The Last Dance docuseries that was released in 2020 was a major hit. Fans around the world loved every bit of information about NBA legend Michael Jordan and the iconic Chicago Bulls team. It was a massive refresher about Jordan’s abilities for the older generation that watched him play. Also, to the younger generation, it pointed out some reasons why MJ is considered the GOAT by many. However, the series had its fair share of critics as well. Especially, one of the six-time NBA champion’s biggest rivals, Isiah Thomas.

Isiah and Jordan had a massive beef during their time as opponents. The Detroit Pistons were a major hurdle in MJ’s quest for the first title for years. However, he finally overcame the Pistons’ obstacle and won the ring. However, the beef was still there. There were also reports that Jordan was the reason Isiah was snubbed for the 1992 Dream Team. However, it looked like things have calmed down in the years since their retirement. But things went south quickly after the release of the docuseries.

Isiah Thomas calls out Michael Jordan

The Hall of Famer said that he was actually excited to watch the docuseries to understand the team that beat him and the Detroit Pistons. However, he was then shocked by Jordan’s comments about him.
