Just a few days after the NBA 75 celebrations, Isiah Thomas took to ESPN to try and create a rift between the two. Thomas got on First Take and tried to make a case for why LeBron James should be considered the GOAT. Everyone who watches basketball knows what Michael Jordan did, why he’s the GOAT, and rightfully so. However, Thomas did his best to make a case for LBJ.

People who are familiar with the NBA of the ’80s and 90s know about the Bad Boy Pistons. The Detriot Pistons of the late 80s and early 90s were an unstoppable force, with Isiah Thomas at the helm. However, Michael Jordan put an end to their reign of terror. There has been a lot of bad blood between MJ and Thomas, and clearly, the two aren’t over it.

During his appearance on First Take, Thomas argued that LeBron is certainly the GOAT, as soon as he crosses Kareem Abdul-Jabbar on the scoring list.

Well, NBA Twitter can see right through what Thomas is trying to do, and called him out for the same.

Isiah Thomas didn’t talk to Michael Jordan during the NBA 75 ceremony and he got to witness Michael Jordan get that huge cheer from the crowd. He’s going to push any agenda he can that will help diminish MJ’s greatness. He’s using LeBron for this now.
