Michael Jordan and Isaiah Thomas still ghosting each other 30 + year on from their rivalry

In somewhat murky audio of a 2011 interview with the author of a book on the fabled team, His Airness says as much, and Jack McCallum, whose “Dream Team” book was published in 2012, backs that up.
“Rod Thorn [chairman of the Olympic team selection committee and the Chicago Bulls’ former general manager] called me,” Jordan said in the audio snippet from the Dream Team Tapes podcast with McCallum. “I said, ‘Rod, I won’t play if Isiah Thomas is on the team.’ He assured me. He said: ‘You know what? Chuck doesn’t want Isiah. So Isiah is not going to be part of the team.’Chuck is Chuck Daly, Thomas’s coach with the Detroit Pistons and the Dream Team coach, and he preferred to let Thorn’s committee choose the players. In ESPN’s documentary, which Jordan helped produce, he denied that he wanted Thomas left off the roster, although it was clear he does not like Thomas.
“It was insinuated that I was asking about him. But I never threw his name in there,” Jordan said in “The Last Dance.” “Based on the environment and camaraderie that happened on that team, it was the best harmony. Would Isiah have made a different feeling on that team? Yes. You want to attribute it to me? Go ahead; be my guest. But it wasn’t me [who kept him off the team].”
