Magic Johnson, Who’s Gay???

According to eurweb.com, former Detroit Piston Isiah Thomas is outraged about a book that Magic Johnson is going to be putting out. In this book Magic accuses Isiah of spreading rumors about Magic being gay. In the book, Magic’s biggest accusation is that Isiah spread rumors saying that Magic because Magic had obtained HIV, he was indeed gay or bisexual. Magic was quoted saying that he felt like Isiah “kicked him in the stomach.”

He also said how Isiah was black balled from the 1992 Olympics because of this.

“Isiah killed his own chances when it came to the [1992] Olympics. Nobody on that team wanted to play with him. … Michael didn’t want to play with him. Scottie [Pippen] wanted no part of him. Bird wasn’t pushing for him. Karl Malone didn’t want him. Who was saying, ‘We need this guy?’ Nobody.”

What does Isiah Thomas have to say about all of this? Well according to him, this is something Magic ran with off a piece of misinformation. And how does he feel about being blackballed? Well here is his words on that.

 ”I’m glad that he’s finally had the nerve and the courage to stand up and say it was him, as opposed to letting Michael Jordan take the blame for it all these years. I wish he would have had the courage to say this stuff to me face to face, as opposed to writing it in some damn book to sell and he can make money off it.”
