- Isiah Thomas explains to Draymond Green that he never suspected Michael Jordan was the reason he got left off the Dream Team and when he found that out watching ‘The Last Dance,’ he was shocked. He then goes on to explain that his relationship with MJ is not salvageable unless he gets a public apology.

Isiah knows damn well Mike ain't apologizing😂
Zeke neither 😂. Michael 1-4 against him. That boy taking that 10 ft under
He is just trying to stay relevant. If it wasn't for MJ, no one would even be talking to this dude.
@@Nazarethrice That's a lie and you know it. Isiah has 2 chips and he's been to the finals 3 straight years. He is relevant, whether you like him or not!
He ain't expecting an apology. Draymond asked him a question, and he answered it.
@@twhite3850no denying his greatness and achievements, but sadly, no one is talking about that. When's the last time you seen a video about his greatness? I think he's one of the greatest point guards EVER. Why has every video he's been in has been somehow tethered to MJ? Why don't we see videos about him dropping 18 in a qtr with a broken ankle? It's because he doesn't get his proper recognition for those things. Why would Draymond discuss MJ instead of his great achievements? No one talks about him or wants to talk about him and his obvious greatness. That's why we're discussing this right now instead of his greatness. Like it or not, his accomplishments have taken a back seat to these discussions. Even MJ said he's first or 2nd best PG ever, next to Magic and this is what we're talking about today? Come on bro
I love Zeke..and the bad boy Pistons were my first NBA love... but I don't think MJ gives a shit about a relationship with Isiah Thomas
Facts
Zeke was asked a question, he opened his mouth and jordan sexuals suddenly mad. I like what Zeke said. If he didn't meant it apologize publicly, if he meant let it stand, he's ok with it.
I dont think Isaiah gives a damn about MJ either . He was asked a question and he answered.
MJ is the Donald Trump of basketball. By that I mean He can kill a man on the court , literally and people will just say he is competitive. Remember when Trump said ,he can shoot someone and nothing will happen? That's why I call him that
He was asked a question, and he answered it. He didn't bring it up.
Idk if anyone remembers back in ‘92 there was an audio that leaked where a hot mic caught Scottie Pippen saying “if Isiah is in the team I ain’t playin” and he wasn’t the only one in the audio addressing Isiah not playing but he was the loudest. It was a crazy time.
There is audio of MJ saying, he doesn’t want Zeke on the team. It leaked when the last dance doc was going on.
MJ wasn’t the only player that didn’t want him on the team.
Under the radar knowledge 💯
Yes he was and i bet it was because isahia talked bad about the milk man massa 😂
Most the people didn’t want him on the team. Even magic n bird that’s why they had beef for a sec.
Facts Zeke had beef wit all of the Big 3 players AND he had the gambling scandal in 1990 that made the cover of Sports Illustrated and the FBI did their own investigation
Cocaine.........
The last dance did not have MJ saying he didn't won't Isiah on the team, so let's move on everyone knows about Isiah did to MJ over the years so let's stop it,😂😂😂😊
Half the team didn’t want him on it. I don’t take anything away from Zeke. He’s one of the best PG’s of all time and what those Pistons teams did by winning 2 (and almost 3) championships was incredible. But, his team played a dirty brand of basketball. They frequently tried to hurt people and constantly committed dirty fouls. He was viewed as the mastermind behind it. Not being liked or wanted in certain circles was the penalty he paid for that.
Thank U! U are 100% correct. You loved being the bad boys of Detroit! Bad Boys don't get invited to party's. Price you pay🤷🏾♀️
Funny thing when Dreymomd got suspended that time my first thought was the entire Detroit pistons team wouldn’t be able to play a season or two being rough tough is understatement for Isaiah team 😂😂😂😂I actually made this statement on another sports channel before even knowing this channel or hearing this story
So Isiah was the mastermind behind it, but the headcoach had nothing to do with their philosphy? Sure he didht. There was no problem with his coaching the Dream Team
Yall are hilarious. I thought thats how everyone played back in those days? Thats what everyone says when trying to discredit players of today. Which is such horsehit & overexaggerated.
