The new year is here, folks. And while the typical greeting wishes for a happy, wholesome start, for Isiah Thomas, the beginning was anything but. Due to some shoddy work at the airport, Thomas had to miss out on a special NBA TV appearance. As a result, the Detroit Pistons legend was understandably upset.
“I experienced a level of incompetence and disrespect @Delta #HPN airport today on my way to work. To all my fans who were looking forward to seeing me on @NBATV tonight you can blame @Delta for not letting me on the flight which I had a paid ticket and seat assignment. Happy 2024”

The 2x NBA Champion was upset by the treatment. Frankly, it’s hard to blame him. Even though the entire story isn’t out, a paid ticket and seat assignment should typically not cause any issues. But, alas, that isn’t the case here.
For fans tuning in to NBA TV for a glimpse at Zeke, it might be a disappointing night. His insight into the situation might be invaluable with his beloved Pistons finally snapping a historic losing streak.
For their part, the $25.89 billion worth Delta, was quick in their response, asking for many details to rectify the situation. But, the message reeking of auto-generation might be the worst route to assuage Thomas’ anger. “Hello Isiah, thanks for reaching out today and we regret to hear about this experience. Our goal is to provide the highest possible standard of service in all areas of our operations, and I am sorry we failed to meet your expectations. Please DM if we can assist you.”

Fans, however, poked some fun at Isiah’s fate with some Michael Jordan memes.
While Isiah Thomas faces disrespect, fans bring out his past to haunt him
During the majority of his career, especially at the peak of his powers, Isiah Thomas’ Pistons were embroiled in a heated rivalry with the Chicago Bulls. While the feud was typically one-sided, revisionist history has led many to shift towards the Jordan side.
However, the reality of the situation remains that Thomas and his team had their way with Michael. But, due to common perceptions, the usual belief is far different. As a result, looking at his outburst, fans were quick to respond with some memes involving the Bulls legend.
Whether it was photoshopping an image of Michael on an airport personnel that even drew a response from Delta, or MJ watching a clip meme from The Last Dance documentary, the comments were nothing if not hilarious.
Let’s hope the situation can be remedied and reach an amicable ending. Happy 2024.
