MJ used to punch teammates in practice. The guy was ruthless. There's no way he would be as good today simply because the media and tenacious reporters always prying. He would snap at press conferences after losses and his rep would be crap. I loved his fire, but he grew great in a very sheltered environment compared to today. He would get exposed for stuff like this Isaiah Thomas stuff so much more...

He told the people organizing the dream team that he wouldn't play if Thomas was.

Thomas also supposedly told all the players not to pass the ball to MJ during an All-Star game.

Literally the last person MJ would be willing to play with.

This x 100.
 
Fwiw I'm not going to worry about how much each player liked each other when I vote.
I will look at how pieces fit but not how personalities would get along.

I have no idea how barkley would get along with lebron.

How shaq would get along with dr J.
Etc etc.

Also not going to worry about how travel, diet, athletic trainers, etc would affect the older guys vs the younger guys. My vote won't worry about that crap. This is a fantasy situation, not 100% reality.

We know for a fact Jordan and Isiah wouldn't get along its that simple. We have proof. We don't with other tandems. Same goes for teammates that were successful if you can pair them up you get bonus points.

No we don't.
We know that they didn't get along as fierce competitors when going against one another.

We have no idea if they would get along on the same team together.
Im gonna say that they both want to win bad enough that they work things out.

Jordan literally kept Isiah off of the Dream Team and would not have played if he was included.
 
We know that kobe and shaq didn't like each other. They won 3 chips in a row. Why? Because talent wins.

Shaq and Kobe hated each other, won 4 rings. Players get over it and play.
