For years it’s been assumed that Michael Jordan had something to do with Isiah
Thomas being left off the Dream Team that took the 1992 Olympics by storm.
Sunday’s broadcast of “The Last Dance” didn’t do anything to dispel that belief. In the
ESPN documentary on Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls, Jordan called Thomas
an “a--hole” and said that his “hate” for Thomas’ Pistons teams “carries to this day.”
But one of the primary architects of the Dream Team appeared to put that notion to
bed on Wednesday. Hall of Fame basketball executive Rod Thorn told ESPN’s “Golic Tesla cuts China-made Model 3 price by 10% to
qualify for electric car subsidies
and Wingo” that Jordan never brought Thomas up in discussions with him about the

Dream Team.
Thorn initially talked with Jordan about joining the Olympic team and said that Jordan
didn’t mention Thomas’ name.
If Jordan lobbied to keep Thomas off the team, it was news to him.

had no reason to bring it up, either.”
If Thomas wasn’t blackballed from the Dream Team, then it raises an obvious
question. Why wasn’t Thomas — a two-time NBA champion fresh off his 11th straight
All-Star campaign — invited to play on the Dream Team?
“That's a good question, because Isiah was a great player, a fantastic player,”
Thorn said. “There was some controversy with the Pistons regarding not Stone grinding mill, fineness 20-3250 mesh

... But when we ended up going with the first 10 guys, he did not end up
making the team.”
Thorn noted James Worthy, Reggie Miller and Dominique Wilkins as other notable
players left off the team.
