Get Your 2012 Playbills, Bird/ Magic Going To Broadway

"The playwright behind the Broadway play "Lombardi" is moving from the gridiron to the basketball court.
Eric Simonson is working on "Magic/Bird," a new play that will chronicle the lives of Hall of Famers Larry Bird and Magic Johnson." Boston.com

With the success of Lombardi, I'm pretty sure we are entering the new fad in Broadway. I'm not a big Broadway guy, but would be the first in line to see this. The documentary on HBO was awesome, I bought the book but realized I can't read, but heard it was good, so I'm sure the play will be great as well.

It's a real interesting story about two people who's careers constantly clash and their personalities are polar opposite. Plus anything that involves the Celtics is alright in my book.

Magic Throws Isiah Thomas Under The Bus

"Isiah killed his own chances when it came to the Olympics," Magic Johnson said in the book, an advance copy of which was obtained by The AP. "Nobody on that team wanted to play with him. ... I'm sad for Isiah. He has alienated so many people in his life, and he still doesn't get it. He doesn't understand why he wasn't chosen for that Olympic team and that's really too bad. You should be aware when you've ticked off more than half of the NBA." Those are some pretty harsh and hysterical words from Magic Johnson's book. I hate Isiah Thomas, he's one of the biggest scumbags in the world, and so glad he isn't affiliated with any NBA team now. I can't really talk about how he was when he played because I wasn't alive (If anyone has any good Isiah stories put them in the comment section) but I'm sure he was a scumbag then too. Isiah's response was that of a beaten man's response; "I'm just disappointed and hurt," Thomas told The Associated Press on Thursday night before a promotional event for his men's basketball team at FIU. "I never thought it was him who kept me off the Olympic team. That hurt." And I couldn't be happier that he is hurt.

Magic Says Kobe Is Better Than Pierce

"Paul would like to think he's better than Kobe," said Johnson with a hearty laugh. "But Kobe Bryant is the best closer in the game. He's the best player in the game. You have to remember he's done it for a long time at a high level.

Um, yea, sure Magic. Kobe is just as good of a player as Phil Jackson is a coach. Fortunate. If it wasn't for Kobe's good fortune to be teamed up with Shaq he wouldn't have won any titles, and if Phil Jackson wasn't fortunate enough to coach MJ and Shaq he wouldn't be tied with Red Auerbach for most titles ever won. Paul Pierce is not only the best basketball player in the league right now, he is the most clutch. Pierce has been clutch on teams with half the talent Kobe has played with his whole career. Before you go talking about Kobe's three rings remember when he was playing with Shaq, Pierce was leading a team to the Eastern Conference finals with Antoine Walker as his sidekick.

Plus Magic.
