Thomas said that when he was watching The Last Dance with his family, he thought everything was fine. The guy came on TV and said that he hated me and then called me an assh-e. I watched a documentary about him being an assh-e. Time out is what I'm asking for. I'm from the west side of Chicago and this beef is going on for a long time.

The 10-part documentary largely celebrated Jordan's on-court greatness, but there were times, such as when he chewed out teammates and punched Steve Kerr, when he wasn't appreciated.

The rivalry between the Pistons and Bulls was a central storyline of the documentary.

The Bulls lost to Thomas' Pistons in the second round of the 1988 playoffs, the 1989 Eastern Conference Finals and the 1990 Eastern Conference Finals. Detroit developed its Bad Boys reputation by taking a physical approach.

Jordan credited the Pistons' style when explaining how he changed his approach as his career progressed.

The Chicago Bulls beat the Los Angeles Lakers in the 1991 NBA Finals after sweeping the Pistons in the Eastern Conference finals. One of the best dynasties in the sport's history was achieved by the Bulls.

Many of the Pistons, including Thomas, walked off the court without shaking hands while there was still time on the clock in the final game of the series, which upset Jordan.

He talked a lot about his displeasure with Thomas during the documentary.
