“Fraudulent Blatant Lies”: Isiah Thomas Lashes Out at $660Bn Worth Industry as Charles Barkley Confirms Michael Jordan’s ‘Propaganda’

Undoubtedly, Michael Jordan is among the greatest of all time in basketball history. Over the years, he has consistently proven himself on the basketball court with exceptional shooting accuracy. Therefore, sharing the court with this basketball legend is no easy feat, which is why only a few have had the opportunity, including Isiah Thomas.

While for most players, playing alongside Michael was a godly experience, Isiah has some other thoughts. Interestingly, for him, Michael was not only a tough competitor but also a major roadblock. But is this true? Notably, this fact has been confirmed not only by Isiah but also by Charles Barkley himself.

In a recent episode of Club Shay Shay, Charles Barkley sat down with the team to share his insights on “Jordan keeping Isiah Thomas away from his dream team.” As glimpses of the interview session aired, it made waves all across the internet, accumulating responses from millions of spectators and Isiah Thomas.

Upon coming across the interview, his wounds were once again cut open, prompting him to take to his official X account and pen: “The years of fraudulent, blatant lies being covered up by mass marketing and propaganda are being exposed.” But, what did Charles Barkley say?? 

While talking about John Stockton and Michael Jordan, Charles Barkley supported Isiah Thomas by saying, “I think @IsiahThomas was a better player than John Stockton. Isiah Thomas probably should’ve been on the team. But apparently, Michael Jordan didn’t want him on the team.”

Although Charles’ words fueled Isiah’s anger, it wasn’t the beginning of the feud between Michael Jordan and Isiah Thomas.

How did the beef between Michael Jordan and Isiah Thomas started off?

Interestingly, there are many layers to the longstanding rivalry between NBA legends Michael Jordan and Isiah Thomas. Even the origin of the feud has been debated for many years. According to one popular theory, the beef started during the 1985 All-Star game. It is believed that Isiah conspired against Jordan to “freeze him out,” and colluded with the other players to do so.

Though Jordan started off as a rookie, he only accumulated seven points. However, Isiah never accepted the allegation, saying, “that never happened.” Regardless of the truthfulness of the accusation, undoubtedly, the seeds of animosity were planted back then and have been growing over the years.

Moving on, as Thomas has shared his side of the story, now it’s time for Jordan to dive in. As anticipated by spectators, the question now is, will Jordan reply to Thomas?
