Is Isiah Thomas Right About Rivalry With Michael Jordan?: Unchecked

Isiah Thomas certainly seems bitter towards Michael Jordan but he’s not completely wrong.

I do take some umbrage with him ranking MJ as only the fifth-toughest player he ever faced. You don’t want to go full Paul Pierce when talking about a historically superior rival.

Perhaps the word “dominant” and dismissing Jordan as even being competition is a little much. Google the “Jordan Rules”.

However, he and the Pistons did get the best of Michael more often than they didn’t. 3-1 is 3-1 even if people like to pretend Jordan never lost in the playoffs.
