@@timmyotoole7312 ...that wasn't his point though. He meant that Isaiah still acknowledged MJ as the greatest to ever play. Although your point does stand up well..

@@njldst2007 cause as much as media stands love to paint Isiah as a mj hater I just don't see it all Ive see is an older player who mentality was not to let mj have anything & sometimes it got physical on the court but it was never personal off the court but bird celtics & magic lakers did isiah the same way but they try to paint Detroit out like they are originators of playing dirty smh.... but as unstoppable as mj was he never won anything until he learned to play with his teammates & scottie became a great Robin & zeke understood this he never would've beat the 80s lakers or celtics tryna be a one man army if it wasn't for Phil Jackson mj still would've been playing in that one man army style which isn't equivalent to winning like the media & mj stans paint it & the 90s competition was definitely weaker than the 80s & Isiah makes sure people understands it cause he had to overcome the competition of beating teams with 3 all stars + hofs vs mj competition in the 90s never had more than 2 all stars & flagrant fouls became a thing in the 90s in the 80s flagrant were regular hard fouls....

@@souljamakinbread08 That's a whole lot of stuff not related to the thread or my comment lol. It isn't me who called MJ the greatest in this vid, it's Isiah, eras didn't really get mentioned. Also, Isiah and MJ definitely had issues, from both ends, it's been said by Isiah himself, although they both defo respect each other I feel

@@souljamakinbread08 thats not his point dumbass. Lmao

Isiah seems to be one of the few guys who don't have an overinflated ego. He gives credit where credit is due no matter what. That's why he recognizes MJ is the GOAT and that's why he didn't by to Charles Okley's bullshit like "Giannis would be a bench player in my era". Isiah has every reason to agree with that, he is the leader of one of the best team of that era. And yet, he doesn't let his ego do the talking.

And repeatedly beat the bulls...

Yes, when Isaiah talk about Grant was the one that carry the league after Jordan it was silent as everyone agrees. He was a great player, too bad for his injuries.

The multiple ankle surgeries/injuries took away his true potential, and yet his overall statistics/achievements are off the chain..... and remember one of those surgeries included the Doctors re-breaking the ankle to align it with the leg bone, and he had major complications afterwards and his temp spiked to 104 and he had convulsions, and was rushed to the hospital....turns out he had a major infection, and could have died.....very glad he's still here, and he's a tremendous individual, and now part owner of the Hawks, and living his best life....a real classy Brotha that has always stayed true to himself!

@@fredtolliver4798 He so was good & I'm talking with his injuries, so it's scary to think what more he could have done!! I really hate that he got hurt the way he did cause not only was he a PHENOMENAL player, he was as you stated such a classy humble dude!

@@thetruth72667 Facts sir....I'm always speaking in business environments and I have to stay on my A game, and Grant is one of those who I watch closely as he speaks....very powerful, very articulate....you can see the vast difference with the NBA analysts, and you can immediately sense who went to class, and who didn't......and as you so eloquently stated, Grant was givin em the business on the top floor, rising and dunkin on whoever......lol

Grant was literally the next Jordan. Sad his ankle broke but he still averaged 25 pts a game.

Facts

Dude, Grant Hill came in the league dunking on everybody and he was pretty much a 6'8 Michael Jordan! Can also pass the ball like Lebron. He could've been even better than Lebron if he just stayed healthy.

He would never team hop. Greatest Piston ever!

He was the player that drawn interest to basketball because of him, and I grew up a 76ers fan…lol

The Pistons were dirty. White boy was a bigot. Sour ass loser as well.

Yes, the pistons cheap shots and Isiah spreading Magic Johnson rumors was "beautiful "? .🤮🤮🤮🤮. Isiah has zero class.. he proved it with his Knicks office behavior

Yeah for sure. Seems to me Isaiah was the most dominant personality though

Every NBA player has an ego especially if you’re good. Anybody that’s top in their field has an ego.

