it's pretty clear from this sordid tale—and Michael Jordan's Hall of Fame speech, among other incidents—that pretty much every superstar you idolized as a kid is a selfish, insecure, backstabbing prick. Of course, that's also why they were all such awesome basketball players.

Brilliant

magic is a bitch. can't believe he would spring this publicly instead of being a man about his supposed issues. isiah would kick that shit out of magic and his fake-ass bitch smile. i don't care if he's 6-1, i would put money on zeke to kick the shit out of magic's fat ass anyday.

very sad news though. really tarnishes what was once a great story, their friendship through rivalry.

agreed. except for joe d- one of the few class acts who is everything he appears to be. no ego there.

i know he wasn't in the class of those alltime greats but he's right there. i guess if he were more of an asshole he could've been the G.O.A.T.. lol

That's solid. Don't forget Isiah's life during and after basketball.

Can we get your thoughts on this, RENT-A-CENTER?

This is old news being warmed over for ratings. Here's the news from 1992:

That accusation is old news, but magic saying all his pussy shit on the side is new. Whatever, that's for them to work out, but not really anything classy on Magic's part what so ever.

I know Thomas isn't exactly everyone's favourite but he seems to be taking quite a few hits the last few years.

Surely something has got to go right for the man soon..

When in doubt, I side against the guy who's trying to sell a book.

i vaguely remember the story from back then but it seems like forever ago. and i don't recall it going very far. obviously we live in a different age with media and the internet, etc. stories blow up a lot quicker and a lot bigger now.

but still, i don't think it was much back then. or maybe i just mentally swept it under the carpet and dismissed it.

in any case, i still say magic is a bitch for going public like this. money hungry bitch.

poor zeke. fairly or unfairly, his rep has never been worse. it's such a shame for me to see a legend like him facing constant criticism and public scrutiny. he's a great guy at heart IMO and a warrior like i've never seen on the court. still the greatest PG ever IMO.
