PLAYERS: Isiah Thomas
Once the NBA's most famous friendship, Isiah Thomas and Magic Johnson are feuding. Livid about criticisms by Magic in an upcoming book, Isiah is now firing back, writes Ian Thomsen.

    i suspect that everything magic said in his book is true, and that isiah the narcissist is just doing damage control because his ego can't stand yet another hit. it's all been downhill since 1990 for him.

    I think Magic is being suspect i can see with the All Star game scenario seemed suspect but even then Thomas elaborated on that particular aspect. Isiah has even went as far to provide references for things that were pointed out in the book. You have to think if Magic was such an outcast how could he be able to help Isiah get a job as a coach for the Knicks? Also if Isiah is upset about being in the low light..why isn't he griping about his current place of employment.

      magic an outcast? you just pulled that out of your ass. magic is an nba owner. he works as a broadcasts nba games. he is entrenched in the nba. isiah is nothing but a black eye on the game, so much so that he tried to off himself with pills and claim that it was actually his daughter. he took the only job offered to him, one that appears to be a publicity ploy by FIU.

      in his post playing career, everything he touched turned to dust. toronto raptors drafted mcgrady but lost him. bought the cba and it immediately disintegrated under his watch. took a finals pacers team and turned them into a .500 ball club. and the knicks. well there is just too much to write there.

      every step of the way he's refused to admit culpability for his weak basketball insight in a front office capacity. magic has nothing to gain from putting isiah on blast, and much to lose.

    You're delusional if you think Magic wasn't or may still be an outast you think those comments that karl malone made wasn't echoed by other players..in which may have made him go public and mention what he did?. He's a hall of famer but he's not pulling people jobs just because "it's Magic" what's going ot happen if the people Isaiah metioned validate that that's not correct. Nobody fkin with Magic Johnson like that and who gives a fk if he's a sports caster... WHO ISN'T Magic can't even fking talk like he took 6th grade english ...that's like saying Jalen Rose should be able to get someone a job because they're a sportscaster. And you mention Isaiah fkin teams up ..this is the gist of this SOME PLAYERS CANNOT COACH ... How did Larry Bird fair when he was a coach??? How did Kevin McHale do as a coach and a GM? yea... i know the answer

      you clearly don't know your shiz. larry bird? larry bird? you wanna talk larry bird? HE WAS A COACH OF THE YEAR. HE TOOK THE INDIANA PACERS TO THE NBA FINALS. oh and it's not 'fair' it's how did he 'fare'.

      you really think that magic is a pariah because of his HIV status? you probably think that you can get AIDS from shaking hands.

      idiot.
