New audio has surfaced that directly contradicts Michael Jordan’s take on not having any “specific involvement” with blocking Isiah Thomas from being on the 1992 Dream Team.
On Jack McCallum’s The Dream Team Tapes, Jordan can clearly be heard saying if Thomas is on the team, he won’t play.
I said, ‘Rod, I won’t play if Isiah Thomas is on the team.’

Michael Jordan and Isiah Thomas’ feud stemmed from their rivalry on the court when Thomas and his Pistons walked off the court without shaking Jordan and his teammate’s hand after the Bulls finally defeated Detroit in the 1991 NBA Playoffs.
