The same coach that knew his hand was fukked at the time.

Nobody is saying stock was necessarily better overall, but right then and for the team chemistry he was the best option.

Zeke that dude but it has always been :mjlol: to me that he spent his post playing career like "we was the bad boys we did what we wanted we didn't care what anybody thought about us :hula:can't believe i wasn't on the dream team that is bullshyt those guys didn't want to play with me and i don't know why

Be the ring leader of a group of men who clothesline players in mid air and then be surprised when said players don't really want to play basketball with you if they don't have to brehs
Close the damn thread.

Honestly, it shouldn't have been up to the players who were on the team. Coaches should've decided.

Isiah should've been on there. I kinda get the feeling that it was only Jordan and Pippen who really hated Isiah and the other guys just went along with the flow to stay on Jordan's good side.

It would be like not putting Chris Paul on the 08 team because of how unliked he is to some people.

People keep saying there would've been a negative vibe if Thomas was a member of the Dream Team...but how do we know this?......Thomas coached Mike in the all-star game years after the Dream Team snub without any drama........... What if Mike, Isiah, and Scottie sat down and had a real heart to heart?... What if Thomas came out said he was wrong and ask for forgiveness?.....Jordan/Pippen are taking the non-handshake to personal IMO........Had Thomas been selected to the Dream Team I believe he and Mike would've buried the hatchet. Scottie being the follower that he is would've fell in line.

Are you telling me Jordan/Pippen can play with/forgive Dennis, but not forgive Thomas?

I think so too. Now we got 50 year old men still beefing when they could've played together and got over the drama decades ago.

It''s crazy how many new stans of old players are popping up due to this documentary...

My wife isn't from the US...we was watching this and she was like "Dennis Rodman played basketball" :gladbron:...

I was like "what :gucci:"

Then I remembered she didn't grow up in the states...grew up in a village...my wife has virtually no conception of america before 2011...so she only knew dennis rodman as the dude who went to north korea and "Michael Jordan teammate"...

Now she all :noah: over Dennis Rodman...

"Did you know he was this good at rebounding":noah:

"Yep:unimpressed:"

"Did you know he was that good at defense":noah:

"Yep":unimpressed:

We were downstairs earlier and she was literally just watching 240p clips of dennis rodman :mjlol:

Not that I ever expect it to happen, but if we ever meet dennis rodman in real life my marriage is surely over cause my wife is surely going to bust it open for him and i am pretty sure rodman is going to be down to be busted open upon....


Play videos of Kenya Moore or Tyra Banks in front of your wife. Problem solved

They didnt forgive Dennis, their desire to win more rings was greater than whatever feelings they had towards him.

They brought in other power forwards to recruit to replace Horace Grant's role, but he was determined to be the best fit.

They didnt need Isiah to win the Gold Medal.

Thomas is one of the greatest competitors, players, and point guards in the history of the league. That's undisputed. But that staged walk off was a bytch move that will follow him forever. Especially, AFTER Mike fought tears and forced himself to dap the Pistons up the previous year.
