Former Detroit Pistons guard Isiah Thomas took a shot at Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls on how they treated former Bulls GM Jerry Krause in the documentary “The Last Dance.”
Thomas said on the latest episode of “The Draymond Green Show”,
“The way they treated Jerry Krause and the disrespect that they showed for him, I was blown away, totally blown away. To watch how they treated him and the disrespect and lack of respect that they gave him as a person and as a man. It was cringeworthy watching that. I cringed for him and his family.”
Krause served as the Bulls team’s general manager for all six of the titles led by Jordan which came in the years 1991, 1992, 1993, 1996, 1997, and 1998. His final season as general manager of the Bulls came in the 2002-03 season.
Bulls and Pistons were head-to-head back then, The Pistons won titles in 1989 and 1990, and Detroit beat the Bulls in the Eastern Conference Finals during both of those title runs.
Already marked three decades since they were on an NBA court together, Jordan and guard Thomas seem they need to resolve some “issues.” During a recent “The Draymond Green Show” appearance, Thomas was asked if their relationship is “salvageable.”
Pistons legend Thomas responded,
“Dude, no. This dude got on international television and called me an a**hole. Somebody who has been good to him and until he apologizes on international television. Ain’t no conversation.”
Jordan’s comments appeared on his Uber-popular ESPN documentary “The Last Dance,” which was released spring of 2020.
