Time to put Magic in the cross hairs

ex carrabba fan · 10-22-2009, 02:42 PM

And Isiah Thomas isn't happy about this.

Apparently Magic, along with Jordan/Malone/Pippen all blackballed Thomas for that Dream Team

Not the smartest of moves by Magic.

Let's face it, this guy is a doofus. I can't stand to hear him talk for more than 10 seconds. He just needs to stay off the air much like Herm Edwards and Tony Dungy. Those personality types piss me off.

It's a damn shame he would do this gossip book just to get some dough. Does he really need the $?

And I see that Larry Bird is the co-author, I can't wait to see what types of things he says.

ehh · 10-22-2009, 02:59 PM

Yeah, who knows why he did it. Financial? An "I'm out of the spotlight so my life is boring and I crave attention" type of move?

Either way it's idiotic, I'm curious to see what else the book has to offer outside of the Zeke section. Sounds like it could be decent but I'm in no rush to give Magic any $.

Of course he needs the money. His money is the cure for AIDS.

Anyways, in all seriousness, its sad Magic has to do this **** talking in a book instead of talking face to face with Isiah.

The way things sound from that article, the Magic/Bird/Jordan etc. days was like a bunch of little gossiping girls backstabbing each other with this, the Jordan All-Star Game incident and I'm sure plenty of other things.

All these I blamed Jordan for keeping Thomas off the Olympic Team. Sad.

ProfessaPackMan · 10-22-2009, 04:51 PM

I thought it was already known that Jordan didn't want Thomas on the Dream Team?

Anyway, it's funny how in the other thread one poster makes Magic out to be a saint and this comes out.

Yeah it was known that MJ didn't want Thomas, but it was mostly believed it was solely MJ and nobody else.

LMAO.

yall funny man,

This dude is trying to sell a book.

They were like best friends.

They have tenderly kissed each other.

I personally think Magic and Zeke are gaming eveyrone right now for money.

Magic prolly told Isiaih all that stuff already, but since hes about to sell this book, Told him act like he didnt know about it, and he would break him off some royalties.

I mean think about it, Its not like he said some detrimental stuff about Isaih that we all didnt know already.

If it was ME and i was tryna come up off a book, thats what i would do

I know Magic is illiterate, but he aint no dummy.