Shows how soft that era is. No one would blackball Draymond. All the best players lining up to play with him. 😂
Zeke still lying his ass off about MJ not wanting him there as the main course of it. Ignores how Magic didn’t want him there also. Zeke lies his ass off. So glad he didn’t make the dream team. He didn’t deserve to be there and it’s great it bothers him so much.
M j was the main reason isaiah wasn't on the team
@@Alan-ws1wd keep telling yourself that
@@NoNameWillBeGiven-ii5huJordan was _recorded_ by Jack McCallum specifically saying that he told Rod Thorne that if Thomas was on the team, he wouldn't be.
@@SECRETARIATguy224try again trolll
Isiah says "Magic wasn't even in the league anymore" but the Dream Team was announced right before Magic got HIV.
Only problem I got with it is Mike never talks about dude but he goes out of his way to mention Mike it seems like a scorned ex as great as Isaiah is he literally could talk about everything else but he keeps saying this and nobody else validates him in this story which means other ppl probably ain’t like him just as much as Jordan
He literally only talks about it when some interviewer asks him about MJ. lol so how does he go out of his way to mention him?
What? Mike clearly "talked about" zeke on the documentary, even tho it wasnt even about that time. Mike so in his feelings, cuz he could never beat zeke & pistons so he trying to throw shots on DL. But of course mike isnt gonna directly talk about it, cuz he isnt gonna expose himself.
It wasn’t only MJ that didn’t like him
WHO ELSE
Karl Malone for one.

Scottie
Bird

@@ilocosrugnao1910 WRONG
As a Pistons fan, Zeke get over that shit bro and move on. If he doesn't like u as a person, FUCK IT.
💯💯
But he's being asked about it..and he's not even crying about it he's saying leave it as is and simply responding to it
@@obaidbaig2058 true, but he can simply say he's done with the question, it's been 4 years, Jordan isn't apologizing
@drehaynie164 then ppl will say it's bothering him so much he can't even talk about it etc lol but really he only talks about it when asked. It's a lose/lose for him
Honestly, I don't think he cares too much about the relationship with MJ. What he does care about is that he is the main reason they took the Dream Team from him while being deserving of it. The Dream Team would have been like a badge of honor for the rest of his life. In my opinion, Isaiah can be upset about it forever and he would be justified. Its unfortunate and BS what happend.
Why is people still asking him about Mike. We know how he feels at this point about and what he's gonna say.....And Jordan is not going to apologize. He barely speaks to the media as is
I agree with this statement…I was an Isiah fan growing up…and I also was a Jordan fan…. But I am very much tired of this conversation and I do wish that all of the respective podcasts and interview platforms stop asking Isiah about this because we know what his answers are going to be 🙄
Jordan shouldn't have said what he said in the Last Dance then. He called Zeke an a**hole for NO reason. Did you have an issue with that? I'm sure if somebody called YOU an a**hole on one of the most watched sports documentaries of ALL time that's gonna be played forever, you'd have an issue with it too
@silverblackguerrilla4370 It's because Isiah was an asshole for creating The Jordan Rules in order to hurt MJ and then not show him the proper respect in not shaking his hand after the Bulls beat his team. After MJ shook theirs after he lost to them. You allow Isiah to play the victim game. Why should MJ apologize when Isiah brought it all on himself. He's nothing more than a crybaby. It's been almost 4 yrs since The Last Dance, and he's still salty. It's time to move on because MJ doesn't care either way. I don't feel bad for Isiah, not one bit, and neither should you.
@@ericthompson5908 Nobody tried to hurt MJ. What games were you watching? 🤣. Where's these games where Jordan was getting undercut, clotheslined and elbowed in the head? That NEVER happened. I'm 50 and watched Jordan's entire career so save that nonsense for casual fans. Hurt MJ?!?!! WHEN DID MJ GET HURT FROM HARD FOULING?!?!? It never happened. Meanwhile Zeke was getting his eye split by Karl Malone. I don't even think Jordan ever got a busted lip before. Hurt MJ?!?!? 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Man y'all Jordan Jockers will just say anything. And Zeke didn't invent the Jordan rules, coach Daly and his staff did obviously. You don't even know what the Jordan rules are. Hurt MJ?!?!?!? Man go to bed
@@silverblackguerrilla4370Well I'm 50 too and yes Rodman, Mahorn and Laimber have said the Jordan rules were to put MJ on his ass if he drove to the basket. Now I watched these teams closely and for sure MJ was close lined. Now it didn't happen every game but it happened none the less.
