Isiah Thomas Explains The “Jordan Rules” 🗣👀  

It didn’t work still bacame unstoppable 🤷‍♂️

​@@babyjrobinson501they beat then before though with this game plan

@@babyjrobinson501they beat him tho so how can u say it didn’t work

It definitely worked for a while until Jordan reinsdorf krause and Phil Jackson went crying to the league and media saying Detroit was dirty undeserving champions and bad for basketball after 1990 you couldn’t even breathe on mj without it being a foul he’s still the goat don’t get me wrong but he cried his way to the top

He’s saying he couldn’t dribble with his left hand. In every single advanced analytics MJ is at the top and he apparently did it one handed. As soon as you say that nonsense you’ve lost me

Enough said

This dude gonna have brain hemorage with Mike in his head like this

Send him right 😂😂😂

All y’all some Jordan d1ck eaters. 😂😂 Jordan was never guarded by Isaiah Thomas. Lol stop lying just because you love J’s more than you love your kids.

Wth does that have to do with anything he just said?!?!? He also got 10-14 free points usually and also shot 23-25 times and who knows how many before pippen was good.

Winning a scoring title while averaging 6 assist a game for a career.... the math ain't mathing 😂.

@@Profoundaj wdum

That's why he had such low turnover rates for a volume scorer

⁠@@nostalgicbliss5547 he shot 50% for his career that’s not a “volume scorer” casual..

@@mauricedavis1740 He had volume and efficiency. It was a compliment. Some of y'all need to see a therapist

Lol no! They frustrated Jordan in the 80's

⁠@@TheCruzan26what happened after the 80 lol?? Jordan came out on top 🐐💪🏽

No he didn’t they took his teammates out the game and baited mj into hero ball but would get him have to go left and pick up his dribble. They made going in the paint exhausting. He either was getting fouled or missed. So the games became can mj out score the pistons going left. He couldn’t

Or the one you love so much

😂

They still smacked him around en route to 2 championships that's something mj can't ever get back

​@@jordanflores5687 And he ended up with three times more than them.

@@selfmademan3201 like I said they smacked him around en route to 2 championships mike will never get that back he could have 10 it won't take away what the pistons did

What..But he did. Many times. Smart guy.. hahahahah hahahahah.. Are you serious?

As I recall they did stop him, which is why they have 2 rings. MJ eventually got better and overcame his shortcomings

@@TheFrogballz he averaged 30-6-5 against IT.

All the rest of the bad boys accept that they couldn't stop Jordan and acknowledge his greatness, except this little shit

@@ctrain3621right they didnt stop shit😂 He still averaged 30 tf is they talkin’n bout😪

💯

Isiah had beat Jordan more times I think he is more than qualified, let that marinate

​@@SCS-yx5hu Isaiah is the greatest Jordan rules analyst, but not a top 25 player. Let that marinate.

I feel you but that’s mostly because every interview he has, he is asked about MJ, rightfully so.

That boy Stephen drunk wit that comment

That's called 80s basketball. Mabey you should go watch what the Celtics did to people

@@cmnyct3654 oh I've seen it, use to get real ugly in the playoffs.

Those kind of things didn’t not happen to Jordan in the 90s. You couldn’t even push Jordan and they were throwing you out of the game.

I KNOW!!🤣 THE BAD BOYS👉🏿WARREN SAPP THAT NIGGA😁😁😁

The Celtics and the pistons use to own Jordan before he became great. Lol 😆

@@mrcmid9132 they might have owned the Bulls, but they didn't own Jordan.

​@@mrcmid9132 Jordan in his second NBA season: 43ppg 6.3 rebs 5.7 ast 50.5% FG in the playoffs vs Celtics in 86. 63 point game vs Celtics in the same series. Next season Jordan 35.7ppg 7rebs 6 ast vs the legendary Celtics in the postseason. So, again. The Bulls as team still in development, struggled against a Celtics team that won 33 straight (NBA record) home games in 86. "Jordan" was called "God in basketball sneakers" by the great Larry Bird.

@@reimixo Haha only one crying is Thomas. Dude hasn’t shut up about MJ in forever. He’s also a liar. Mr. Pinocchio 🤥Thomas said MJ was the first volume shooter when there’s plenty before him that shot as much or more and on a worse percentage.

Truth Hurts,laugh it off

Well if that’s true what was the point of Jordan rules ? and how did you learn about his weaknesses and still have to have Jordan rules

It worked

That was the fun of it

😂😂😂😂

Zeke never said that they could stop him. The "Jordan Rules" were to make things difficult for him. Without those rules he would have killed Dumars and ate Detroit's fans alive.

