Isiah Thomas responds to Michael Jordan’s comments on ‘The Last Dance’ | Get Up

[@BudsCartoon]

30 years later the Pistons write off their loss to the Bulls in 91 as "them getting old." They didn't "get" old. They won the Championship in 89 & 90, They weren't on a decade run. Rodman won rings 7 years later... They didn't get old, they got beat.

[@wloonie]

No guys, you're missing one crucial point. Where were Bulls weaker in 1990? In the paint. So yes, Bulls "got better", but because of Phil Jackson, as always. He got rid of players who weren't physical enough, such as Ed Nealy (could shoot threes, but was unusable as rebounder), Jeff Sanders, Jack Haley, and replaced them with Cliff Levingston and Scott Williams. As a result Bulls ended up with no less than six centers/PFs: Cartwright, Grant, King, Perdue, Levingston and Williams. That's 36 possible personal fouls per game, guys! So they could outfight Pistons in 1991, something they couldn't do the year before. Not everything was with MJ - in fact it was much more with Phil. The reason why Bulls did worse in 1995 than in 1994 despite MJ returning was the absence of Horace Grant who left to Orlando. They were hollow in the paint for entire 1994-95 season. And then the league's best rebounder came aboard...

Can you imagine how many points Jordan would have with today with how open the paint is? He’d have a field day in today’s game.

[@nunyabusiness8498]

1 year later. If a zone defense is played Jordan isn't gonna have much fun at all. Not saying he won't excel but he's not averaging something crazy high.

[@novaWRX]

He definitely got blacklisted. I think some are missing a crucial point. The Olympics are meant as a sporting event to promote goodwill and sportsmanship between Nations. Isiah demonstrated the worst sportsmanship when he walked off when he lost to MJ. Instead of owning up to it, he’s still passes the blame to Laimbeer for suggesting it. I think that was the final nail. Also, his team spent years trying to hurt every player on the dream team. So I really don’t think it was just MJ & Pippen who wanted nothing to do w Isiah

[@willliam1420]

Bird hated his gut too

[@Puma722]

But it was ok for Bird to do it and make the Dream Team?

[@Puma722]

@@Brian-kf4yy we're not really discussing that right now though. Bird, McHale, Walton, DJ they all walked off the court and nothing was said about them, the media wasn't in a fuss and as Isiah said the Pistons were not offended. As far as beating up other teams, that's how basketball was in the mid 80s it was physical, people complain about the Pistons but look at how physical the Knicks, Heat, 76ers, and Jazz were in the 90s? Karl Malone laid out Isiah with a vicious elbow that spliced him open...do you remember that? All the other teams that fouled and hacked? The only difference was the Pistons embraced it, embraced being the Bad Boys, every other team was fouling hard. I'm not defending what they did, as an athlete I was brought up differently when it comes to sportsmanship. But think about being in their shoes what MJ said the day before about them not being great champions and not good for basketball. Lambeer was on record telling everyone to do it, all of the stories back up his claim of him telling everyone to walk off, the only players that shook hands were the ones on the court.

I'm from the Deeeeep South and I loved the Pistons.

[@treswann6822]

Isiah was an inspiration to me & influential. Zeke was my favorite because he was a guard...the smaller athlete who gave teams the business on offense!!! 1987, The Pistons came to The Capital Center to beat The Bullets, I was rooting 4 Zeke. He wasn't a champion at that point, on the verge. I'm a washingtonian but Zeke was my favorite player so the Pistons team got a pass When I had to witness the brutality of the Bad boys...I withdrew from liking or rooting 4 Zeke & The team. The only team I had ever claimed was & still is The Chicago Bulls...The Mega Bulls...THE UNBEATABULLS!!! I BECAME a lover of the game, learned what team effort meant & a common goal. I knew about sportsmanship but didn't know the L the Pistons took in the ecf (east con final) affected them or if it was something else, ego, inability to except defeat with humility & self-respect... In the end, Zeke was an antagonist of MJ in the all-star game and it solidified his absence with the DREAM TEAM IT AIN'T NO JOKE, IT AIN'T NO JOKE, MICHAEL JORDAN IS THE TRUE BASKETBALL GOAT 🐐

[@treswann6822]

I hated their behavior after the EC finals loss

[@CokeBoyJay]

Isiah just needs to admit that he didn’t like Jordan. That’s all there is to it.

[@tjnb68]

He was jealous I think because Isiah being from Chicago and Jordan was more beloved in his hometown and of course he was the GOAT...pure jealousy!

[@uncletony6210]

I remember in 1988, when yes, Magic was still considered the best player in the league, and was also Isiah's best friend, Aresnio Hall asked him (Isiah), "who's the best player in the league?" Thomas' answer: "Air. I mean, Magic's my boy and everything, but...Air!"

6:05 Boston walking off the floor. I see McHale congratulating Isiah. Something Isiah didn’t do vs. the Bulls. The Celtics and Sixers big thing was Beat LA. When one of them won the series on the other’s court, the fans yelled beat LA. Pistons didn’t relay that message.

[@MrZackavelli]

@@terrancethomas9792 Okay, yes, not *everyone* on the Celtics refused to shake Detroit's hands; McHale went out and congrajulated them. Same thing happened with Detroit and Chicago. Not *every* Piston walked off the court. Salley and Dumars went out and shook their hands.
