Isiah Thomas Takes Another Dig At Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson And Larry Bird

Detroit Pistons legend Isiah Thomas experienced a ruthless competition against Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls during the late 1980s and 1990, when the Pistons eliminated the Bulls from the playoffs for three straight years (1988, 1989, and 1990).

The Bad Boys Pistons were an obstacle that Jordan couldn’t clear at first. The heated matchups between Isiah and Jordan eventually formed a bitter atmosphere between the two, that still lasts today.

Their rivalry peaked when the Bulls finally got the upper hand in the 1991 Eastern Conference Finals and Isiah Thomas and his teammates left the court before time expired, without a handshake or any congratulating gesture.

A year later, Jordan then helped Magic Johnson and other teammates to keep Isiah Thomas off the 1992 Dream Team, after Thomas had feuds with many players.

Ever since back then, Thomas has been collecting numerous salty statements towards Jordan, Magic, and other members of the Dream Team, and recently, he put his own legacy above the likes of Jordan, Magic, and Larry Bird, once again.

“All them people that they say are the best to ever do it, my teams beat all them.”

But one has to admit, that many of his points definitely are valid. The Bad Boy Pistons are 100% under appreciated.
