... gay or bisexual after testing positive for HIV in 1991. Isiah denies it. Magic appears to have responded by blackballing Isiah from the 1992 Dream Team. “Isiah killed his own chances when it came to the Olympics.

Who was saying, ‘We need this guy?’ Nobody.” [SI] ...

... .’’ DONUT 7: It’s Isiah vs. Magic (and Bird, and Jordan, and everybody) because of a book . What’s being overlooked here, though, is the fake machismo that bubbles up when a jock is “accused’’ of being gay. I’ve got news for Magic: In 1991, when few knew much about HIV, Isiah Thomas wasn’t the only person around who wondered out loud if Magic Johnson must be gay. Really, once you've beaten HIV, shouldn't you be able to overcome homophobia? DONUT 8: The Mavs tipoff tonight in Houston at 7:30.
