The release of the latest episodes of ESPN’s “The Last Dance,” had a lot of people upset with Detroit Pistons Hall of Fame point guard Isiah Thomas. Micahel Jordan will evidently never get over how the Pistons walked off the court prior to the end of the 1991 Eastern Conference Finals and despite Thomas’ please years later, that won’t change anything. Still, Thomas and the other opponents that Jordan beat over the years have been wrongly slandered oftentimes in defense of LeBron playing against stronger athletes. However, LeBron went online to make sure everybody knows that Isiah Thomas was a bad dude on the court.
James lauded Thomas for his ‘next-level’ lay-up package and his incredible pull-up game.
Absolutely MONSTER!!!! Had that ball on a string. Layup package next level. Pull up game phenomenal! Nothing he couldn’t do. And to add on he was an DOG! East Side of Chi-Town breed https://t.co/Cn0Lf3DmSV

However, one point of clarification is that Thomas was actually born and raised on the West Side of Chicago, not the East Side. Still, the point from LeBron still stands that Isiah Thomas was one of the toughest players the game has ever seen and was the leader of the only team from the era to beat Magic, Bird, and Jordan in the 80s and 90s.
