The beef between Michael Jordan and Isiah Thomas has been going on for YEARS, and there doesn’t seem to be an end in sight.
The most recent part of their beef comes from IT, who was recently on The Pivot Podcast and gave some insight into the beef but the most interesting part came when IT talked about the beginning of his and Jordan’s relationship.
IT, who is from Chicago, says he treated Jordan very well at the beginning of their relationship, where he said he made it easy for Jordan to walk the streets and had his family take care of him.
“Now, this is real talk; go back and document it. You can go back on the west side of Chicago; I ain’t talking bout Michigan Avenue, where they used to kick me off for shining shoes. … They kicked me outta there. On the west side of Chicago, that’s where I’m from, OK? … When Michael Jordan got to Chicago, I made it real easy for him to walk those streets on the west side of Chicago. My family took care of him. My sister and his brother hung out as friends. My little nephew lived with Michael Jordan. … I’m being extremely good to this dude. I’m calling his house during this period of time. So all this, ‘Isiah was an assh–e,’ no, no, no, dude, I was looking out for you.”
Even if all these stories are true, they are still funny as hell, and no matter what Thomas says, Jordan will give him the respect that Thomas wants.
Some rivalries and beefs are for life, and this seems to be one of those types of beefs. It is going to go on forever.
These two just need to get together and talk it out or stop talking about each other at this point.
