions seem to never end.

Michael Jordan denies he was guilty

During the documentary The Last Dance, Jordan can be seen appreciating Thomas’s talent. “I respect the talent of Isiah Thomas”, Jordan said in the documentary. “For me, the best point guard of all time is Magic Johnson, and right behind him is Isiah Thomas. No matter how much I hate him, I respect his game.

“You want to attribute it to me, go ahead and be my guest. But it wasn’t me. “

The Dream Team pulled Magic Johnson out of retirement to play. But Zeke, who was still playing at the All-Star levels, was ignored. However, they still won comfortably, so everyone moved on.

Does the Thomas-Jordan rivalry still exist?

Lately, Thomas has made multiple statements that it was an indirect attack on Jordan. He called LeBron James, the greatest player of all time. He later also added that LeBron is more skilled than Jordan, and that “tthere is no comparison here. “

While it can be argued that LeBron or Jordan are the GOAT, Thomas’s statements came out of nowhere. And because of the differences he had with Jordan, one could call him biased. It’s amazing how bad blood still seems to be there, over 30 years since they had their matches on the pitch.