People already hating on the comments without even watching the video. A lot of blind MJ loyalty here.
MJ has never done an interview about anything talking about this, this is I think the 100th I am seeing Isaiah, fairz you can get you clout in the name of the GOAT.
@@colinrko boring overused excuse. "Clout". You forgot to mention MJ just doesn't do interviews at all. You also forgot to mention MJ did a documentary and spoke about it
@@greg2797 I think then we can wait for the Pistons doc can't we 😂, we go on podcasts
@@colinrko The Pistons obviously weren't as popular of a team as the Bulls dynasty. Also again, MJ just doesn't do interviews in general. I am sure if he did more he would also get asked about this situation a lot. Common sense brother. They were rivals. That's like wondering why Magic has so many interviews talking about Bird...
There always is. Something whenever someone defends Lebron or anyone else in the GOAT debate.
The Last Dance came out in April 2020. The rumors about Isiah not making the team because of Jordan had been out for two decades before then.
30 years ago and we're still talking about this? Is it a coincidence, that Draymond is one of LeBron s favorite lap dancers and the media has manufactured a GOAT debate? Shows Isaiah's character for even addressing this after 30 years.
@@Nazarethrice Agreed!
@@Nazarethriceso he was asked a question if it can be resolved and you talking about character? You all need to stop sniffing MJ Jockstrap.
@@therealtruth2119 I wasn't referencing MJ or anyone, I'm talking about life in general. Why would you still be whining about a beef from 30 years ago? You call that character? Shows what type of whiney dude you are, insulting folk over a post that has absolutely nothing to do with you. You shouldn't even use the word character. You obviously have none.
The Last Dance showed us two things; the pettiness of Michael Jordan and his ability to hold a grudge forever.
Jordan is the goat but he did Isiah dirty.
Both things can be right at the same time.
People don’t say this enough
the onyl that is that he is not the goat.
How did he do him dirty? He hasn't admitted to having anything to do with "IT" not making the team and we have no proof. Now, as for calling him "A" Hole. Apparently, that is his experience with him. I can't wrong him for that. Also, listening to the "Last Dance", I don't think MJ is trying to have a future relationship with IT.
Jordan is NOT the goat
Bron the goat, MJ had a higher peak for a few years but he didn’t have the best game, klay score 40 in a quarter. Short great performance doesn’t mean your goat. There’s more to it
They always ask Zeke about M.J. but never ask M.J. about Zeke. They do the same to Dame when it comes to Sean 😂
Why do they believe that?! Mike don’t do many interviews but the ones he does IT comes up in almost every conversation l.
Facts.
mj said he wasn't doing it with Zeke on the team that's pure hate from the goat
MJ doesn’t think about Zeke. Zeke needs to talk about MJ to be relevant. MJ doesn’t need Zeke, heck he took his city from Zeke.
@kentelligent24 Sean who?
Michael Jordan will never apologize to Isaiah Thomas, in fact he has no reason to as far as I see it! When the Chicago Bulls defeated the Detroit Pistons with Isaiah Thomas in the playoffs in 1991, and went on to defeat the Lakers in the 1991 NBA Championship. Well after Chicago beat Detroit immediately after the game instead of showing sportsmanship to Michael and the Bulls Isaiah ran straight to the locker room with some other Piston players. That move sealed Isaiah Thomas fate in not being chosen to play with the Dream team in the 1992 Olympics. You see Isaiah started the bs, that's why I say, Michael Jordan doesn't owe Isaiah Thomas sorry a...s nothing especially not an apology. Some people will never be friends it's not a big deal!💯
That had a lot to do with it...BAD TIMING...
Why Green bobbing his head nonstop like he secretly listening to music😅
Why wouldn't people like the team that was trying to injure them and end their careers? It's baffling.
Isiah's video quality looks like he doing this interview from the past
Damn Isiah need a new webcam
You and your team try to injure him for years, he calls you a name and you want an apology? Stop it sir lol
All you have to know is Detroit and Chicago hated one another. Still til this day. Me as old school fan, I love it. It's sports.
