'You can show me anything you want,' Jordan said.'There’s no way you can convince me he wasn’t a (jerk).'
First, Thomas said that Laimbeer told him,"we’re not shaking their hands." Then, Thomas said that most of the Boston Celtics walked off the floor without shaking hands as well after the Pistons beat them in in the 1988 Eastern Conference finals. Thomas said that Boston forward Kevin McHale only shook his hand after he had stopped him at halfcourt.
It also hurt the Pistons. Thomas conceded he knew what the outcome meant well before the Bulls ultimately won three consecutive NBA championships. That did not matter. Jordan still got the ball. He pulled up for a jumper near the free-throw line. The shot went in. Jordan leaped into the air. When he landed, he pumped his right fist repeatedly. The Bulls eliminated Cleveland, but"They had Craig Ehlo on me at the time, which honestly, was a mistake," Jordan said."The guy that played me better was Ron Harper.""I said, 'Coach, I got MJ. I got MJ,'"Harper recalled saying.
Jordan was elated and vindicated. Before tip-off, Jordan chastised three Chicago writers for picking the Cavaliers to win the series. Jordan did the same thing afterwards.