He was 3-1 in playoff series against MJ. When the Pistons lost, they were like a 5th seed team and barely .500

@@eddieG667 he figured them out and destroyed them all. That is all 😅🤣

He didn't figure out Thomas or any of the greats. They just got old.

@@jacobwaldrop8604because before pistons got old, for years we man handled them bulls and Mike. Year in year out

The pistons were the only team to control and abuse Jordan. If It wasn't true, Isaiah wouldn't keep reminding people. Lmao 🤣 🤣

Obviously u don't watch basketball. The bulls never beat the pistons while Isaiah was in the pistons .

@@JorgeAceituno-vs3jt What! Wow! Obviously u don't watch basketball because unlike u, I actually saw the series when Chicago swept Det. I guess #11 was someone else lol

@Jaheim Re yea but it wasn't The same bad boys pistons" The fact that Jordan and the bulls got beat by the pistons ,in Jordan's first 5 years of his career.

@@JorgeAceituno-vs3jt Bro do yourself a favor and stop talking. You are talking to someone that actually saw that entire Bulls and Pistons rivalry all those yrs. You don't tell me, I tell u so just listen. Isaiah was on the team when they got swept and it was the same bad boys but what happened was the perfect storm. The Bulls got better and the Pistons got old. That's what happened.

During the 1988-89 season, Michael Jordan was moved to the point guard position as an experiment. MJ went on to record a triple-double in 10 of the 11 games he played at the position. He averaged a 33.6 points, 11.4 assists and 10.8 rebounds.Nov 8, 2022

Y’all really think averaging assists makes you a WILLING passer never said he wasn’t a good passer he just wasn’t a WILLING one it’s really that simple

@@welkometodaparty4821 So i he's not willing, that only makes him look even better. Rodman wasn't a willing scorer, and it showed in his career averages.

And he was a 2 guard and Isiah was a point... So MJ really performed better even in the assist category.

@@Profoundaj Exactly

The fadeaway didn't come until 94.

7 years to figure the Detroit pistons out!!!! 80’s teams you needed to have a SQUAD to win in that era!!!! Jordan didn’t get a squad til 91

@@kevinhousen2791 Naw here he is in 92 https-://ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gsjRGycclx8.html

Facts, when he got the left and the fade it was over with. It was really already over with even without the left because the other parts of his game was ahead of his time. But the left and that fade is what put him over the top.

@@kevincollins3177 or some say the other squads simply got weaker

But Jordan wasn't "every" player? Let us not forget that whenever someone said Mike had a weakness he ended up correcting it so really He didn't have a weakness. Case in point. He torched Drexler and the trailblazers in the playoffs With 8 Straight three's because the coach of the trailblazers said he couldn't shoot the 3 ball. Now you God Isaiah talking about Mike couldn't go left which for a small stint he couldn't, but I can't seem to figure out how he couldn't. Go left yet. He's averaging. 32 points a game over 9 years! By just going, right? Lol? Because you knew if he went down the middle, it was gonna be a flush. So, in theory, the only weakness in his game is if he scored less than 30 points. L o l so his weaknesses were on a game by game bases l o l l o l

@Maine Prophetic that game vs POR when he hit 6 of 10 from 3 is no where near the norm. Truth is he did have a weakness and 3 pointers was it. And before you go to his career percentage, check what he shot in the years the NBA had a regular 3 point line that wasn't shortened. He also couldn't go left

Facts!! 👌

Isaiah & the Pistons sent Jordan home from the playoffs for three years straight. You MJ stans are legitimately pathological liars.

🍆....here you go...keep on following....follower

Isah won vs Jordan more then he lost btw

@@sanderkonto297 won’t change history. Jordan has the rings and was the leader of The Dream Team that kept him out.

Exactly. There are countless clips of Mike going left on the Pistons. Dunking on 2-3 of them. Crossing them and making em fall down or fall out of bounds. Jordan Rules were beat the hell out of Mike. That's what it was. Foul the living crap out of him when he drove to hole. Anyone alive back then who watched the games know this. Isiah is simply lying. He's making stuff up because he doesn't want to say the truth which was they beat the crap out of MJ.

@@roboninja3194MJ should’ve passed more and he would’ve beaten them…simple as that

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 playing heavy metal right real loud 😂

Oh damn🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂😂

You say that but he’s one the few guys that can say that he owned that mf in the 80s…Jordan scored a lot but it was because he got every call imaginable and shot 20 FTs a game

Brooo exactly

Yeah Jordan always found a way to get the last laugh in just about everything and as you mentioned being beloved in his hometown doesn't help either

Absolutely!!!

It definitely shows!!

