Isiah Thomas’ savage response to Stephen A. Smith’s latest Michael Jordan shoot

“This guy called me a jerk on national, international television, a guy who was really nice to him,” Thomas said during his appearance. “Until he apologized on international television, there was no dialogue. You can’t apologize and have a private dinner when you publicly embarrass me. If you didn’t mean it, say it publicly. Now, if you mean it, Then let it stand up. “I’m happy with that. “

Stephen A. Smith joins this discussion via his podcast The Stephen A. Smith Show.

“Isiah Thomas is a dearly beloved friend of mine. Always has been and always will be. Let’s go back decades. I also love my brother Michael Jordan very much. So, I’m somewhere in the middle on this one, Just giving you the facts I know. Michael Jordan doesn’t give a shit. He doesn’t care if he ever talks to Isiah Thomas again in his life. He doesn’t like him, period. Michael Jordan vs. Isiah Thomas Thomas’ feelings go back to the days of their rivalry, when Michael Jordan was rising as a member of the Chicago Bulls and Isiah Thomas was winning championships and competing for championships… Jordan never had, and never will, a championship .Something sweaty. In his mind, that’s what it was.”

Smith continued, “I love when Isiah Thomas quoted Draymond Green. In fact, I’m proud of my man for saying that. You know why? Because I believe Isiah was in his Cares too much after his career is over. He will eventually become a shareholder, coach, president of basketball operations, etc. As a businessman, Isiah Thomas is definitely a talented businessman who always creates opportunities and makes things happen .Personally, I feel like Isiah Thomas cares too much about what Jordan or anyone else has to say. If someone doesn’t like you or thinks you’re a problem, just forget about them. They won’t make your life any better Tough; they just make your life harder. They’re just one less person to worry about. You know where they stand and move on.”

Thomas responded to Smith on his Twitter/X account, citing Smith’s live tweets from his show starting Friday.

“My life is not focused on beef, but the media and people like you keep bringing it up, so I respond. In fact, you invited me to talk about it on your show last week and I declined Yes, I’m fine!!”

This seems likely to turn into a larger disagreement, as Smith is likely to respond via his social media platforms or his podcast on Monday.
