honey lost in the first quarter I think in a series like this you also have to
find a way to get some cheap baskets this execution is key big fat bomber
great shot Thomas despite excellent defense by Jordan
this is the NBA on NBC Jordan had a moment where he fell out with Isiah
Thomas and the backstory to all this is and led to him telling them do not bring
Isiah Thomas on the dream team and take a look at what the response was from
Isiah about what's going on in the documentary and the dream team mr.
Isaiah says now you know it wasn't his true actions then you know there's time
enough to think about it or the reaction of the public has changed his
perspective you can show me anything you want there's no way you can convince me
he wasn't a blank have we had the opportunity to do it all over again
I think all of us would make a different decision now me myself personally I paid
a heavy price for that decision and that decision heavy price he's talking about
he missed out on being a dream team they took John stopped and imagined Johnson
over him and had Joe Dumars for crying out loud as the backup over Isiah Thomas
T streams and Michael Jordan go too far or is this just a case of the rich and
powerful get all the spoils you know you can't take anything away from Jordan he
was good he left work on basketball for as long as basketball will remain being
played in United States of America but what he did was excuse my language but
what he did was a fun boy move T screams is the Detroit guy I just go to pay some
people I just want to put that out there now Detroit guy right fight words for
some people huh I'm gonna tell you this because when you look at it Bulls all
the way back to the championship game where they swept us all right Detroit
leads Detroit leads Auditorium don't shake the hand still all right you
had the highest level of competition if somebody on take your hand man why'd we
go yeah so he can play basketball with us overseas and I'm just I mean it may
have been like that verbatim but were you looking that's how I would played
because you know but I wanted to shake his hanging at the end of the primers
you already got the trophy in the anomalous everything stuff
why didn't you shake somebody somebody off of a team and at that time you know
you you really were you really wasn't even at the total height of you little
situation either and so you know if you if you finish if you go back and watch
the documentary or or the statement at least at Isiah Thomas said you know
it'll it'll really share some light you know he would do was really being you
know and for him to drag it on it's been over 20 25 years now been longer than
that and so for him to drag that on and still hold the grudge because you didn't
want to shake your hand Michael Jordan you in a but boy let Larry let me give
it to you before they kick us off at E Street Jordans being as petty as 50 cent
and Donald Trump and is it justified for him to be this petty to this day to this
day all right well let me let me say this here's here's the thing it's sort
of a catch-22 right part of me feels like as far as taking him as far as
taking Isaiah Thomas to put him on the dream team and going to the Olympics the
Olympic Games itself is a is a a sporting event a larger sporting event
or you know a tournament that is based on the foundations of good sportsmanship
it was sort of a way that nations can come together and they can avoid war by
having sport and that's I mean those were sore the original foundations of
the Olympic Games now if you're worried that somebody is not a good sportsman
and you don't want them on the on your team because they're not a good
sportsman and they don't exhibit good sportsmanship that is that is a
legitimate reason not to want somebody however however if you are also not
showing good sportsmanship by not actually forgiving somebody or saying
hey this is a good player let's reach out to them let's be good sports about
it and trying to hash out our differences is also not being the best
sport so it's sort of a catch-22 but in the in the end the reality of it was is
that Jordan was the man at the time he was the one that got to call the shots
because he could have just simply said it's either Isaiah or me and they would
have said okay cool we're taking you and leave an Isaiah home and I don't know if
that's what happened but if it came to that I'm sure that that's very easily
what could have happened so I mean III think that I think ultimately as a
competitor you should want the very best players on your team whether you like
them or not you know no that's not him I think is
maybe I mean at the same time here II I'm sure you realize we just don't need
him you know I mean our team is stacked we just don't need them and they didn't
I mean they obliterated their competition they just simply didn't need
them it's like did they mean Christian Laettner no but you know they needed a
college player so he was there the bad story on on what happened with the dream
team now this was written by someone who covers the Chicago Bulls so this could
be a whole lot of icing on this Michael Jordan cake the back story is it wasn't
just that Jordan didn't want him most of the people on the team didn't want Isiah
because they felt like he was a bad boy he was been a cancer in the locker room
what whatever but if it came down to Michael
Jordan really was holding a grudge over the handshake thing I give Michael
Jordan no credence on that because the year before that incident when the
Pistons got rid of Larry Bird and the crew Larry Bird and that crew walked off
without shaking hands and ain't nobody think of it so I'm kind of I'm kind of
with tea streams on that one if it's that Teddy why in the hell didn't
Michael Jordan get mad and be like well I don't want Larry Bird cuz he's not a
good sportsman either right but here's your change Murray don't take that when
