Newly Surfaced Audio Of Michael Jordan Contradicting His "Last Dance" Comments About Isiah Thomas! "If Isiah Is On The Dream Team.. I Won't Play"

Maybe this will put an end to the lingering debate, reignited by ESPN’s “The Last Dance” documentary, over whether Michael Jordan refused to play for the 1992 U.S. Olympic Dream Team if Isiah Thomas were chosen.

In somewhat murky audio of a 2011 interview with the author of a book on the fabled team, His Airness says as much, and Jack McCallum, whose “Dream Team” book was published in 2012, backs that up.

"It was insinuated that I was asking about him. But I never threw his name in there,” Jordan said in “The Last Dance.” “Based on the environment and camaraderie that happened on that team, it was the best harmony. Would Isiah have made a different feeling on that team? Yes. You want to attribute it to me? Go ahead; be my guest. But it wasn’t me [who kept him off the team]."
