"Everybody Felt Sorry For Magic Because They Were Waiting For Him To Die" -Clyde Drex

[Ed MOTHERFUCKING G]

Its like I cosign and smh @ 2 parts of the though

In 92 we did not know about hiv like we learned, partially BECAUSE of magic...hiv was a DEATH SENTANCE like...immediately in 92, but we know more now. So yes, people thought magic was gonna die quickly then.

But to hold a grudge over the fukking all star game mvp? fukk outta here clyde. You're just mad because lebron stole your hairline.

 

[Regular_P]

If the book is full of other 100% truthful accounts ill have to pick it up.

This.

God knows what he'll say about blowing that 18-point lead to Chicago in Game 6.

He sounds bitter as hell though. That's always entertaining.

 

[Arrogance.]

Clyde sounds mad

The quotes themselves seem valid to a certain degree but I can hear the venom in his words. fukk did Magic do to him?

 

[The_Sheff]

He didnt sound bitter to me, just stating the truth. It seems like whenever someone speaks on a topic and it could be taken as negative its always seen as being bitter. If its gonna be a book with everyone just sucking each others dikks then there wouldnt even be a point in writing it. I hope everyone else he interviewed is 100% honest.

 

[Amare's Right Hook]

Someone had to say it.

i aint buying the he was on the decline like clyde made it seem. sure he was going down a bit. and he was never a stellar defender at that height and not being super athletic. that aint new news.

magic when he came back from retirement average basically 18ppg, 7 rpg, and 8 apg. and thats a aids magic. a fat magic out of shape magic thats older. if he's doing that playing PF instead of playing PG. that late in his career. what the heck is clyde talking about?

what clyde doesnt realize is this. if he won mvp that year. NO ONE would ever remember. so who cares.

 

[Alexander The Great]

Magic lead his team to the nba finals, just the year before.












































oh and uh...who did he beat to so that?

Fuuuuuuuuuuu!!! Cold shyt right there. But lets keep it real, we WERE all waiting for Magic to die, not cuz we hold anything against him. I don't think anyone expected him to live this long with HIV and look as healthy as he does.

yea I was about to say that he had two triple doubles in the 1991 NBA Finals. I don't think the was on the decline at all...Lakers yes, but Magic still had the talent to carry a team to the playoffs

Very vulgar

Dream team News, Video and Gossip - Deadspin

Sports Illustrated's Jack McCallum followed the Dream Team around during the 1992 Olympics, and he has a new book, Dream Team, which covers the team in great detail. McCallum writes about the NBA climate before Barcelona, the team's various selection controversies, their legendary practices, and the games themselves.

McCallum also visits some of the Dream Teamers in 2011. One is Clyde Drexler, who hasn't let go of his old bitter feelings about Magic Johnson, his HIV-afflicted teammate. Magic learned he was HIV-positive before the 1991 NBA season and retired quickly. He came back for the 1992 NBA All-Star Game, and had 25 points and nine assists. He also kept his spot on the Dream Team. Clyde was not pleased about any of that.

"Magic was always..." And Drexler goes into a decent Magic impression: "'Come on, Clyde, come on, Clyde, get with me, get with me,' and making all that noise. And, really, he couldn't play much by that time. He couldn't guard his shadow."

"But you have to have to understand what was going on then. Everybody kept waiting for Magic to die. Every time he'd run up the court everybody would feel sorry for the guy, and he'd get all that benefit of the doubt. Magic came across like, 'All this is my stuff.' Really? Get outta here, dude. He was on the declining end of his career."

Drexler had played exquisitely in the 1992 All-Star Game in Orlando, although the MVP award eventually went to Magic, who had been added by Commissioner Stern as a special thirteenth player to the Western Conference roster. "If we all knew Magic was going to live this long, I would've gotten the MVP of that game, and Magic probably wouldn't have made the Olympic team."
