The latest episode of ESPN's Jordan documentaryThe Last Dancefocused on the bad blood between Michael Jordan and Isiah Thomas. And it seems like Thomas is still throwing shade MJ's way.
The Detroit Pistons legend recently listed the top five players he ever went up against - and ranked Jordan fourth on the list.
Who could possibly rank ahead of Jordan? According to Isiah, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Larry Bird, and Magic Johnson were all tougher to play against. Julius 'Dr. J' Erving ranked fifth after MJ.
As reported by nypost.com, Isiah Thomas disagrees with most of the world. He doesn’t believe Michael Jordan is the greatest basketball player of all-time. Thomas doesn’t even think the Bulls legend is the best he’s ever played against.
“When you put Jordan and his basketball team in the ’80s, they weren’t a very successful team,” Thomas told CBS Sports. “They just weren’t. When you talk about Jordan and his team dominating, they dominated the ’90s. But when you put him with those Lakers teams and those Pistons teams and those Celtics teams, they all beat him. They just did. … What separated Jordan from all of us was he was the first one to three-peat. But he didn’t three-peat against Magic, Larry and Dr. J.”
Do you think Thomas was shading MJ, or were those his honest rankings? Have you been watching The Last Dance?
