The new year is here, folks. While the typical greeting wishes for a happy, wholesome start flooded the internet, for Isiah Thomas, the beginning was in no way pleasant. Due to some shoddy work at the airport, Thomas had to miss out on a special NBA TV appearance. As a result, the Detroit Pistons legend was understandably upset. “I experienced a level of incompetence and disrespect @Delta #HPN airport today on my way to work”, he complained on his social media handle.

“To all my fans who were looking forward to seeing me on @NBATV tonight you can blame @Delta for not letting me on the flight which I had a paid ticket and seat assignment. Happy 2024″. The 2x NBA Champion was not happy with the treatment. Frankly, it’s hard to blame him. Even though the entire story isn’t out, a paid ticket and seat assignment should typically not cause any issues. But, alas, that isn’t the case here. For fans tuning in to NBA TV for a glimpse at Zeke, it will be a disappointing night. For their part, the $25.89 billion worth airline, was quick in their response, asking for many details to rectify the situation.

But, the message reeking of auto-generation might be the worst route to assuage Isiah Thomas’ anger. “Hello Isiah, thanks for reaching out today and we regret to hear about this experience. Our goal is to provide the highest possible standard of service in all areas of our operations, and I am sorry we failed to meet your expectations. Please DM if we can assist you.”

Fans, however, poked some fun at Isiah’s fate with some Michael Jordan memes.

However, the reality of the situation remains that Isiah Thomas and his team had their way with Michael. But, due to common perceptions, the usual belief is far different. As a result, looking at his outburst, fans were quick to respond with some memes involving the Bulls legend.

Whether it was photoshopping an image of Michael on an airport personnel that even drew a response from Delta, or MJ watching a clip meme from The Last Dance documentary, the comments were nothing but hilarious.

Later on, Thomas was ready to provide some additional information. When a fan asked him whether he arrived late on the scene, Isiah would clear the air. “Yes I was on time for @Delta
flight took pictures and signed autographs for gate agents. Ticket in hand went through security no issues. 2 hours before take off. Stop with the I was late narrative #Facts only don’t make it up. I hope all passengers are treated respectfully.”

Let’s hope the situation has a peaceful and amicable remedy. Happy 2024!