This is what should "bother" Isiah... Fact: Isiah blocked out the pain in his ankle, took over and established a 3rd Q Playoff scoring record AND actually out-ran Magic for a loose ball (on said bad ankle)... Pistons (most likely) about to win the Championship, a year earlier until... Refs call a phantom foul!! Without the phantom foul, Isiah's Finals accomplishment, at that point, precludes us from EVER entertaining the prospect of MJ scoring 63 in a non-Finals LOSS!! I'm not even sure how that became "a thing." And... How would you keep Isiah off of the Dream Team, thereafter? He'd be a (bigger) legend!! THIS is what bothers me!! I can only imagine how much it SHOULD bother Isiah...

The Dream Team snub and Jordan also spoke out against Isaiah potentially coming to the Bulls.

Bruh I swear mfs be talking out they ass😂😂😂😂Like Mike ain't have a nice handle he went where the fuck he want on the basketball court

Bruh I'm sitting here like Zeke tripping 😂

He said he was a reluctant passer. I went and GOOGLED this info. During the 1988-89 season, Michael Jordan was moved to the point guard position as an experiment. MJ went on to record a triple-double in 10 of the 11 games he played at the position. He averaged a 33.6 points, 11.4 assists and 10.8 rebounds.Nov 8, 2022

He just explaining their scheme to stop Jordan. Jordan started the mess by black Ballin zeke. Then turn around and played the bad boys style.

@@wild100sQ thank you bro Zeke be taking out the side of his neck

Right and he put a couple of dudes on skates

He’s talking about Jordan in the 80s which is when this took place. Jordan did not have the best handles between 88-90.

​@@qwertyutopia4667 No, check out the highlight of Jordan going between the legs handle against Larry Bird in 1986 playoff. Jordan always had a great handle for a guy his size at 6'6".

Blowing past a defender isn’t the same as breaking down a defender

​@@radar0412all he did was put the ball between his legs twice 🤣😭. He said he wasn't a great ball handler. Didñt say he couldn't dribble e

They did beat him for years. They did something right

@@Shaund03they stopped the team. Michael Jordan averaged 30.0 points, 6.7 rebounds and 6.1 assists in 22 games versus the Pistons in the playoffs in his career.

@gary neal it is a team game. Lebron averaged 33 pts 11.5 reb and 9.3 assist against warriors in playoffs but it's not said the warriors didn't stop him they talk about the wins and losses. Just double standards when it's jordan.

@@Shaund03 huge difference in shutting down Jordan and shutting the team down. Making him work harder yes, but I have never heard of shutting a player down and they average 30 plus points. Isaiah said Jordan had no handle couldn't go left, no jump shot he just kept scoring 30k points. The Celtics won a playoff game where he scored 63, l guess they shut him down too.

Yeah I'd say it's the other way around . Isaiah made peace with everybody even Karl Malone. Jordan went on " the last dance" (which he was paid $10 million for because Jordan is a straight-up prostitute, Nike pimped him for decades) And he said he hated Isiah Time to move on Mike, all those trophies & money and even Scottie Pippen sick of his act.

​@@UberKrispy don't think so your boy Isaiah Thomas he think everybody bett than Michael Jordan we all know that isn't

He is speaking on his past games...like all players do

He's not wrong.

Can’t be bitter if you won already

@salma amin would you?

Bitter from what? He sht on jordan

wait so jordan didnt join a super team when he couldnt win? what the h?

Ask Jordan if it affected him! You just gave a clear explanation of how he had to make adjustments to finally overcome the Pistons after years of tears and disappointment! #Think

@B S No...He played for Chicago the entire time...FACTS 💯

@@ADifferentLookNetwork it took an entire team (Pistons) to have a late night meeting to come up with the Jordan Rules , which is simply Beat the guy up if he comes into the lane..Lets face it , the Pistons was a team that was boring to watch, Yeah they won the finals twice , but they had no flare, no style, just a bunch of dudes playing hockey on a basketball court ....and that's FACTUAL 💯

BIG MUFUCKIN FACTS‼️

He's just mad that Chicago loves Jordan more than him because Isaiah is from Chicago. That and he believes Jordan kept him off the dream team.

You are right I didn’t think of that point. Thanks! Chicago loving Jordan more!

Bad boys traumatised bulls first

So was he not asked?

@@bobbyredmond5036 if you're asking about the dream team snub no he wasn't. Isaiah says it was Jordan who said him or me. Jordan has said it wasn't him but other players who said that. I personally believe it was Jordan and some of the others who said no to him being asked.

It's hard to believe but they use to shut Jordan down! Lol 😆

And so what, maybe they asked him a question. Wow you people are unbelievable, everyone who played in that area talk about Jordan because people ask them questions about Jordan.