With you all the way. I LOVED watching those two teams play from 1987 through 91. It was awesome!
This “beef” goes beyond the Dream Team diss. Zeke and MJ were cool when MJ first entered the league. I think Zekes nephew stayed with MJ and Zeke who’s from Chicago looked out for MJ. Then when Zeke walked out the court without shaking MJs hand, that pissed MJ off. MJ expected it from Bill but not from Zeke.
They were never cool
And that story is so fraudulent, it's not even funny
@@nonamewillbegiven1217 I think John Salley and Zeke and told the story
@@raphaelsaddler4206 so fraudulent indeed
I think team chemistry is still important and it was not just MJ who didn’t want to play with him. Magic was one. Shaq did not make the team and a few others who might have been deserving. In terms of any “relationship” with MJ, it surely doesn’t matter to him. In fact, I am pretty sure he does not give Thomas any thought. I do agree with MJ’s assessment that Isiah was the second best point guard ever, at least up to that time.
He better than curry
Is Zeke still crying 😂.
He's really not tho
Crying? He just calling mike out for being a petty, backstabbing fake. And zeke knows MJ still in his feelings, cuz he could never get past zeke & pistons.
Let it go bro! Its ova. He not apologizing! Magic was laughing with him after u dapped up Magic at the 75th anniversary. You need to go holla at him😂
Draymond brought up the question
why? magic is boys with zeke and mj, so that means when your friends fall out you get in the middle of it or even worse if they fall out you can't be cool with both? smh, the crazy thing is you never hear anyone say this towards jordan, mj was just on a yacht with magic, if he has beef with zeke who is cool with magic why would he go then? see how silly that sounds....smh
Your coach did you dirty if anyone, lol. How he coach the team and not advocate for your a$$.
Excellent Point. That's something no one talks about.
Who did you think had More Pull,Chuck Daly,or Michael Jordan???🤔🤔🤔
Exactly! He should have never coached that team without Isaiah or Joe on the team.
I Blame M.J.,and Jerry Colangelo,btw,Jerry is from Chicago Hts,IL,and we all know Isiah is from the Chi,Petty Cry Baby(M.J.)was the best player in the 🌍,and just didn't want to share his Ball with the Second Greatest "True"Point Guard Ever!!!!! 😭😭😭
@@johnhoward8081yeah like he was gonna give up a dream opportunity and he wasnt even their coach anymore
Draymond a bobblehead never stop rocking 😂
Growing up, Zeke and JoeD were my favorite players. I loved the Pistons. But this revisionist history has to stop. Zeke was the gatekeeper in Chicago. When MJ first got there, Zeke made it easy for him to assimilate into the city. But when the city started to turn on Zeke and MJ became Chicago, he hated that and began to treat MJ in such a way as to sever the relationship. Then when they walked off the court without acknowledging the Bulls, it was completely over. The way the public viewed Zeke was never the same. And remember, Zeke's head coach was the coach of the dream team. He even said it wasn't MJ that kept him off the team. It was Pippen, Malone, and Barkley.
And by the way, Zeke is a ass hole. But that's what made him and those Piston teams so great. But they are the only dynastic team (EC Finals, EC Finals, Finals, Finals win, Finals win, EC Finals lost to Bulls) that isn't treated as one. And it was because of the attitude and overall disrespect for the league and other players in it.
Well said, true perspective, but those others said it because the NBA wanted them to. MJ ran the world and his wish was their command.
I agree 100%. A lot of these fans and analysts today don't understand this feud. I grew up in Chicago in the 70's, 80's and 90's. Isiah was so jealous that Jordan was the face of Chicago basketball in his hometown. You had to have lived in Chicago during those times to understand the rivalry. This can't be explained. You won't understand it just watching documentaries or listening to these players tell the stories. You had to be there to understand it. Notice how Jordan never really talks about it? I'll give credit to Isiah....I believe he is the best point guard/ball handler ever with Jerry West behind him. I would choose Isiah Thomas over any point guard today. But, he's still a piece of sh*t, dirty player and Chicago will never forgive him.
