Isiah Thomas Wants Michael Jordan to Apologize on National Television

• Isiah Thomas wants Michael Jordan to apologize for his remarks about him
• The two basketball legends have had a feud lasting for nearly four decades
• Thomas and Jordan faced off many times in the late 1980s and early 1990s

Michael Jordan and Isiah Thomas's long-running beef has no end despite both NBA icons retiring from the sport decades ago.

There was a new twist a few days ago, when the Detroit Pistons legend asked the Chicago Bulls legend to apologize on national television for a remark he made about him.

Jordan made his feelings toward Thomas known during The Last Dance documentary that chronicles his rise to superstardom with the Bulls in the 1990s.

Their feud didn't start with the documentary, though. Their teams used to battle for the Eastern Conference crown in the last 1980s and early 1990s and faced off in the playoffs for four straight years, from 1988 to 1991.

Jordan later admitted he did not appreciate the Pistons players walking off the court before the buzzer.
