Typical back stabbing Sparty.

especially when you take into account that they kissed each other at half court and Isaiah was literally the only player willing to body him up up (or stand within 5 feet o him) for fear of catching AIDS when Magic played in the 92 All Star Game.
Glad they cleared up the Dream Team thing too, since the standing rumor had always been that it was Jordan's retaliation for Zeke allegedly orchestrating a freeze out (aka "don't pass the ball to him" LOL) of Jordan at the 85 or 86 All Star Game.

Nicole Ritchie and Paris Hilton circa 2004 only I care less about it....didn't someone coin the term FRENEMY for these girlie public spats?

...what really happened in any of these incidents, but for some reason Isaiah Thomas has a long history being unfairly victimized. If only 20% of the things that are said about him are true, he would have to be considered a spectacular jerk.

about Zeke being blackballed from the dream team.
Kind of a surprise that Magic was in on it, I had always thought it was Jordan alone.
Maybe Zeke forgot to pickup the check at Red Lobster?

I see this "feud" as an attempt to pump-up book sales.

On a side note, it's funny that Michael Jordan taking nine shots in 22 minutes in the 1985 All-Star Game is somehow cited as proof that he was "frozen out." How many shots did he expect to take in that much time? The guys playing around him were pretty good, too.

it's an all-star game. who cares about it?

however when the score of the game is 140-129 and the player is a star shooting guard and not a Detlef Schrempf type, it seems more reasonable.
