It’s no secret that Isiah Thomas and Michael Jordan have a feud, as the Detroit Pistons legend keeps talking about the GOAT.
Well, recently, NBA legend Charles Oakley weighed in on the ongoing beef. Afterward, Thomas couldn’t help but hit him with a spicy message of his own.
During an appearance on All The Smoke, with Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson, Oakley shared his thoughts about Isiah Thomas and Michael Jordan.
Here’s what he had to say via NBA Central.
Charles Oakley calls out Isiah Thomas for continuing to discuss Michael Jordan
“He came in your city and took your city. That’s why you’re really mad. He took over Chicago” 🥶

Thomas couldn’t help but respond to Charles Oakley, claiming all he remembers is winning.

Somebody did actually check Isiah Thomas’ record against Charles Oakley. It’s not as good as Thomas thinks it is.

To be fair, that’s just regular season matchups. When it comes to the playoffs, Thomas has Oakley’s number, per Statmuse.
After talking some trash, Isiah Thomas tried to ensure he’s not trying to start a beef or hate anybody. Which is a bit odd considering how often he talks about Michael Jordan recently.
For the record I’m not beefing or hating on anyone. I am correcting and teaching factual documented history not mythology.

Maybe one day Thomas can get over his feud with MJ. It’s hard to imagine these two will ever sit down and converse about what’s caused this riff.
Especially considering Jordan is known as the GOAT. There really isn’t anything for him to defend.
Oh well, It’s kind of cool to see former superstars still going at it. I’m always down to watch some trash talk.
