Isiah Thomas looks forward to watching the Bad Boys-Michael Jordan rivalry in the next episodes of “The Last Dance”.
Episodes 3 and 4 of the documentary will cover the rivalry between Michael Jordan’s Chicago Bulls and the Bad Boys of the Detroit Pistons during the ’80s and ’90s.
“During this period of time we’re all starving for sports. You really don’t know what the other teams’ internal workings are like. Getting a peek behind the curtain to see what their team was like internally and some of the conflicts that they had, how they resolved them, how they led, all those different things are things that I just find interesting and was curious about, and now getting a chance to view it, I’ve enjoyed it, actually.
I’ve said this before, and I’ve been on record saying that we have a great deal of respect and admiration for Michael Jordan in terms of the way he played and what he’s done for our game.
The competition that we had on the floor was just that. It was (just) competition on the floor … We tried to win. And really, that was it. It was no hidden agendas or anything like that. It was my team against your team, and let’s see who wins,” Thomas told Omari Sankofa II of The Detroit Free Press.
