Isiah Thomas full interview on 'The Last Dance' handshake controversy | Get Up

Former Detroit Pistons point guard Isiah Thomas joins Detroit native Jalen Rose and Mike Greenberg to respond to Episodes 3 and 4 of "The Last Dance," in which Thomas' "Bad Boys" team infamously walked off the court without shaking hands with Michael Jordan's Chicago Bulls in the 1991 NBA playoffs.

Zeke is one of the very few guys that can actually say he bust Magic, Bird and Mike being a point guard and about 170 pounds, respect and his class act as well

@Christian Stokes Exactly!

[@alyjulmim8447]

Magic and Bird can say the same.

[@uria2001]

he beat an old Larry, a older Magic that was far from prime and close to coming up HiV. Now he did get Jordan before he got help that he would depend on. Lets stop acting like the Pistons won in each of those players Prime. The Pistons were a great time no doubt. When Jordan beat the Pistons it was the same thing. The Bulls were a better team and the Pistons were also older.

He was following the lead of Thomas and Lambeer, maybe the Bulls part help a bit. But I honestly think the leader part it's Isiah and the spectacular part was Lambeer because he looked like the dirtiest player ever.

[@jonnuanez7183]

I think the way Detroit played just burned that fire under Michael that much more. I think they helped "create" him, in a sense. Not quite Dr. Frankenstein. But they showed him what he needed to overcome, even if it's a Laimbeer arm to the throat. The Jordan Rules imo also pointed out his weaknesses, which he hopefully overcame to slice through other teams like butter. And once you get past this rugby team, all others are a cakewalk.

[@SpikeShooter92]

You know why they didn't shake their hands? Because the Pistons didn't deserve their respect. Just a year earlier, a player tried to end Larry's career by pushing him down to the floor which led to a brawl. Their reputation wasn't deserving of anything at that time. When the Pistons walked out, it's because they were sore losers and upset that they were finally defeated. That's the difference

Jordan didn't have a problem with their physical play. He (and many, many others) had a problem with certain players who did things that could end someone's career. Nonetheless, he STILL had enough respect to shake their hands after every single loss (three straight in the playoffs). Again, he NEVER had a problem with them being physical. He was physical, everyone back then was psychical. It was certain players (such as Lambier) that tried to end people careers.
