Earlier this week, a tweet went viral of an old Michael Jordan game where he went for nearly 60 points on the 'Bad Boy' Pistons. Upon seeing this, Isiah Thomas responded with more facts. While MJ might have had the big game that day, it was the Pistons who went on to the NBA Finals that year.
"35 years ago I led my team Bad Boy Detroit Pistons to the NBA finals, it all depends on which story you want to tell and sale."
