They are now saying what plenty of ppl have said in previous yrs that Michael Jordan got his revenge vs.Isiah Thomas by denying him a shot at Olympic Gold.Trivia question who else denied Isiah a shot Olympic glory????

That's what you get when you organize a freeze out of Jordan out in the all star game when he was a rookie.dal4018 wrote:They are now saying what plenty of ppl have said in previous yrs that Michael Jordan got his revenge vs.Isiah Thomas by denying him a shot at Olympic Gold.Trivia question who else denied Isiah a shot Olympic glory????

Re: '92 Dream Team: 20 yr anniversary
Thomas made his bed and its safe to say that no player in the history of the game used "others who had pissed him off" for motivation as well as Jordan. Obviously Rod Thorn and USA Basketball felt the team would be better without Thomas or they would have told Jordan that he wasn't needed.dal4018 wrote:Talk about holding a grudge get over it Thomas was denied the right to play for the Stars&Stripes!!!!Jordan already had gold medal from '84!!!grizfnz wrote: That's what you get when you organize a freeze out of Jordan out in the all star game when he was a rookie.

I still say Isiah should have been on that squad especially over so-called choir boy Stockton that he single handedly abused in his 44 pt performance to the point that Malone sent him to the bench with a bloody nose.clenz wrote:I'd bet less people wanted him than didn't.grizfnz wrote:

Johnson's agent Lou Rosen supposedly told Johnson that Isiah laughed at him after he contracted the aids virus it was mentioned in the book about him and Bird "When The Game Was Ours"grizfnz wrote:True, Magic didn't want him either and they were supposed to have been good friends.clenz wrote: It wasn't just Jordan that didn't want Thomas.

I bought one of these at K-Mart 20 years ago thinking it might be worth something. Still in a box in my parents' basement:

Stockton was more of a team player that Thomas. Doesn't matter how good you are, if you don't fit in with the team, well, Thomas found out.dal4018 wrote:I still say Isiah should have been on that squad especially over so-called choir boy Stockton that he single handedly abused in his 44 pt performance to the point that Malone sent him to the bench with a bloody nose.clenz wrote: I'd bet less people wanted him than didn't.

Re: '92 Dream Team: 20 yr anniversary
It is worth something, on ebay between $40 and $60. Now is the time to sell them, as they were going in the $20 range earlier this month.93henfan wrote:I bought one of these at K-Mart 20 years ago thinking it might be worth something. Still in a box in my parents' basement:

Re: '92 Dream Team: 20 yr anniversary
I think it cost damned-near $20 originally. What a shitty investment. I should have just gotten a Chinese "massage".Gil Dobie wrote:It is worth something, on ebay between $40 and $60.

Re: '92 Dream Team: 20 yr anniversary
What a great squad, how could we NOT win!? ESPN has a documentary on the Dream Team and it's pretty good. I watched it Tuesday. It's amazing how they were superstars in America, but when they went overseas their stardom skyrocketed.
Turns out I might be a little gay. 89Hen 11/7/17

Thomas & the Pistons' refusal to shake hands after the Bulls beat them in 91 was a factor for other players and team executives.dal4018 wrote:I still say Isiah should have been on that squad especially over so-called choir boy Stockton that he single handedly abused in his 44 pt performance to the point that Malone sent him to the bench with a bloody nose.clenz wrote: I'd bet less people wanted him than didn't.
Thomas was a great player and a tremendous competitor and if the decision was based on ability and impact alone he should have made it. Unfortunately for him there were other factors and those kept him from being selected.

It will probably be difficult for MAQA yahoos to overcome the Qult programming but they should give being rational & reasonable a try.

Re: '92 Dream Team: 20 yr anniversary
Yes I saw that incident but Dumars shook hands with everyone on Chicago and no one had a problem with that display of sportsmanship from the man known as "Joe D" on the Pistons .Yes that wrong on Isiah's part.What other factors kept Isiah off that historical squad besides his feud with # 23 and #33????UNI88 wrote:Pippendal4018 wrote:They are now saying what plenty of ppl have said in previous yrs that Michael Jordan got his revenge vs.Isiah Thomas by denying him a shot at Olympic Gold.Trivia question who else denied Isiah a shot Olympic glory????
