[@blueblur2273]

The thing that Isiah is intentionally leaving out is how far Krause went to discredit the players. That's why the players disrespected him. Krause created that kind of environment because he couldn't get over his insecurities. As for Vince not wanting to give his spot to MJ at the 03 All star game, Vince maintains that he always intended to give his spot to MJ. As for MJ, he made it clear in the doc that he thought Isiah was an asshole back when he was playing. So I think Isiah should have listened a little better.

[@Lyvette2000]

Jordan was an asshole to I saw him when he came to New Orleans. Poor Kwame Brown was his target he cursed that man out like a dog. My husband told me he was that way but I didn’t believe him until I saw for myself.

[@Poppa417]

Regardless, he drafted him and put some pretty damn good players around him that helped him get those championships, not to mention the man is deceased. He made him out to be this evil maniacal devil that did nothing but bring hell to everyone, all he did was selfishly want the credit for the championships and success of the franchise he owned and put pieces together to get that success. I don’t agree with how he moved either but it wasn’t that damn egregious plus the man isn’t even alive to tell his side and it’s wrong to do that someone who is dead and a man that did all that he did for MJ. You seen how bulls fans boo’d the man for it and 95% if not more weren’t even alive for that. Thats why doing that is terrible. Regardless of how you felt about him, he did a hell of a job for that franchise and it’s be respected.

[@blueblur2273]

​@@Poppa417They never took any credit away from Krause. They just didn't like or respect him because of the way he acted. Also MJ and the Bulls players problems with Krause isn't some unknown secret. The beef was well documented for years, as far back as when the team was still in operation. Horace Grant partly left because he didn't feel respected by the team. Part of the reason Pippen wanted out, was for the same reason until MJ came out of retirement and changed Pippen's mind. There are plenty of Bulls documentaries, that MJ had nothing to do with, that came out in the early 2000s when Krause was alive, that document this beef and said the same exact thing as MJ's documentary. He had plenty of years to defend himself. Nobody has never discredited Krause by saying he had nothing to do with those Bulls championships. He's always gotten credit. Problem is much like Pippen has become in recent years he was jealous of all the attention and credit MJ got for the teams success and ultimately his jealousy is what broke up the team. He couldn't wait to get MJ out of there to show everyone he could build another great dynasty without MJ, and he failed. MJ didn't need to try and take more credit in his documentary when fact of the matter is he has always gotten the bulk of the credit for that teams successes for years. The only thing I will agree with you about is how those Bulls fans acted earlier this year at the Bulls Ring of Honor ceremony. His wife didn't deserve that and Krause deserved more respect than that for the simple fact that he is deceased. But it's important to know that Krause has been getting booed for years even when the Bulls were winning championships and MJ was not publicly disrespecting him back then. So we can't just blame the documentary for those boos when it has been happening for years before it.

But now he then changed his entire story and all people gotta do is go watch the interview that Isaiah Thomas did with SAS, Max Kellerman, and Molly. Charles Oakley was right about you Zeke smh.

Everybody keeps telling Isiah to "let it go," and that he "can't stop talking about MJ." Does NOBODY realize that in every instance, he is ASKED about MJ? Y'all act like the interviewers say "Hey Zeke how's the family?" And Isiah says "Man I didn't really know Jordan hated me that much." That's not even remotely what happens on these podcasts.

Once MJ touched down in Chicago, a week later he took over his city and IT became an afterthought, his own nephew loved MJ. Isiah is so two faced, he himself Called MJ the Goat in the 80s on Arsenio Hall show and they played on multiple summer charity games together pre and post snubbed handshake. His mouth kept him off the Dream Team, in 91 he was going around telling people Magic was Gay bc of HIV and he and Rodman were telling reporters Bird was only seen as a great player bc he was White. NOBODY wanted him that team, including his own Head coach Chuck, bc I.T. had such a bad attitude. In 2003 Him and MJ hung out with each other and took pictures. Isiah has been holding on to a situation he caused himself. MJ specifically said in that moment G4 ECF 1991 when he and Lambeer and Salley snubbed him he hated him for that but he never discounted the player he was only his character in that moment.
