NBA Hall of Famer Isiah Thomas is demanding an apology from Michael Jordan if the GOAT wants to be friends again.
Thomas was asked on The Draymond Green Show about his strained relationship with Jordan, which dates back to the Bulls star’s rookie year when Isiah allegedly advocated for keeping Jordan out of the All-Star Game. A few years later, Jordan got his revenge and was rumored to have blocked Thomas from making the Dream Team.
This led to Jordan calling Isiah Thomas a jerk during the game. last dance docuseries – surprising Thomas as he thought they were friends.
“
“Is your relationship salvageable?” Draymond asked the Pistons Hall of Famer.
“No. This guy (Jordan) called me an asshole on international television. A guy who was really nice to him,” Thomas began. “Unless he apologizes on international television, there won’t be any dialogue. You can’t have a private dinner while apologizing when you publicly embarrass me.”

feelings still hurt
It’s nice to see Isiah apparently moving beyond the accusations Jordan leveled at him, yeah, right.
“If Jordan didn’t mean it, he should say it publicly. If you did, I understand and I’m fine with that,” Thomas oddly added.
Newsflash for Isiah – Jordan is serious about what he says about you, and there’s a reason he hasn’t contacted you in decades – he really thinks you’re an asshole. Sorry to bother you right now, but the billionaire isn’t sending autographed jerseys to your door anytime soon.
Also, Isiah Thomas is 62 years old.
You should have enough life experience to know that not everyone is going to be your friend and there’s nothing you can do about it. He asked Michael Jordan, of all people, to publicly apologize to him, which is crazier than James Dolan hiring Thomas as president of the Knicks in the mid-2000s.
Some things are not worth saving, Isiah. Let it go before the greatest basketball player of all time embarrasses you again.
