    "Former Knicks president/coach Isiah Thomas is pilloried in a new documentary that celebrates the 20th anniversary of the 1992 "Dream Team'' in which he was purposely left off. The 90-minute production - produced by Right Guard - airs Wednesday night on NBATV.

    In a sneak preview shown at The NBA Finals for media Monday night, Michael Jordan reveals one of the "stipulations'' for him joining the Dream Team was having his Pistons rival not included but claimed the sentiment also came from the top.

    It has been long speculated Jordan kept Thomas off the club but the documentary reveals the snub ran deeper than just MJ.

    Jordan's Bulls teammate, Scottie Pippen, also said he didn't want Thomas on the club.

    "I despised how he played the game,'' Pippen said of Thomas.

    Pippen charged that Thomas spearheaded Detroit's "Bad Boys'' and incited the rough play."

    That wasn't exactly a secret. Even a lot of Isiah's teammates hated him when he was on the Pistons. He had a reputation as someone who was unlikable and hard to be around.
