The beef between Michael Jordan and Isiah Thomas doesn’t seem to be ending anytime soon. Things escalated when New York Knicks legend Charles Oakley inserted himself into the ongoing beef between Jordan and Zeke. He came to defend Jordan’s honor by stating that MJ didn’t want to be friends with Thomas. This started a burgeoning beef between Zeke and the Oak Tree. Since then, Thomas has been busy defending himself on Twitter after various incidents from the past were brought up.

In one of his recent tweets, Isiah Thomas opened up about one of his most controversial moments. In the process, he dragged Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, and Larry Bird through the dirt and this invited heavy backlash from fans.
