Isiah Thomas subtly shades Michael Jordan with Deion Sanders' video challenging MJ’s athletic greatness

Isiah Thomas has had a contentious relationship with Michael Jordan, dating back to their fierce rivalry during their playing days. And on Saturday, Thomas seemingly took another dig at MJ on social media.

Thomas shared a Deion Sanders video on his Instagram Stories, where the two-sport star put into question Michael Jordan's athletic ability.

During a conversation with Dan Patrick, the current Colorado Buffaloes coach was asked who was the better athlete, him or Michael Jordan. Sanders then inserted the name of trailblazer athlete Bo Jackson into the conversation for what he did in both football and baseball.

"You're forgetting a profound guy in this conversation: Bo Vincent Jackson. If it wasn't for Bo, it wouldn't be no Prime, so let's start with Bo."

Then, Sanders gave more props to Jackson while taking a dig at himself and Jordan for being unable to hit a specific pitch when they played baseball.

"I believe so," Sanders responded when asked if Bo Jackson was the best athlete ever before explaining what set him apart from himself and Michael Jordan. "Level of today's time, what Bo Jackson displayed was unbelievable. I mean, Jordan is like me, he couldn't hit the curveball, right? I'm still waiting on the curve. And Bo could."

Zeke reposted this reel without adding anything else, but the conversation Prime and Patrick were having explains why Thomas shared the post with his fans.

This isn't the first time Isiah Thomas has gone after Michael Jordan. The two-time NBA champion has been very vocal about his relationship (or lack thereof) with Jordan.

It doesn't seem like he will stop anytime soon until, as Thomas himself said, MJ apologizes for his comments on the award-winning docu-series The Last Dance.

Isiah Thomas said Chicago Bulls would have won titles without Michael Jordan

In another apparent attempt to bring down Jordan, Isiah Thomas claimed that the Chicago Bulls of the 1990s were good enough to win championships without the legendary shooting guard.

Back in August, an X/Twitter user said that without MJ, the Chicago Bulls would've been championship-less in their history. Thomas replied and gave a dissenting opinion.

"I disagree," Thomas argued. "[Scottie Pippen] and [Toni Kukoc] were good enough at that time to win one, maybe two. Definitely not 6."

Ever since they clashed in the NBA playoffs in the late 80s and early 90s, Jordan and Thomas have had a sour relationship. Everything got worse after Jordan called Thomas an 'a**hole' during the "Last Dance" documentary released in 2020. It's been over 30 years since those clashes happened and the bitterness is still there.
