The rivalry between the Chicago Bulls and the Detroit Pistons was the highlight of the Eastern Conference during the late 80\u2019s and early 90\u2019s. It sprouted another, more intense rivalry, between\u00a0Michael Jordan\u00a0and Isiah Thomas. Zeke has been vocal about his feelings towards the Bulls, particularly MJ. While IT never liked Jordan, he has always been honest about Jordan\u2019s game, giving credit where it is due.<\/p>\n

While appearing on the sports talk show, \u2018The Bounce\u2019, once Thomas recalled feeling\u00a0\u201cfear\u201d<\/em>\u00a0while matching up against the GOAT,<\/p>\n

\u201cWe was just all scared of Jordan\u2026when you sell me against him, yeah I get a little hot\u2026His regular season average against the Pistons was 37.5 points and then some nights he would get hot.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Jordan knew pretty well that it was only a matter of time before his Bulls overthrew the Pistons, en route to claiming their seat atop the Eastern Conference. Once Jordan swept the Pistons in 1991, His Airness sat down with\u00a0Play Boy Magazine\u00a0to detail his victory over his long-time rivals. Talking about the 1991 series, Jordan and his interviewer had the following conversation,<\/p>\n

\u201cPlayboy: Could you see the fear in their eyes?<\/em><\/p>\n

Jordan: Yeah. They couldn\u2019t rattle us. They tried everything to rattle our confidence.<\/em><\/p>\n

Playboy: Such as?<\/em><\/p>\n

Jordan: Throwing punches, throwing guys at you, talking shit. So I\u2019m saying, Well, these guys talk trash all the damn time to everybody. Let\u2019s see if they can handle some trash-talking back to them. So I started taking it to \u2019em\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Jordan and the Bulls would wipe the floor with Isiah Thomas and the Detroit Pistons, as the Bulls went on to win the first Championship of the Jordan Bulls era right after.<\/p>\n

Isiah Thomas wants a sincere apology from Michael Jordan<\/h2>\n

Jordan\u2019s beef with IT\u00a0has been ragging on for some time now. According to Jordan, Isiah and the Detroit Pistons acted like sore losers during the 1991 Eastern Conference Finals, as they walked off the court without shaking hands with the Bulls, which rubbed Jordan the wrong way.<\/p>\n

He even pointed out that during the previous playoff meetings between the teams, the Pistons had always gotten the better of the Bulls, however, Jordan always made sure to exchange pleasantries with Thomas. Jordan did take matters a little too far when he called Zeke an\u00a0\u201ca**hole\u201d<\/em>\u00a0on his 2020 docu-series\u00a0\u2018The Last Dance\u2019<\/em>, with some even hinting at Jordan having a part in IT\u2019s name being struck off the Dream Team in 1993.<\/p>\n

Recently, appearing on \u2018The Draymond Green Show\u2019, Zeke shot back at Jordan for his slanderous remarks about him, even asking No. 23 to apologize for his comments,<\/p>\n

\u201cThis dude got on national television,\u00a0international\u00a0television, and called me an asshole\u2026Somebody who\u2019s been really good to him. And until he apologizes on international television, we\u2014no conversation.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Keeping with his reputation, Jordan has yet to issue an apology to Isiah, with most believing that the 6\u20196\u2033 guard will never apologize to his former nemesis, further solidifying the beef between the two legends.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
