As great as MJ was, he's a billion times more of a douche bag than LeBron could ever be.

Nah dude, he was just INSANELY competitive, had that MASSIVE killer instinct...

Yeah, sadly 99% of NBA players are HUGE douchebags.

It's that asshole in him which is what made him the GOAT. He wasn't going to take shit from anybody and, in fact, he was going to make sure you ate his shit. If you didn't like it, he doesn't care. But you better acknowledge he is better than you.

LeBron is a *****.

[RaininTwos]

Thats so f*cked up

[G-train]

Thomas reaped what he sowed, and he knows it.

[Sarcastic]

Jordan was the greatest player, and the greatest douche. Both at the same time.

[Haymaker]

Yup. Thomas treated MJ like scum.

[TheBigVeto]

Bitch got pwned. Serves him right.

I think MJ was the scapegoat. He said the decision for Isiah to be left off the team was presented to him before he was involved and even said it felt like a decision made by the higher ups.

MJ played golf with Isiah's coach every day during the Olympics. He never had a problem with it.

He and Horace Grant despised each other for years, but it never stopped them from winning titles together.

He signed off on Dennis Rodman joining the team and won 3 titles with him.

He and Doug Collins had a rocky relationship near the end of Collin's tenure as Bulls head coach...yet MJ chose to play for him in Washington years later.

That doesn't mean MJ wanted Isiah on the team, I just don't think he was the one that kept him off. The Isiah decision was personal. There's only one guy that had a personal beef with Isiah and it was Magic Johnson who admitted as much in his book.. Anyone else find it interesting that Magic was never even asked about Isiah???

I have a hard time believing that even the biggest Lebron hater can't see this. Jordan's like Ty Cobb in that he was an amazing player, but absolute dogshit as a person.

Isiah walking off the court before the last ECF game was over didn't help his cause. If i remember right Dumars stayed on the court and congratulated the Bulls.

Agreed. This was about more than Jordan. As I wrote in another thread on this topic, Bird and Magic didn't like Isiah either. Karl Malone and Scotty Pippen didn't want him on the team. Heck, Barkley called the Pistons A**holes in the documentary!


This was about much more than just Jordan.

Here is Karl Malone decking Isiah Thomas
