NBA legend Michael Jordan has made peace with a number of his former opponents in the years since retiring from the league.
But he has definitely not made peace with Isiah Thomas, and it sounds like he won’t any time soon.
Speaking on “The Draymond Green Show,” via NBACentral, Thomas was quite frank about what Jordan has to do to make their relationship right.
“Until he apologizes on international television… ain’t no conversation,” Thomas said.
Thomas is still upset over the things that Jordan said about him over the years and in the highly-watched documentary, “The Last Dance.”

During their years together in the NBA, Jordan and Thomas were frequent opponents and butted heads many times.
Jordan was competitive with many different players during his career but the rivalry between him and Thomas ran deeper.
Years later, some thought that the two icons of the game had put it all behind them but that apparently isn’t the case.
The “Last Dance” documentary featured Jordan speaking honestly about his opinions of many people, including Thomas.
That apparently didn’t sit well with the former Detroit Pistons star.
Thomas claims that Jordan would have to apologize on international television to make things right but it seems very unlikely that he’d do that because Jordan isn’t the type of person to retract statements and say that he’s sorry.
So these two basketball greats will probably not be friends any time soon.
It’s somewhat surprising to see Thomas speak so candidly about all of this, as many other people in his position would have sugar-coated it or avoided the subject altogether.
That just shows how much Jordan’s statements really bothered him.
