Mike Jordan blackballing Isiah from Dream Team

[BarberSchool]

For sake of argument/poll, lets assume Isaiah was actually better than Stockton in 1992 (pro-tip: he wasn't), and Magic (he was, but c'mon Magic&Bird on the world stage was part of the sell).

Also for sake of argument, let's assume that Chuck Daly was lobbying hard for his HOF PG to lead the iconic fast breaks on the 1992 Dream team on the World stage, in the effort that set the table, for the game we know and love, to truly blow up on an international level...

Who here amongst us, supports Mike vengefully boycotting/blackballing Isaiah sweet @ss from the dream team, if for no other reason than "F#@k Isaiah Thomas" ?

As someone who has always found Isaiah Thomas personality&mindset dishonest, annoying, unintelligent, and reprehensible, I support any and all action which further hinders his already great legacy.

Where do y'all stand ?

Quick minor friendly note: He's Isiah, not Isaiah.

The only one that wanted Isiah on that team was his butt buddy Magic.

They both have the same sweet-as-al-b-sure smile, and have had distastefully cringeworthy homoerotic moments captured in public, that no one with a functioning gaydar could ignore.

I support the rights of the community, and appreciate magic's personality and dignity, but brother went raw with some dudes at some of those 80's LA orgies for sure.

Isiah deserved it but don't cross the goat..

Isiah froze him out of the 85' ASG, so MJ got him back.. took him 7 years to get him back, but he got him

Btw, all-star games were a big deal back then, and to MJ:

But perhaps my seething disdain for Isaiah Thomas, forces me to mispell his name to dishonor his mother's questionable taste/literacy, as a subtle detail in said seething disdain ? IDK.

Probably

I'm sure 85' wasn't the only time Isiah crossed MJ

Tbh, Isiah must've been crossing everyone because pippen hates him too.. like, there's some kind of deep-seeded history with these guys because these guys get SERIOUS when talking about Isiah.. it's all fun and games in an interview with MJ and pip... Until you mention Isiah.. then it gets REAL AWKWARD.. I've never seen anything like it.. I wonder what that ***** did

Only post you'll probably ever write that I might agree with.

He deserved to be there, and i hated him then I actually feel like it damaged his legacy not being there in terms of how he's remembered. Mike and Scottie despised him because he was the general of their most bitter rivals and it went even deeper for Mike as they had a longer history of petty beef over the years even before then.

I made a thread like this years ago and I still admit that this is what i didn't like about my favorite NBA player aka the GOAT Michael Jordan :facepalm

He stats cool at all times, so for Pippen to fervently hate Isaiah says alot. I don't think it's all basketball. Not at all.

Imagine the little dumb sweet@ss n!gga at school who also starts the most beef ? Who likes that n!gga ? Nobody
