i was reading on wiki that the reason why Thomas was not added to the dream team is because Jordan said no?

Everyone hated Thomas. They felt he was the ring leader of the bad boys from Detroit. Jordan and Pippen said that they wouldn't play for Team USA if Thomas was on it.

In good humor, the HC of the dream team was from the Pistons; they got along great.

Supposedly, during Jordan's first All-Star game, Thomas conspired to freeze out Jordan and not give him the ball because he felt Jordan was brash and arrogant.

And Jordan can hold a grudge for a long time as evidenced by his Hall of Fame speech.

And the Pistons walked off the court with time remaining when the Bulls swept them out of the playoffs.

Jordan hated everybody. Picking on Thomas was just an ego thing. He was going to show the world how important he was by influencing the roster.

Not everyone hated Isaih. Magic kissed him.

Don't forget that it was Isiah that said "If Larry Bird was black, he'd be just another good player."

"I have no problem saying this at all. [Larry and Magic were] 6-(feet)-9 and Jordan was 6-6 and a half. If they were all 6-1, it wouldn't even be a question. They wouldn't even ****ing rate. If they were all my size, ****, they wouldn't even be talked about.

"I beat the **** out of them when they were that big. If we were all the same size, ****. Make them 6-1 and let's go on the court."


Malone's opinion of Isiah:

I wish our football team could hit like Malone. That was nice.
