Isiah Thomas Takes Yet Another Shot At Michael Jordan Over The Last Dance
Stop me if this surprises you.
Recently, Detroit Pistons Hall of Famer had something negative to say about Michael Jordan. Again.
This everlasting feud will likely never die. The latest chapter came when Thomas made an appearance on the Draymond Green podcast. When the subject turned to The Last Dance documentary from 2020, Thomas couldn't resist.
The 10-part miniseries chronicled Jordan's career with the Chicago Bulls, going from his days as a high-flying rookie to winning six titles in the 1990s. Thomas said he had one big issue.
"For me and you this when I say this, being a champion, this was the first time I really got a chance to peek behind the opponent's curtain," Thomas said to Green. "And I must say I was disappointed with what I saw."
Thomas was critical of the way Bulls owner Jerry Krause was portrayed by Jordan. The two were never on the best of terms during those days. But Thomas sided with Krause, saying Jordan's words in the documentary were disrespectful.
"And here's why I was disappointed," Thomas said. "The way they treated Jerry Krause and the disrespect that they showed for him, I was blown away, totally blown away. To watch how they treated him and the disrespect and lack or respect that they gave him as a person and as a man, it was cringeworthy watching that. I cringed for him and his family."
Of course, this is the latest in the Thomas-Jordan beef but surely not the last.
