Michael Jordan accumulated many rivals during his time in the NBA, and some are even continuing to this day.
Isiah Thomas and Jordan’s Ongoing Rivalry
Earlier this week, Isiah Thomas and Jordan added a new chapter to their rivalry. The two clashed multiple times in the 1980s and ’90s, and still take shots at each other. Recently, the Detroit Pistons legend made sure to set the record straight when praising the Chicago Bulls star.
Setting the Record Straight on a Twitter Post
When a Twitter post went viral of a Michael Jordan game against the “Bad Boy” Pistons, Thomas made sure to tell the whole story. While everyone was praising Jordan for his performance in the regular season, it was Thomas as the Pistons who went to the NBA Finals that year.
Thomas Defending the Pistons’ Legacy
Isiah Thomas continues to defend the legacy of the Pistons and remind fans of their successes during the era of Jordan’s dominance. As a result, their rivalry persists even long after both of them have retired from playing basketball.
