Ya know, if you don't get along with anyone, and everyone seems to hate you…the problem isn't with everyone and the only person with any problems is you.
Isaiah never figured that out, or he figured it out and didn't care.
The difference is when isiah did not respect MJ when the bulls beat the detroit piston during the era ,the time the pistons defeat the bulls MJ humbly accept the defeat but when the bulls defeat the pistons isiah attitude is rude he leaves the court with pistons players and did not accept there defeat that's the reason behind, MJ is not interested to play with the dream team but the whole world wants MJ to play then MJ said let isiah play but magic did not want because he is the number 1 point guard, isiah has no winning attitudes doesn't respect defeat
It was Magic, he heard Isaiah was saying shit behind his back, about the HIV stuff. Pippin also said if Isiah's there, he wouldn't be. Those Pistons teams rubbed a few guys the wrong way.
As a Detroit native, I find it funny how all the other teams absolutely hated the Pistons during that era. I think the Bad Boy Pistons won 2 back to back championships around 1990 and were the most hated/feared team because of guys like Bill Laimbeer, Rick Mahorn, Dennis Rodman, and Isaiah Thomas. You could argue that MJ might not have become such a stellar basketball player if he wasn't pushed to the limit by teams like Detroit back in those days.
Both of the point guards on the Dream Team (Magic & Stockton) were greatly limited due to injury through most of the Olympic tournament. They really could've used Isiah. He was an extremely good player and would have made them a better team.
The Bad Boys were 2x Champs during the Dream Team era. But they were, for a lack of a better word, the NBA's first gang. This was a closed group. Only members allowed. They weren't looking for ANYONE'S approval back then. And, because of that, they made a lot of enemies from the rest of the NBA. And, I loved them…..
Michael Jordan is on the timeline of becoming a real deal elder like Mike Tyson, who owns his decisions and even the ones that were only attributed to him. Legend.
The amount of excuses the jordashians got for mj in the comment section is astounding no other player had the final saying besides mj if he wanted IT on the team he would’ve been on the team
You can try to explain all you want. But we all know you had a huge part in that. But yet you agreed to put a college kit on the team. That was no good. Never had a great career in the n b a and it's not look that as one of the greats get the f outta here MJ
I respect Isaiah Thomas as being 2nd best to Magic and yes, i hate him.. And although i didn't want Isaiah on the Dream Team and did everything in my power to keep him off it, I never said his name or said it was him I was talking about… – G.O.A.T.

MJ is the kind of guy who would WANT you to know he was the reason Isiah wasn't on the team. So if he says he wasn't the reason why I believe him.
When Malone elbowed Thomas to the death, nobody blamed him because everybody hated Thomas.
IT is a braggart, period!
Magic, Isiah,,,,,,,,, okey but a third a name needs to be added. Oscar.
When MJ hates you, but still respects your game and says ur the 2nd best PG in history…that's still one hell of a compliment.
Shaq O'Neil should have been on that team 😊😊😊😊
John Stockton is the goat 🐐🐐🐐
Christian Laettner had no business being on that team
He was a bitter, jealous, and spiteful dude. Cancer in the locker room. Very good ball player though, but not worth the drama.
F the Bad Boys

From the GOAT
I like how people ignore fact Chuck Daly didn’t get him on the team. Speaks volumes lol
THE GOAT ❤❤❤ 🔥 💍 👑
The GOAT
Isiah earned a spot on that team PERIODT!!
Coach Daley didn't want him on the team. Mike krzyzewski said he wouldn't coach if Isaiah was on the team 🤪
PJ carlesimo said if that fking Isaiah Thomas is on the team, I'm going to choke him out, and we're going to have problems!
Isaiah made himself hated by many. The only person he has to blame for his exclusion is himself.

"No Matter How Much I Hate Him
Chris mullin got his spot😢
The fact detectors and audio evidence proves: THAT WAS A LIE

MJ would have no problem saying he did if he did. He doesn't need to hide behind his words
I think best pg ever is steph 😂😂😂
Michael Jordan is on the timeline of becoming a real deal elder like Mike Tyson, who owns his decisions and even the ones that were only attributed to him. Legend.
Much Respect for the GOAT !
The hate comes from Isiah to Jordan this GOAT has never left his head Isiah hates him it's so obvious
Had they had Isaiah Thomas they would have still been the real Dream Team!
You damn right tou respect his game. Dude BEAT your sorry butt TWICE. AND beat Larry bird, whoch YOU never did.
Team of the 90's my a55 😆
The amount of excuses the jordashians got for mj in the comment section is astounding no other player had the final saying besides mj if he wanted IT on the team he would’ve been on the team
JORDAN IS LYING 😂😂
He lying they played the phone call recording lol
What mj mean is: it wasn't "just" me 🤭
Isaiah Thomas never said that he hates MJ. 😮
Take it from someone who knew Anuka Brown Sanders personally. Isaiah was a toxic person, and is a toxic person. Period.

The fact that Isiah’s coach was the coach of the dream team and didn’t fight for him to be on the roster SAYS A LOT
I respect Isaiah Thomas as being 2nd best to Magic and yes, i hate him.. And although i didn't want Isaiah on the Dream Team and did everything in my power to keep him off it, I never said his name or said it was him I was talking about… – G.O.A.T.
Ohh, but it was you Mike. What you say goes. You admit you hate him.
