It seems the next generation will carry on the Isiah Thomas and Michael Jordan feud. The differences between the two players have now witnessed Marcus Jordan’s involvement. Marcus Jordan got into a banter with Draymond Green over his podcast episode where Zeke was taking swipes at Mike. Even Marcus did not leave a chance to attack Zeke during his banter with Green.

The 33-year-old first shared a friendly taunt in the comments to Green for his podcast with Isiah. “@heirmj523 lol just asking the questions bro,” Green replied. Marcus further commented that he knew what Draymond was doing. “Let these mfs enjoy their rocking chairs. Buddy fishing for a response he never gonna get,” he added.

This came after Thomas’ allegations against Jordan in the podcast. Zeke claims that since he was coaching Mike’s last All-Star game, he convinced Vince Carter to give his starting spot to Jordan. “I never knew this dude (Michael Jordan) felt the way he felt until The Last Dance…I’m like, all these years you’ve been standing behind a tree, throwing stones and letting somebody else take the fall forward,” said Isiah Thomas.

He further mentioned during the podcast that had he known how Mike felt about him, he would have treated the 6x NBA champion differently. Zeke also recollected the time for which he still gets taunts. The time he did not shake Chicago Bulls‘ players’ hands after losing to them, playing for the Detroit Pistons. “The champions, they always left the court. And then they would come into your locker room after the game and shake your hand and say, congratulations,” Thomas explained.

He further stated that Chicago Bulls are still the only champions that cry about somebody not shaking their hands. It is said this was the incident that furthered the then rumored differences between Mike and Isiah.

A look-back into the Michael Jordan-Isiah Thomas feud

The first sparks of the feud are said to have been seen during the 1985 All-Star game. Both Thomas and Jordan were playing on the same side, but the Zeke didn’t pass the ball much to Mike. This was a starting of a rivalry that has continued for over three decades. Jordan’s Bulls losing to Isiah’s Detroit Pistons in playoffs, three years in a row, did not make the situation any better.