Saying MJ needed security in Chicago is asinine. MJ took over his city and IT been jealous since, his own nephews loved MJ 😂😂😂
who said MJ needed security? You don't understand how thing work in the city @@berlingray8058
Nobody is that naive to believe ,pippin and Malone kept Isiah off the team Mj voice the only one that counted
Dang Isiah still using the camera from the 80s 😂
Isiah saying the relationship isn’t salvageable is like me saying me and Drake will never be friends. That man ain’t thinking bout you
💯💯
No bad comparison...He beat Jordan alot times. You never out rapped Drake...nice try you're just not creative just another fangeek
@@rasulsamad5860 now try it again in English
@osirishill23 saids the uneducated poor guy
Good interview, Mr Green. You allowed your guest to speak his mind. Rare in this day and age.
After the Pistons beat up half the league what did Isaiah ex spect to happen nobody wanted him on the Dream Team back then
I am 62 going on 63 years old and I use to watch the Pistons and Bulls back in the day. I will say Isaiah should’ve been on the team based on his skill set, but I understand why he didn’t make and I totally agree with the decision. Isaiah and the Piston only won because they started playing football, they was trying to hurt players. Joe Dumas, and Vinny Johnson played the game correctly and the rest was haters and really was trying to injure players. Isaiah needs to get over it, he made this bed and now he has to lay in it. MJ should not apologize because Isaiah was exactly what he was called based on how he played and acted.
with all due respect you are going on 63, you're telling me that the pistons were a rougher team than the 76ers, celtics, lakers, bucks, etc? that was the style of play back then, c'mon now we can't just rewrite history
@@PeriseanBaltimorethat’s why only pistons were called the bad boys and not everyone else. Maybe they just crossed the line more

Isaiah did mike dirty first. Everyone always said isiah was a snake. He showed it too during the playoffs when the bulks bounced their ass
Funniest part of the video is toward the end when IT claims he treated MJ well. I guess he thinks freezing MJ out in his first all-star game counts as quality treatment.
Why? Cuz of the Jordan rule he came up with?
@@josegrullon024 Organising Jordan freeze out during all star game. Being friends with Magic then stabbing magic in the back during aids diagnosis and spreading gay rumours. Then refusing to shake Jordan's hand when they beat them. A lot of people didn't want Isaiah in the Dream team for a reason.

Mr. Thomas...you do know that Mr. Jordan DOES NOT CARE to have a speaking relationship with you and I BET BIG MONEY it has very little to do with you /your teams unsportsmanlike behavior. It has EVERYTHING to do with Magic Johnson & how you treated your "Brother"/"Friend" during his most devastating moments. Do not think people don't remember that, sir.

Don’t even dream about it.
But do your research. John Sally said that it was actually magic that kept him off of the dream team. And it was other players that didn't want to play with him.
Man listen, my grandmother always said, "The pride of a man, will always be the fall of a man. Our time on earth is short, so let's make peace with the earth. God is good, I pray God can allow you guys to be reconciled..... Do it for the Culture
Jordan don’t care man. Let it go.
He’s always talking about mj. Mj don’t ever talk on him. Jordan wrote him off long ago
No matter how you put it, if he would have made the team he probably wouldn't be relevant as he is today. He's not the only one. That moment will always give him airtime. MJ doesn't even talk about dude. Even while Pip was talking and writing books Jordan remained silent. You'll never know the truth because we'll only hear Isiah's side. A few other players have spoken on it. Fact is they're riding it. I don't even knock them for it. Beating the Bulls then losing was the best thing that could have happened to him.
Just can’t keep Mikes name out his mouth!
Draymond asked the question
get off your knees
Bruh.. he was asked about it
Mike stayed wit Isaiah Thomas family wen he first came to the league so he go out in Chicago. Mike is the GOAT but Zeek not wrong

Magic came out and said he kept Isiah off the team...in his book he said "NOBODY WANTS NO PART OF HIM...WHO NEEDS HIM? NOBODY..."
That says everything...
Isaiah got to stop this😂😂 Jordan was the best player in the league and the face of the NBA at the time so of course he had the power to say he didn't want to play with Isaiah or he wasn't playing who you think the NBA going to choose 🤔🤔
The committee made the decision, not the NBA and they got the power on who plays, not the players
“Now if u meant it, let it stand, I’m good with that.”
