Isaiah Thomas strongly defends Bad Bunny’s halftime performance

Former NBA star Isaiah Thomas was vocal in his praise for Bad Bunny’s halftime show. He pushed back against criticism of the performance.

“Bad Bunny’s halftime show was so dope!!!!!!” Thomas said. He added, “If you really say Bad Bunny’s performance was bad, something is wrong with you.

“I didn’t know what he was saying, but it was a vibe no matter what. LOVE IS BETTER THAN HATE in every way.”

Thomas focused on the atmosphere and energy of the performance rather than the lyrics.
