Maybe next time ESPN will check their picture of Isiah Thomas before having him on.

Isiah Thomas is a believer in the old saying that a picture is worth a thousand words. The NBA Hall-of-Famer had an interesting interview with an ESPN Radio show on Wednesday morning. Thomas seemed to be slightly perturbed about a photo used of him during his phone interview with Keyshawn, JWill, & Max. He was actually so annoyed by the photo that Thomas hung up. The photo in question seemed to show a very serious moment, with Thomas not sharing a smile.

Thomas felt slighted by the serious photo. Because he felt the guests before him had photos of showing them in a happy setting. Whereas Thomas' photo showed the former Pistons star in a more serious moment. Thomas teased show co-host Keyshawn Johnson about not looking out for him at the moment. Max Kellerman and Johnson both didn't seem to take the issue too seriously. But after Thomas hung up over the matter, the feelings of Thomas seemed to start setting in. Check out the video of the moment below.

Isiah Thomas Not Happy With ESPN

Thomas has been no stranger to holding on to anger. Recently, the NBA analyst discussed his rivalry with Michael Jordan. In those discussions, Thomas stated that Jordan owes him an apology for the way he was portrayed in "The Last Dance." However, Jordan has yet to make a public statement on Thomas' desire for him to apologize. One would think that we also will never hear Jordan speak on the matter. Thomas and Jordan have long been rivals, and that isn't changing any time soon.

Isiah Thomas' moment on ESPN this morning was strange. Many are still of the belief that he was messing around with Johnson and Kellerman. However, it does feel like Thomas had real anger toward the photo used. Do you believe this is a non-issue that Thomas shouldn't be worried about? Or is this issue just a small part of a more significant issue that Thomas and others may deal with? Leave us your thoughts on the situation in the comment section.
