The rivalry between the Bulls and Pistons escalated to the point where MJ threatened to leave the Olympic team if Isiah Thomas was also selected to be on the team. Pippen joined in with MJ in this feud and so Isiah was left off the infamous dream team and has never won Olympic Gold.

Here is a interesting fact about Jordan. You know how good Kobe Bryant is. Well in an era where you are not allowed to hand check and hold players (as you were able to do in Jordan's day) Kobe shoots just 45% from the field and averages about 23 or 24 points for his career. Jordan on the other hand was held and hand check which takes a lot of energy from you, and before his stint with the Wizards, averaged over 32 points a game and shot over 52 percent from the field. If he was in his prime today and played when no one was allowed to hand check him (a new rule after he retired the second time) He would probably average 40 or more and close to 60% from the field. That is how good that dude must have been.

1. As a high school sophomore, he was cut from the basketball team by his coach.
2. When he'd play one-on-one with his brother Larry, he'd rarely, if ever, win.
