Magic Johnson and Isiah Thomas. They were once so close that they shared a kiss at midcourt during the NBA Finals. What a difference 20 years makes.

In a new book written by Magic Johnson and Larry Bird, Magic accuses Isiah of spreading gay rumors and sabotaging their friendship.

“I’m really hurt, and I really feel taken advantage of for all these years,” said Thomas, the Hall of Fame point guard and former NBA coach and executive, most recently with the Knicks. “I’m totally blindsided by this. Every time that I’ve seen Magic, he has been friendly with me. Whenever he came to a Knick game, he was standing in the tunnel [to the locker room] with me. He and [Knicks assistant coach] Herb [Williams] and I, we would go out to dinner in New York. I didn’t know he felt this way.”