I’m just going to keep talking about it…
Regardless who’s side you’re on it’s ALWAYS good to listen to each side of the story and try to read the individual and listen to what’s said and then make your decision about your own position. Because there is always 2 sides to every story. I’m not even an IT fan but it’s worth listening to his perspective.
It's only him talking genius and no one asked
Isaiah doesn’t like MJ been trashing him for years before the last dance….
Let. It. Go.
Isiah sound like an ex that can't get over the heartbreak.
Whinning like a little girl every chance he gets.
Leave to us to try and tear down our legends over the most simple reasons, the new culture is trash.
One thing about this. MJ hasnt said a single word while Zeke continues to talk about him.
Michael Jordan called Zeke an A-hole because he refused to shake his hand after the Bulls swept them. He was wrong for that because it showed poor character. Its why people remember the Pistons more for the walking off the court than anything else. Jordan was wrong for not wanting Zeke on the team,too.
Zeke needs to move on. No kind of historical revisionism is going to chance what happened. MJ also gave props to Zeke in that doc by saying he was the greatest point guard after Magic.
He's just throwing words down an echo chamber by making his rounds on all these podcasts.
No one wanted him and it aint wrong at all
Lmao LBJ don't want a lot of players on his team... Or does he want everybody on his team... Im so confused 🤔
Personal feelings shouldn't keep a player off of a team!
MJ said he had nothing to do with it in the last dance it was Magic. This dude just hears what he wants to hear.
False. Jordan was recorded by Jack McCallum specifically saying that he told Rod Thorne that if Thomas was on the team, he wouldn't be. Jordan has been lying about that for over 30 years.
News flash zeek: he doesn't care and will NEVER apologize.😂😂😂😂😂
And so it shall stand, cause he meant it.
MJ worth nearly $4B and the only time he made a video about any of this was when he got paid $10M for the Last Dance.
There are levels to this shit.
MJ didn't do it alone. Isaiah's reputation preceded him
The hell you talking about
Far gone are those days. Might as well let it go.
For both their salvation, I really hope they both can forgive each other. Pray for Isiah and Michael!
Jordan has nothing to apologize to Isiah for so no
Man, that guy doing the ad read. Why? Why still?
Zeke no why and a lot of people's in the NBA had qualms with him from magic to bird was the Word*
The Pistons were criminals, it was lucky that no opponents got killed. One of the worst stories in all of sports history.
You should've ask your Detriot coach.
Mike wasn't the only one that didn't want you
The GOAT don't want any relationship with you...Zeeks did Jordan not shakes the Bad Boys hands when he lost to them?? ZEEKS your coach was the DREAM Team .... he didn't select you!!
You have _no idea_ what you're talking about. Chuck Daly had _no say whatsoever_ on who was on that team, and that was made clear to him before he even was officially announced as the head coach.
@@SECRETARIATguy224 it's simple Jordan not playing if Zeeks on the squad!!
Green acts like he knows anything about of this.
The Bad Boy Pistons spent years trying to hurt Pippen and Jordan... Laimbeer was dirty, Mahorn was dirty, Rodman was dirty, Isiah was dirty... when the Bulls finally beat the Pistons in the playoffs, Isiah Thomas led the team off the court without shaking hands... if you're Michael Jordan and have the power to play with whoever you want on the Olympic team where you're the marquee star is that someone you want as your teammate? MJ played chess, Isiah was playing checkers lmao
Isiah asked for Jordans apology But says the relationship is not salvageable. Uh why asked for an apology...wth
Zeke is paying the price for his actions as the mastermind of the way the pistons played period. Now Detroit had dirty players Bill Laimbeer and Rick Mahorn were the two dirtiest. These guys actually assaulted players as to get them to throw punches to get kicked out of the game. I was sure glad Robert Parrish didn't get thrown out when he assaulted Laimbeer. As a matter of fact Laimbeer still gloats when talking about those days. Somebody should have kicked his ass outside the arena. That being said Isiah should have known that one day he would pay the price for walking off the court and not shaking hands, plus getting others to also not shake hands. This handshaking is done even at the lowest levels of play, like grade school it's called sportsmanship. Jordan correctly called him an asshole and that's that. Thomas never apologized for walking off the court and not Congratulations the bulls.
it is crazy to think they didn't pick Isiah up, but they used his coach
Everybody know MJ is just a player but his resume is different*
Love Dre...just subscribed so keep it up big dawg, REMEMBER you are the staple that is annoying because the truth is UNCOMFORTABLE
no one wanted to play with no one from the PISTONS, they actually tried to end players careers
"We won the most championships in that era?" Since when is two greater than three or five. And no you shouldn't have won three because the Lakers lost their entire back court and the Pistons beat LA without Magic and Scott. So LA can say they should of had six and not five..
