Damn@that last quote.

Still, Magic was showing flashing of greatness even in the decline. Remember his first comeback in 96 he dropped a triple double including 36 points in his first game back.

Edit: Actually he didnt but he had a double double. He was still getting it in.

I wonder how many Mike put in Clyde's pocket during that famous Magic vs Mike Dream Team practice? You saw how Magic was describing that practice, he said Mike was pissin' on Clyde and telling him about it. I suspect that Magic was telling him about it to. "You got to get him back Clyde, you got to get him back".

I don't see where all this truth is at yet. I haven't seen a good argument here for what he said.

It's because they didn't have the internet, AAU teams, play on Olympic and USA teams every two years like today's players do.

So they stayed salty with each other by not really knowing each other.

These. They came up with a certain mindset that is pretty much impossible in today's game. They didn't have tens or even hundreds of millions to take their mind off shyt either. Much harder to be mad at a nikka 20 years later for some shyt when you sitting on $100 mil and haven't had to lift a finger since you retired.

Explain Jordan, Shaq, Magic, Isiah, Malone, etc. then. All of the cats got long paper and plenty of bitterness and beefs.

Glide wasn't being bitter, he was being real. Who would wanna play against somebody with HIV? especially back then. Would you being trying to bump up against somebody with HIV while playing basketball? Basketball causes everybody to sweat or even bleeding in some cases. Who wants to touch a HIV person's body fluids?

Youre from Texas...so is Clyde.

I see where the reading comprehension problems begin.

He said NOTHING like what you've just manufactured

I never said that Clyde said those things. I was writing about the part where he basically said people took it easy on him. So I posed the question, wouldn't you take it easy on Magic? would you really play Magic hard? I couldn't see myself playing against somebody with that virus knowing that he could bleed anytime or swap bodily fluids.

Considering how little people knew of the disease back then, which seems to be the place you're currently stuck at, and compared to now, hell yeah because the swapping of bodily fluids to transfer HIV is through means other playing ball against someone.

So would you play against somebody with HIV now and not be hesitant? You can still get it transferred through cuts or open sores