you don't shake the hand of the bad boys it's not looked at as you did something
horrible because you're dissing the bad boys but when you're the bad boys and
you don't shake the hands of the good guys then people look at you differently
you know oh and also you you own that Michelle Obama when they go low we
supposed to go high I mean essentially yeah but when you don't go high people
look at you a certain kind of way you know when we gonna learn our lesson
about that you bout to make me say a bad word Larry I'm starting from scratch
with we gonna learn our lesson about now you start from scratch I mean every
episode down TT screams finish off finish off segment one for us by the way
subscribe my people and super chat I got new sound and visual graphics for those
that super chat I'll let you peek all right cool
so you know at the end of the day man it really just a douche co-op Eddie Jordan
here and four for one here it is everybody now they own the their own on
the higher side of their their 50s crawling you know crawling into their
60s and you still talking about something that happened at the end of 80
at the end of the 80s and then B started the 90s but how many times can can you
think when when Jordan expressed or show unsportsmanlike conduct
on the basketball court with you know with with his mouth you know and
everything and so and the way he the way he reportedly treated somebody hits up
his own teammates so he punched her in the nose and broken yeah so you know it
was a you know it was it was a double Lanza he planned the double standard you
know so I really I liked him as as a ballplayer but you know duty you know as
you know probably as a as a person we probably wouldn't click you know no
because uh do eat yeah but anyway I would imagine it's hard because when you
get to that when you get to that level you have a humongous ego because
everyone's saying you're the greatest you're the greatest that ever was you're
the greatest play in the game and you're actually backing all that up it's not
like there's just some it's not like his hype it actually is and it probably you
know it goes to your head after a while and it starts to change how you behave
you know and and when everybody's sitting there going along with it I mean
you could just say I don't want somebody on this team or I'm angry at somebody
and other people will get mad okay well he's angry at him it must be a
legitimate reason for him I'm okay with that
you know but to be honest with you anybody who's still mad about something
that happened on a basketball court 20 years ago no that's just just petty
leave it be I mean I understand in the moment in the league while you're still
playing but 20 years later I mean they should be friends at this point they
should be sitting around drinking friggin 40-year old scotch and talking
about the good old days you know should be should be on but you know male ego
can be a faint ja Rule and 50 cent ain't cool I don't ever see Hillary and Bill
Clinton being cool with Donald Trump and it don't ever look like this mess with
Isiah Thomas and my but you know like a lot of the other players didn't want him
on the team I think that yeah yeah he promised Lee they were the bad boys they
played hard they found are they played hard they played dirty
but the thing is is that when that's how they played with their against other
teams he's not gonna be that way to his own teammates because that's what that's
how they played with their competition you know so well here's the here's the
point Steven gray made that's legit Isaiah Thomas kept Michael Jordan out of
the all-star game his rookie year and that's kind of another point where the
beef began between the two whitey how do you keep him out of the all-star game I
guess he went and told the coaches don't let this little young whippersnapper get
into all-star game we're not gonna have him so Michael Jordan's rookie year he
didn't make the all-star game and the allegation is that Isiah Thomas was the
big tree leader for that when did they start when did they start the rising
stars or the rookie all-star game man that's been since the 2000 era okay yeah
yeah that's crazy I didn't realize that that Isiah did that's a straight bitch
move right there if that's what happened I mean I know
I'm just saying I mean if you're a rookie and you're coming in and you're
gonna make the all-star game as a rookie and some dude just is is is upset with
you for whatever reason and decides to dunk straight they basically just cock
block you from getting on the all-star team huh I would I think I might have
some lingering resentment over there too I might be like help him you know yeah
but like you said and at this point man just let it go man and all y'all almost
retirement is hell some of y'all walking around with a cane out agree at this
point they should be okay when I guess what I mean lingering you know
resentment when it came time to keep him off of a team like keeping them off the
off the the dream team then I might be like okay yeah you know guess what I'm
cool I just got a gold medal and you didn't you got you know I still
went I still eventually went on to become an all-star and I still have you
know multiple VIP you know VIP trophies and and all-star appearances and I have
a gold medal and you didn't get to be on that dream team because you basically
played the bitch move I'm icy on my on my
two years so I mean I can I can see why that stuff kind of goes back and forth
you know but you know like we were saying at this point they should be
sitting around you know watching old films together drinking scotch and just
hanging out chilling and talking about how they were dumb young kids and and
you know cuz it wasn't like even then even even though Isaiah was a so-called
vet dude retired at 32 he wasn't that old
you
