So Magic Johnson writes a new book and its clearly a tell all. He puts all this ish in their about Isiah Thomas and the problem with that is, he never told Thomas this stuff after all the years of their fake friendship.
Among the claims in Magic’s new book is one saying that Thomas questioned Magic’s sexuality after he was diagnosed with HIV. Thomas told SI.com Thursday that he was hurt by the criticism from someone he thought was a friend.
“I really feel taken advantage of for all these years,” Thomas said. “I’m totally blindsided by this. Every time that I’ve seen Magic, he has been friendly with me.”
In “When the Game was Ours,” to be published Nov. 4, Johnson claims that Thomas made calls to various NBA contacts after Johnson was diagnosed in 1991, and asked whether Johnson was gay.
“How can a so-called friend question your sexuality like that,” Johnson asks. “I know why he did it, because we used to kiss before games, and now if people were wondering about me, that meant they were wondering about him, too.”
Johnson goes on to say that his distrust contributed to his failure to lobby for Thomas’ inclusion on the legendary 1992 Olympic “Dream Team.” Johnson lists the different reasons why he believes the other players on that team didn’t want Thomas on the roster.
“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,” Thomas said.
It was supposed to be the best day of their lives. Former New Jersey Nets star Richard Jefferson and onetime Nets dancer Kesha Ni’Cole Nichols were set to tie the knot at the Mandarin Oriental last Saturday. But in an unexpected turn of events, Jefferson bailed the night before their wedding. The cold-footed fiancé ditched his stunning bride-to-be at such late notice that some guests had already shown up to the extravagant $2 million event that never took place. Jefferson — who was traded to the San Antonio Spurs in June — dumped Nichols just before the weekend, according to sources. Although Nichols, 29, immediately called her family and friends to alert them of the ill-timed news, the basketball pro waited much longer. “He called about two hours before the wedding. It was nuts,” said one Jefferson pal. Although Jefferson never showed up to the hotel, he made sure to give his best friend his Black Amex credit card, with which the guests made good use of during the night. A jilted Nichols, who was “not entirely caught off-guard,” checked into the hotel and was upgraded to a suite on the 45th floor overlooking Central Park on what would have been her wedding night, according to a source at the hotel.
“She just wants to keep this as quiet as possible and move on,” a Nichols family insider told FoxSports. “She’s doing just fine.”
Sounds like she might of gotten busted doing something crazy at her bachelorette party. This whole thing sounds crazy, but Jefferson had enough money to stop himself from making a bad mistake. Usually people are pressured to go through with weddings no matter what they find out because of all the finances invested. You Can’t even be mad at him if this is what’s best.
Baron Davis, the 6′ 3″ L.A. Clippers guard, is the new man on the Jenny plan.
Inspired by current spokeswoman Latifah, Davis, 29, started the plan at the beginning of August to get in shape for basketball season.
“I know Queen Latifah, and when I saw her out there using it, I thought maybe I could use it, too, to work on my health and fitness goals and inspire others.” (more…)
Congratulations are in order. Ray Allen of the 2008 World Champion Boston Celtics married Shannon Walker Williams this weekend in Martha’s Vineyard. They looked extremely happy. I liked the colors to.
I hope she don’t end up like the girl in the next post…..just playing, just playing. I hope Ray picks his women better than Mike Misick!
Cops tried to get Paul Pierce for a DUI but they couldn’t. They made him take two take two field sobriety tests and a breathalyzer because they said they smelled alcohol on his breath. Pierce still didn’t blow more than .08 which means your impaired. He was pulled over in Las Vegas at 3:30 this morning after he was said to be “driving erratically.” Pierce was driving his white BMW and he made an illegal lane change without signaling. He’ll get a ticket but no jail time.
Chicago Bulls forward Joakim Noah was arrested this morning on charges of possession of marijuana and having an open container of alcohol.
