Isiah Thomas made an interesting statement regarding his competition with Chicago Bulls and NBA legend Michael Jordan.
Thomas, a Hall of Famer and two-time NBA champion, said he was better than fellow Hall of Famer and six-time NBA champion.
“Just head-to-head, I was dominant over him. Until ’91 when I basically had career-ending wrist surgery, up until then, my record against him and his team — it really wasn’t competition there.
He just wasn’t my competition. My focus was [Larry] Bird, Magic [Johnson], Dr. J [Julius Erving], Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Those were the guys.
I don’t care what anybody says. You can go back and look at history — those were the guys,” Thomas said during his appearance on Club Shay Shay with Shannon Sharpe.
Thomas and Jordan had an intense rivalry for almost a decade in the 1980s – 1990s.
