“Why Do You Hate on Michael Jordan?”: NBA Fans Bash Isiah Thomas as He Calls LeBron James and Kareem Abdul Jabbar the GOATS

LeBron James recently joined Kareem Abdul Jabbar as the only two players in NBA history to have top 10 career totals across three major statistics. After his incredible performance against the Hawks, LeBron James moved to Top 10 all-time in steals. This put him in the elite category with the Lakers legend. So it was natural that social media went into a frenzy about it. Especially since Isiah Thomas, the Pistons legend who is infamously known for his beef with Michael Jordan reacted to this.

LeBron James sealed a victory for the Lakers over the Hawks and completed this formidable feat. Subsequently, Isiah Thomas took to Twitter and reacted to his record matching performance. He called James and Kareem Abdul Jabbar the GOATs of basketball, yet again snubbing out Michael Jordan. This did not sit well with the NBA fans. They lashed out at him after the Pistons legend’s tweet ended with an emphatic “let it be known”.

NBA fans call out Isiah Thomas for hating on Michael Jordan

Thomas and Jordan were not fond of each other throughout their careers. In fact, the Bad Boy Pistons were one of the biggest menaces for Michael Jordan. Therefore, Thomas in a way lives with the curse that everything he says is assumed as a shot at Michael Jordan.

However, sometimes, it seems like they are purported shots at the Bulls legend who is widely considered the GOAT. So this is how fans felt about Thomas’ take on LeBron James’ incredible achievement.

What does this mean for the LeBron James vs Michael Jordan debate?

Since the very beginning of Michael Jordan’s career, Isiah Thomas and he were not fond of each other. Thomas retired as a player (in 1994) around a year after Jordan announced his first NBA retirement. So he had seen the growth and prime of Michael Jordan in his own.

And as a fan rightly observed, having previously said Michael is the GOAT, how has Kareem done anything since then for him to change his mind? However, does he not have the right to change his mind since James joined the league many years after Thomas retired?

This once again comes to the question, can there be a singular right answer to who is the GOAT? Since a person can change his mind depending on the time and generation, for all we know someone who is in high school right now could be the next best player in the league. Therefore, the only conclusion that could be drawn here is that there is no singular right answer. Is there? Let us know what you think about it.
