During the podcast, Thomas made a compelling argument how he can’t respect the players of a team openly ridiculing the president of their team. He further solidified his case for the Bulls being the actual ‘bad boys’ of the 90s, by naming players like Dennis Rodman and John Salley, who were poached by the Bulls. He said, “So the Bad Boys, we were so bad, right? I want you to look at the Chicago Bulls championship teams that had Dennis Rodman, John Salley, James Edwards, Robert Parish, they took half our team, and they was bad for us but good for yall?”
