“I Never Heard It from Michael Jordan”: Hurt by ‘The Last Dance’ Betrayal, Isiah Thomas Still Seeks an Apology
Follow Us
Years after the release of the legendary docuseries The Last Dance, Detroit Pistons legend Isiah Thomas still seeks an apology from Michael Jordan. After the release of the docuseries in 2020, it went under the scanner for a lot of controversies. Several Chicago Bulls teammates had issues with their portrayal and representation. Similarly, the 2x NBA Champion called out Jordan in a recent interview and sought an apology for his portrayal.
The NBA world considered the late 1980s Detroit Pistons as the archrivals of the Chicago Bulls. The rough-playing nature of the Pistons fetched them the title Bad Boys Pistons. However, the two times champion Detroit side didn’t have a fairy tale ending, as MJ’s bulls put an end to the dominant Pistons in 1991. Notably, the docuseries dedicated an episode to them and discussed the legendary rivalry.
