Isiah Thomas has clearly not forgiven Michael Jordan for his NSFW remark on national television and now wants the Chicago Bulls star to apologize on the same medium.
Speaking on Showtime’s ‘All The Smoke’ with Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson, the Detroit Pistons guard shed light on his beef with Jordan. “I just want some people to be honest,” Thomas said.
“I got no problem sitting down, talking with anybody. I live with love, peace, truth, honesty, and courage, I stand on my square. I’m upright. I’d sit in any chair, and I’d talk to anybody. But some people, they ain’t telling the truth.”
“You got on national television and you called me an a****e, and then you said you hated me,” he further added. “You said that on national television. Now, if you didn’t mean it, get on national television and apologize for it. Now, if you meant it, let it ride as it is.”

This isn’t the first time Thomas brought up the topic of Jordan calling him an a*****e on ‘The Last Dance.’ Previously, the guard had spoken about it on the Pivot Podcast while also sharing how he was once close to MJ.
It should be worth noting that the ESPN and Netflix documentary was also the Bulls icon’s way of getting back at people, and he didn’t pull any of his punches then.
Isiah Thomas Mocked Michael Jordan For Complaining To David Stern Over Hard Fouls
The long-standing feud between Isiah Thomas and Michael Jordan isn’t about to simmer anytime soon. Not especially after he mocked the Bulls superstar for complaining to the then-NBA commissioner David Stern for being fouled hard.
“Jordan, every time you hit him, he was crying,” Isiah told Boston Celtics’ Cedric Maxwell on the Cedric Maxwell Podcast. “I was going to David Stern’s office, going to the commissioner’s office, having a meeting about getting hit and getting fouled, and then changing the rules.”

Jordan, as the main target for the Detroit Pistons also infamously labeled as the league’s “Bad Boys” for their pure and brutal physical style of basketball. ‘The Jordan Rules’ was a four-prong plan the side used to keep MJ quiet, and safe to say, it worked to an extent.
The Pistons tamed the Bulls for three consecutive playoffs from 1988 to 1990, but Jordan did have the last laugh when he and Chicago dished out just as much as they received in 1991.
And the legend made sure he rubbed it in on Thomas’ face on ‘The Last Dance’ while also calling him out in a manner the latter didn’t appreciate.
