Robert Johansson+FollowIsiah Thomas goes at the Jordan “GOAT” myth: “He didn’t build an empire — the NBA gave him the throne.”Isiah Thomas had a scorching take on Michael Jordan’s legacy, arguing that the “GOAT” label gets repeated like MJ built everything himself — and that’s not the full story. In Isiah’s view, Jordan was more like a machine-like dunk-and-highlight product, while a roster full of legends did the dirty work behind the scenes. Take away the marketing hype, the whistle protection, and Scottie Pippen, and you’re left with a guy who can hit fadeaways — plus a PR machine — not a basketball deity. His closing punchline is the sharpest part: “He didn’t dominate us. The NBA gave him the throne.” Do you think this is fair “context” that people avoid… or is it just disrespectful hate? #NBA #MichaelJordan #IsiahThomas #GOATDebate #BasketballHistory #NBADiscussion2977Share
summersivan+FollowIsiah Thomas’ real win: Family over fortuneIsiah Thomas didn’t just make NBA history—he changed his family’s future. Instead of spending his $16 million career earnings on luxury, Thomas used it to lift his loved ones out of poverty, making sure his nieces, nephews, and cousins had food, homes, and college opportunities. Growing up on Chicago’s South Side, he knew how close his family was to falling through the cracks. For Thomas, true success isn’t about trophies or stats—it’s about giving his family a shot at a better life. What do you think: Should more athletes focus on generational impact over personal gain? #Sports #Basketball #IsiahThomas00Share