@@ericmcgowan1993 it was shaq. No one beat shaq if he bring up his ring

@@iseeyou8649 shaq is the biggest physically; that's all. Not the smartest, not the most interesting, not a leader like Isaiah. Isaiah is always the leader of the pack. That's probably why Jordan didn't want him on the dream team. No leader ever felt challenged by shaq's presence

Grant Hill speaks like a humble man. The rest need to take a lesson from him.

Top 10 ever (kinda hard to rank guys at different spots without flaws) is pure hyperbole with Grant. He was nice, but he was like a lighter version of LBJ. Even when healthy he never developed a consistent perimeter jumper and he never had one when he came back and played after injuries Let's just say he coulda been a top 5 SF ever.

@@FuShengAlex yeah people over do it with the top 10 ever bit. Such an exclusive group guys like Kobe isnt even a consensus top 10 player (he’s in mine) so just shows how tough a group it is to get into. G Hill was well on his way to being maybe top 30 but we’ll never know.

@Nicholas B AMEN

@@jasse85 seems like everyone on the cast loves him

Hard truth though: Scottie at that time was notably better than Thomas. Pippen was 21/8/7 at the time on 51% FG% with more steals and 5x as many blocks per game and Isiah was 18.5/3/7 on 44.6% FG%. The only stat Isiah was higher in was turnovers. Scottie's prime stats and accomplishments are also better than Isiah's, so. . .tbh, he can't sit there and knock Pipp' just because he was on a team with MJ. Pippen was extremely important to the Bulls winning and I don't think they win any more than maybe 2-3 with an average replacement SF instead. My man Isiah is just salty here tbh. He doesn't have the right to disrespect Pippen. Pipp' is way underrated.

Isaiah was the sore loser walking off the court not shaking MJs hand which led to all this so Isaiah is the sore loser actually

@@joeblow2689 Larry did the same when they lost to the Pistons and countless amounts of players have. Isaiah beat the Great white hope, league darling Magic and the golden boy MJ and people hated him for it. People are truly hilarious.

@@jacobsblessings754 but the bulls shook their hands for like 3 consecutive years and they couldn't do the same? Can't use the Celtics excuse, it was between them and the bulls. At least Joe dumars and John Salley were men enough to shake hands and accept defeat.

@@KaliweteKid Dude MJ had talked about the Pistons horribly and continuously before that game, so I wouldn't have shook his hand either. MJ didn't wnt him on the team because Isaiah Thomas would never bow down to him and has a winning record against him. He met the one guy that was just as competitive as him and couldn't stand it, which is what we call today PETTY.

Olajuwon deserved that MVP award in 1994. Also, Scottie on his own led the Bulls to 55 wins and a 2nd round playoff elimination. Meanwhile, Isiah led the Pistons once to a 63 win season and an NBA title beating Bird, Jordan and Magic in the process. It's not hard to tell who the better leader was.

@@drestathagangsta8880 Valid facts, but he wasn't arguing against Isaiah, he was arguing FOR Pippen. Of Course Isiah was the leader, but at the same time Pippen never had to do that before, it takes leaders years of playing to learn the ins and outs of that role, even if you were just one notch below. Pippen was a different personality from Jordan so the organization probably felt different in the locker room and during practice, so you can't take away from what Pippen did after MJ. But of course Isiah was great! He was at it for years.

@Ulysses432 wtf are you talking about. Pippen was never the 2nd best in the NBA. And not the best player on the Dream Team that was Charles Barkley as said on record by Chuck Daley the Pistons Coach at the time. He told Barkley he was the greatest player he ever had the pleasure of coaching. Barkley brings it up all the time. And he avg more points than Jordan in the Olympics. Pippen will never be regarded as one of greatest. He will be the all time best side kick forever. Isiah Thomas is the 2nd greatest point guard of all time said by who Michael Jordan. Get your facts straight and quit being a sheep.

