I'm not sure why this is such a big deal now, considering Larry Bird already released all this same information in his book from the mid 90's called Bird Watching which he also wrote with Jackie.

Interesting read.

Good article by the kid. (21 year old)....I can only hope that one of my sons stand up for me if anything happens like this to me.

The question is will one of Magic's two sons (28 and 17 yrs old) respond to this article defending their dad??

Would be better for them to come out and say Isiah's son is right, lol.

Just saw the crap ~~Magic~~Ervin insinuated about Isiah regurgitated on the ~~Magic~~Ervin/Bird HBO Documentary. Note: ~~Magic~~Ervin wouldn't say it himself. He had a guest appearance claim Isiah turned on ~~Magic~~Ervin.

...Way to go Ervin.

Zeke will probably take a bigger hit here, but will also show how selfish and what haters Bird, Pippen, Magic, and Malone were. The game should be about playing the best to represent the USA and not about who you don't like.

I have only read the excerpts of this book, but already my respect for Magic and the others have drop a point.

Don't forget Jordan.
