Isiah Thomas: Michael Jordan's 'Undeserving Champions' Comments 'Cut Deep'

Megan ArmstrongMay 20, 2020

Isiah Thomas and Michael Jordan's rivalry was revisited during the 10-episode of The Last Dance on ESPN from April 19 through May 17. 

The Hall of Fame Detroit Pistons point guard disclosed a hurtful exchange he had with Jordan following Game 3 of the 1991 Eastern Conference Finals during an appearance with Fox Sports 1's Speak For Yourself on Wednesday:

Jordan's Chicago Bulls swept the Pistons, and the Bad Boys' decision to walk off the court without shaking hands was highlighted during Episode 4 of The Last Dance:

Detroit was the reigning back-to-back NBA champion.

Once the Bulls finally got past Thomas and the Pistons, they upset Magic Johnson's Los Angeles Lakers 4-1 to capture the first of Jordan's six championships.

The Last Dance orbited around the 1997-98 Bulls' title run, marking the end of their 1990s dynasty.

Chicago achieved its first three-peat from 1991-93 before a repeat three-peat from 1996-98. Detroit would not make it back to the Finals until 2004.

Jordan announced his retirement after the Bulls topped the Utah Jazz 4-2 in the '98 Finals, though the 57-year-old Hall of Famer returned with the Washington Wizards from 2001-03 before calling it quits for good.

Thomas played for the Pistons for the entirety of his career from 1981 through 1994.