@Ulysses432 Read your statement stupid you said: "Pippen was the the second best player in the NBA after Jordan and Isiah WASN'T.". Wrong because Isiah was arguably the best player in the NBA in the 80s when he won his back to back titles. At no point was Pippen ever regarded as the 2nd best player in the NBA ever. Phil Jackson wouldn't even let Pippen take the final shot in the 94 series it went to Toni Kukoc. Pippen sat down like a bitch and bailed the final play. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QZhupKWCsEU.html You also said: "Pippen was THE BEST PLAYER ON THE DREAM TEAM as said by the coaches, trainers and journalists." That's subjective I don't know what articles you were reading but Charles Barkley avg the most points on the team 2nd was Jordan. I dunno what you were watching but how could you possibly tell who was the best player when every game was decided by 30 pts or more. You may hate Isiah but you cannot take away the fact he made Jordans life a living hell in the 80s. Unless your a 🐑🐑🐑

@Ulysses432 ok sheep. The millennial is upset hahahaha look how mad you are lol 🤣😂

He was more than role player now. He was great but I agree he wasn’t nearly as high as people make him out to be. He was never the 2nd best player in the league and this is proof that his peers didn’t see him as such.

@@getitworkalot8096 lebron fans make it look as if he once dominated like Wade

@@n.o.vativesports8504 exactly. That 94 season was nice but he wasn’t going to beat out Hakeem or Robinson both were centers that were getting nearly the same amount of assists but were better in nearly every other category.

LeBron has won at least one championship for each team that he has played for.

He has avoided scandal, donated to his community (even started a school and scholarship program), and took up social activists issues. Who else can say this? When N*groes were unaliving each other over a pair of Nike Air Jordans...Michael Jordan was as quiet as a church 🐁.

But, nobody compares to Brother Ali and his contributions to the African struggles in AmeriKKKa. Rest In Power 😇. ru-vid.comnh1WHVZKM3o?feature=share Word.

Shaq forgot how Malone used to sweep him lol

Dude, the worst player on dream team 1 was Christian Lattener. The worst on 2.0 was hall of famer Mitch Richmond. Not to mention the fact Bird was washed basically by then. He spent 95% of his time laying on the floor to stretch out his back. Dream Team 2.0 had Shaq, Hakeem, and Robinson at center. Dream team 1.0 had Robinson and Ewing. So, I mean remove Robinson from the equation and you're left with having Shaq and Hakeem or Patrick Ewing. I mean, Ewing is a legend and one of the better centers to ever play. But, he's not in the same tier as Hakeem and Shaq, period. Then I mean Grant Hill and Penny Hardaway pre injuries were only just like considered to be the new faces of the league. Still had Barkley, Stockton, Malone, and Pippen in the backend of their primes. Both Barkley and Pippen maybe lost half a step in athleticism but had become so much more complete as players. Better ball handlers, passers, expanded their offensive repertoire with better more consistent shooting from mid and 3pt range. And the cherries on top you have Gary Payton and Reggie Miller. Two agitators that were the best at getting under people's skin, talking non stop, and most annoyingly often backing up that talk with play that only got better in clutch time. Then, I mean Magic was still great but past nearing the end of his prime, had knee problems, and was dealing with forced early retirement due to just recently learning of his HIV diagnosis. Chris Mullins isn't better than anyone on the 96 team either. So I mean, the 96 team has just about everyone in their prime, had more depth and talent at every position, and the 96 versions of Stockton, Malone, Barkley, Pippen, and Robinson were all just as good if not better than they were in 92. Yes, 92 had Jordan and he's the goat but the 96 team is better in every other regard. More shooting, more size, more athleticism, more youth, more depth, and had more pressure on them as they had to follow up the most praised teams in any sport ever. So, the expectations were way higher while also playing at an Olympics that was held on home soil in Atlanta. If the 1996 team did anything but dominate their way to a gold they would've been labeled as one of the biggest disappointments in the history of sports.

​@@MayunholdupDream Team 2 was in 94' it's name was literally Dream Team 2 and Steve Smith was also on that 94' team which is why he also clapped.
