Michael Jordan and Isiah Thomas don’t get along. They’ve always hated each other’s guts, and their beef might as well be one of the reasons why Zeke isn’t mentioned often when talking about the greatest players in NBA history.

Needless to say, that’s not fair to Thomas, one of the greatest two-way guards this game has ever seen and a relentless winner who dominated the league for years. However, his petty attitude and constant need for validation have driven some fans away.

But Thomas insists that he’s not the bad guy in this story. In his recent appearance in Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson’s All The Smoke, he once again claimed to be mistreated by Michael Jordan.

Isiah Thomas Claims Michael Jordan Asked Him To Be On The Last Dance

“When you see that meme, you see me dressed in a three-piece suit,” Thomas started. “There’s another thing I gotta say about Mike. His producer and Mike, they called me, ‘We need you in a video, can’t tell my story without you; you’re so important’. Now I am thinking we are all cool. I dressed up, I’m sitting in a three-piece suit, I brought my partner with me, he was in the interview.”

“We actually did it at NBA TV,” Thomas continues. “Sat there for two hours, and said a lot of good stuff. Last Dance comes out and, that’s it? I am dressed to the nines, I didn’t come here in a sweatsuit today, I am giving you respect. I will show up the right way because I got respect for you. I showed up the right way for that dude and I showed up and did the interview. And that’s what you do to me? I like the meme, I’m not gonna front on that, at least I was dressed nice.”

Thomas wasn’t actually portrayed as a bad guy in the documentary; he’s just Jordan’s nemesis. But hey, it doesn’t seem like he’s ever going to let go of these grudges, it doesn’t matter how much time goes by.

Patrick Mahomes Makes Shocking Confession About Travis Kelce & Taylor Swift

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce may have won over Taylor Swift’s heart with his charming personality and looks, but teammate Patrick Mahomes believes he deserves some credit for helping the power couple come together.

Patrick Mahomes’ Chiefs received plenty more media coverage and attention than usual in 2023, and not just because they won another Super Bowl. It was largely thanks to Kelce’s relationship with the Grammy Award-winning singer that went public last fall.

Swift attended the majority of Chiefs games in 2023, including their entire postseason run that ended with a victory over the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl 58.

During his appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show”, Patrick Mahomes made an interesting confession for Kelce: The two-time league MVP claims that he was the one who got the ball rolling on the Kelce-Swift thing:

“I like to take some of the credit. I was the one who invited Travis to his first Taylor concert…He was sitting in my suite, so I feel like I was the matchmaker. I had some input in there… ‘Just go for it. Just go for it.’ And you know Travis man, he does it…I’m glad it’s all worked out for the best.”

They haven’t been together for a full year yet, but there’s already speculation that Kelce will soon propose to Swift. Multiple reports have suggested otherwise, but only Kelce and Swift know deep down if that’s on the table right now.
