Fox Sports’ Nick Wright called Michael Jordan a “total and complete loser” without Scottie Pippen in an episode of “First Things First” last week.

NBA Hall of Famer Isiah Thomas agrees.

In a segment entitled “What The Media Doesn’t Want You To Know” about Jordan, Wright also said that people pretend Jordan’s career was only six years long and that his record against the big teams of the time was poor.

He also called out Jordan out for never beating Larry Bird.

Watch Wright’s brutal assessment of Jordan here:

Thomas, who played for the Detroit Pistons between 1981 and 1994, later quoted the video, saying: "GOAT debate facts."

Jordan and Thomas have a bitter history

The pair's mutual disdain began in 1985, when Thomas allegedly conspired to freeze Jordan out during the NBA's All-Star Game, according to The Undefeated, though Thomas denied the claims.

Three years later, Thomas was then controversially omitted from the USA's 1992 Olympic Dream Team, which many believed was due to his feud with Jordan.

In the 10-part Netflix docuseries The Last Dance, Jordan said he wasn't responsible, but that he believed Thomas' inclusion would have been detrimental to the team's chemistry.

"You want to attribute it to me, go ahead and be my guest, but it wasn't me," Jordan said, according to USA Today.

"The Dream Team, based on the environment and the camaraderie that happened on that team, it was the best harmony. Would Isiah have made a different feeling on that team? Yes."

Jordan later added on the show that while he "hated" Thomas and believe him to be an "a--hole" – he still respected his countryman's game and considers him as the second best point guard in NBA history, behind only Magic Johnson.