This Isiah guy. It’s been 32 years…
Jealousy is witchcraft
C'mon Guys let go "you can't unscramble eggs🥚🍳"
Don’t be fooled by Isiah’s smile folks!
Some players are more trouble than it is worth to play with. Him still going on about this is kind of just further proof. He is good and has skills. Who is he contesting that can shoot jumpshots and what do all euro people do? Shoot without jumping at a high percentage and be tall... then this guy is still here and probably going to argue for minutes?? "Arguing everyday and playing less"??
Who would sign up for that?
It's been 4 years, and he's STILL talking bout this shit. 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
Why do people keep asking him about MJ. He still hasn't gotten over not making the Dream Team. For him to say that he helped MJ, is ridiculous. MJ doesn't owe him anything. But what he doesn't talk about is why MJ doesn't like him. I'm sure MJ remembers it like yesterday. Isaiah Thomas and the Pistons walked off the floor like punks without shaking hands after the Bulls beat them.
Y’all make it seem like yall don’t do…nvm arguing with a wall does no good for anybody. Dudes has the right to speak on anything that involves his name and he has every right to respond with someone is playing with his name because they feelings were hurt.
You know you're the Goat when people still hate you because your past accomplishments. Jordan forever
How the Fug is Jordan supposed to feel about a man who was the leader of the team who would basically physically assault Jordan in the game. Isiah got that smile and BS charm but he was a dirty little you know what and now he's trying to play the victim.
do you feel that same way about bird or magic? because you do realize the pistons were modeled after those teams, I grew up in the 80s so i actually saw those teams play live, both the celtics and lakers were physical teams, also julius erving fought bird, actually swung on him, does that mean bird did something dirty to him - no, not by my logic but maybe by yours....
@@PeriseanBaltimore thank you most people just be yapping weren't even born. all teams played physical like that and Pistons got the blueprint from the Celtics he even said it on that "Indiana Glory" episode
@@hooligan5381 it's like we just want to make things true that just aren't, but if you know you know, salute
@@PeriseanBaltimore what we are talking about here is their relationship. What other things happened with other teams has nothing to do with the relationship between Jordan and Thomas. When Jordan played against Boston they didn't beat them up. They played hard but it was the Detroit Pistons that literally beat the crap out of Jordan and Thomas was the one who was orchestrating it all. Everyone knows it that's why Jordan knew who to blame.
@@hooligan5381 show me footage of the Boston Celtics beating up on Jordan. I'm 56 years old. It doesn't exist.
Huh? What Era? If Magic had 5, Bird had 3, and he had 2 how did they win the most Championships? I'm confused.
He was referring to the era of the 1980s.
@SECRETARIATguy224 Thank you, but how can that be when in the 80s was dominated by Lakers or Celtics. Philly won 83; Detroit 89 - the rest of the decade was either LA or Boston. I'm still confused. 😆
@@ajae18 Of the guys being considered for that team, those three had the most championships.
You gotta remember he just came off winning back to back championships he should’ve been on the team
Nope
You don't need to watch the video. Look at the host and the guess 😂. You didn't make the team because you just didn't mil with the rest.
You didn't make the team because nobody respected you Isiah. And Chuck Daly coaching? **chefs kiss** baby
Isiah’s own Coach didn’t even want him. Talk about that Zeke.
Willie D said it best when he said that Michael Jordan is a great basketball player but he is not a very good person!
No one cares trolll
I’ll never forget when I saw Zeke LIVE on NBA TV say “ WE ALWAYS BEEN HERE”. After that I could never look at MJ nothing more than a ball player that the league used as a distraction for decades via David Stern. ZEKE always will be STAND UP In my eyes.
Yawn trolll
We all know who didn't want Zeke on that team, Pippen! :D
