Dream Team players talked about the importance of team chemistry and cohesion. Isaiah Thomas and Bad Boy`s play made Jordan, Bird, and virtually every other players uncomfortable in the league, and team chemistry would have suffered had he been on the Dream Team. This is why Chuck Daly, the coach of the Dream Team and also the coach of the bad boys, was not in favor of Isiah joining the Dream Team.
You have to realize that nobody on the team liked him. He would have ruined the chemistry. It was his own fault. The Pistons played dirty. They tried to injure their opponents. It wasn't just hard basketball. It was hammer the guy coming down the lane. Lamber would put his foot under the player coming down trying to roll their ankle. Bird, Jordan , Magic and many other top players talk about this. The Pistons didn't care if they ended a career. Hitting a guy when he's in the air going for a dunk is dangerous because of how they can land. Isiah was the Captain and part of this.
He was neither snubbed nor rubbed. He conducted himself in a certain way throughout his career, which made most players on the Dream Team not to want to team up with him. If he has any complaints, he should direct them to himself.
It wasn't MJ alone. Magic was supposed to be his best friend and didn't want him there. Chuck Daly was his headcoach and didn't want there. Bobby Knight was his coppege HC and didn't want him there.
Isiah was never snubbed. He was an ahole, and he happened to play in the era that the best player in history played. I've said it for years, Isiah is sore that MJ is the "son" of Chicago. That's what this has ALWAYS been about from the start. He pissed off Jordan, and even if Jordan DID keep him off the team, it's because Jordan said you want me, no Isiah. So you have a choice, the best player in history, or some nasty ass. Jordan put it out there, the powers that be decided to keep the better player. So Isiah EARNED his punishment. Kudo's for Jordan to put down the ultimatum. End of story. He needs to get over himself.
Thomas deserved what he didn't get. It was beyond unprofessional to not shake hands after the sweep. Jordan always manned up and did that. That act, along with the Pistons trying to injure other players, led to the snub. I wouldn't want to play with that guy, either.
John Stockton, if I'm not mistaken, is the all-time leading assist man. For that team, he didn't play too much and he didn't lead the best team in history in assists. Scottie Pippen did. What does that mean? It means Zeke wasn't a necessity. Set aside the part where the other players didn't want him. The fact is that his own coach knew how to work with the point guard for Chicago.
That's a lie, the same media that kissed MJ ass is the same one that has been attacking Lebron for the past 21 years and that's why Lebron supporters because we know he has always been plotted against since he been in the league and don't worry lebron will be the all time scoring leader for the rest of your life 😎
Jordan is whole he's teammates Bulls start Pippen &Grant greg H most of them don't like but the great Isiah Thomas he's teammates most of them like him and I'm not Detroit pistons fan I'm a Seattle Supersonic fan but a student basketball who played high-school late 80s celtics didn't shake hands pistons when they beat them but Jordan Bulls cry about hand shake that's crazy
The Reality: You cannot be presented to have character and integrity when you go out of your way to prevent a man from representing his country in his field -- you do that, you are not someone that anyone can trust .... Jordan just hates anyone that beats him more than Jordan can beat someone else. No matter what Michael Jordan says or how he tries to depict Isiah Thomas via the media (Jordan's allies), Jordan cannot say that at the highest level, he defeated Isiah Thomas more than Thomas beat him. From 1988-1990, Isiah Thomas was 26-9 against Michael Jordan including eliminating him 3 straight seasons in the playoffs .... In 1990-91, Isiah Thomas missed 34 games with scaphoid surgery on his right shooting wrist as the Pistons had 5 of their 8-man rotation injured, yet played through it went 50-32 and lost the season series 3-2 to Chicago while being swept in the 1991 Eastern Conference Finals .... So how did this even occur? Isiah Thomas took only 9 shots in game 1 and 9 shots in game 2 of the 1991 ECF; Bill Laimbeer took just 7 shots in game 1 and 2 shots in game 2 while Joe Dumars took just 10 shots in game 1 and 10 shots in game 3 while Chuck Daly (Dream Team Coach) played John Salley just 9 minutes in game 2 while playing James Edwards only 11 minutes in game 2 and just 9 minutes in game 3. So if your coach doesn't play your front court players and your scorers do not shoot, will you win or lose? Plus, the officials gave Chicago a 117-76 foul shot attempt advantage from games 1-3, so even if both teams shot 100% from the foul line, no way Detroit could have won any of those first 3 games, that's just mathematics. This is what happened. Isiah Thomas 3, Michael Jordan 1, and the one Jordan got, Thomas gave to him.
I liked how you minimized the origin by whom that, "if Bird was black...", statement was originally made. By now, everyone knows that it was Dennis Rodman who made that statement and Isaiah Thomas merely concurred when the reporter asked him about Rodman's statement, so in a way you are kind of full of s*it and a bit disingenuous on that detail. However, I.T. did not help himself was a fool for following Bill Lambeer's insistence that he, I.T. and team not shake hands and just walk off, because I believe Joe Dumars did shake hands and did congratulate the Bulls after Pistons loss. Isaiah Thomas was tarnished for ridiculing the great white man, then, he blindly followed another not so great white man off the cliff.
Skill wise yes, chemistry wise no. Daly didn’t even want him on the team.

I wouldn't say "deserve" per say, but Isiah had beef with at least half the team. It's called bad Karma.

He wasnt snubbed...😂 Jordan said if he plays I'm not! 😅😅😅
True!
It wasn't MJ alone. Magic was supposed to be his best friend and didn't want him there. Chuck Daly was his headcoach and didn't want there. Bobby Knight was his coppege HC and didn't want him there.

I'm glad they left him out. and i smile everytime i see that clip of him & most of his teamates walking off the court when Chicago swept them😂😂🤣🤣
@@jimmyraidjames The Pistons were better than the Bulls when they were in their prime, and Jordan couldn't handle that.
@bitcrafter the hate started in 1984 Olympics when Bobby Knight said Jordan was the best player he coaches
Jordan didn't want him on the team, and they did not need him pount blank.
Thomas deserved what he didn't get. It was beyond unprofessional to not shake hands after the sweep. Jordan always manned up and did that. That act, along with the Pistons trying to injure other players, led to the snub. I wouldn't want to play with that guy, either.

The Celtics did it to the Pistons first. No one ever mention that.
He call Bird s JAGG. He snubbed himself✌️
he bullies jordan so jordan bullies him too but in a professional way
You mean childess instead of professional
Bad boys ☠️

HAHAHAHAHA! You’re delusional
All I saw was Lebron paying the media to smear Jordan instead.
LeBron is a great player just like Cal Ripken Jr. in MLB,would you say Cal Ripken Jr. is the GOAT of MLB？

Definitely my favourite basketball player, kind of a bad person though :/
