Isiah Zeke Thomas on The Pivot Going In On Jordan

[get these nets]

Zeke has done a lot of great things, but once again he lies about certain things and be still bitter. And this podcast channel has a typical interview style with no fact checking.

We are living in the era of social media bubbles where anyone with a following base could make a Youtube channel, a webpage, blog or whatever, and lie about things, and their core base will agree by upvoting comments that agree with the content maker and downvoting anyone who challenges their lies with facts.

Zeke mentioning Pontiac Silverdome like some achievement. If the Lakers, Bulls, Celtics had to play in a football stadium, they would have a full stadium also.

Zeke then lies that he had no say in Pistons playing dirty on various guys including Mike. Come on now. These things don't happen without the leader's approval. Even Pistons fans would not believe in that lie.

Then he gives the wrist injury excuse. Sooo what about Lakers having no Magic in 89 finals?

Yeah. It's hard to revise history about events that people saw play out in real time, and that were documented for those not around to see it.

Some of these sports threads are sad because dudes are believing what they want to believe, rather than the facts.

this whole idea of people speaking on events they were never cognitive to is the problem.
not to mention, who were never cognitive. then guilty of complete misappropriation. while not at all or once understanding the factual history that took place.

Why was Isiah Thomas a featured main character on a documentary about the 1998 Bulls?

He didn't have to do the doc

He didn't have to do the doc

They were gonna discuss him anyway. Why not defend himself

this was an excellent interview but I know alot of coli folk remedial and have ADD so you take a 10 second clip and say thats all i need.

I highly encourage everyone to watch the whole thing.

this thread truly demonstrates this site is entirely full of cacs

this was black excellence on so many levels

His family's history in the South and being involved with Fred Hampton, MLK in Chicago and the civil rights movement

Discussing the media and how white men controlled it and then black men took over in the 80s in Detroit specifically and nationally.

How he was recruited to Indiana and the alleged fight between his brother and Bobby Knight he clarified that

Explaining how they beat all the legends on the way to titles (Kareem/Magic, MJ/Pip, Bird/Mchale/Parrish)

Pointing out how marketing has influenced the perception of not only him but his team


"Don't mistake my honesty and truth for dislike or disdain" - what a quote from Zeke

He even gave MJ his flowers for the NBA economic turnaround for the players and business overall. And without him the league would be nowhere near where it is today without MJ's influence.

But nikkas want him to bow down like he's a nobody stan. shyt pathetic.



Y'all got the nerve to disrespect a proud and assertive black man like Isaiah for what some daps and butter biscuits?
