Patrick: Do you think Michael single-handedly said ‘I don’t want Isiah on The Dream Team’?
Miller: Yes. Isiah Thomas should have been on that ’92 Dream Team. And people ask ‘who would you have taken off?’ — John Stockton, Clyde Drexler — one of those two guys. Christian Laettner. One of those three guys. Isiah Thomas should have been on that team.
Miller, who has taken to broadcasting after finishing his playing career in the league, was asked if his take was factual or just a nuance of opinion on the rumors that the Bulls legend snubbed his Pistons rival.
“I wouldn’t say for a fact, but those are the unwritten rules that people talk about,” said Miller. “I wouldn’t say it’s MJ alone.”
Patrick then asked how Thomas was snubbed out of a team coached by his very own Pistons head coach Chuck Daly, but Miller was quick to interject:
“It had nothing to do with Chuck Daly because at the time, this was commissioner Stern putting the team together,” said Miller about the Bulls, Pistons, IT and MJ dynamic.
Touching back on the Thomas snub, Miller noted how he thinks the conversation went down:
“I wouldn’t say he said ‘these are the guys I want.’ I believe MJ probably said ‘Okay, I’ll do it, but Isiah cannot be on this team.”
At this point, it’s all conjecture.
And it’s also a lot of fun to speculate on what really went down.
