Michael Jordan and Isiah Thomas have been involved in one of the most heated feuds in NBA history. The Chicago Bulls and Detroit Pistons legends have nothing in common.
These two were passionate rivals, and it was always evident on the court. That desire to succeed and beat everyone else is most likely what ignited their feud. Both players have never seen eye to eye, as made evident.

Skip Bayless said Michael Jordan would never agree to resolve his rivalry with Isiah Thomas
Skip Bayless responded to the feud between the two Hall of Famers on the Undisputed show. He said that Jordan would never sit down with Thomas to work things out.
Jordan, according to Bayless, is not as polite as LeBron James. He also stated that his tenacity is what made him a “cold-blooded basketball killer,” and that he still is.
Thomas called out Michael Jordan on social media and reignited their feud. He recalled a story in which Michael Jordan revealed how he believed his rivalry with Thomas began at the 1985 All-Star Game.
Stop lying this story is not factual or accurate, tell the truth man. Dr.J, Moses Malone, Larry Bird, Sidney Moncrief and I did not freeze you out. If memory serves me correct I was injured most of the second half and Bird had a broken nose. Magic and Sampson dominated the game. https://t.co/B000xZ2VGO

Michael Jordan is right. Isiah Thomas is wrong. Now on @undisputed
