Great read over at CNNSI.com about the blowup between Isiah Thomas and Magic Johnson over Magic’s upcoming book “When the Game Was Ours.” In it, Magic accuses Isiah of questioning his sexuality. There’s also this gem: “Isiah killed his own chances when it came to the Olympics. Nobody on that team wanted to play with him. … Michael didn’t want to play with him. Scottie [Pippen] wanted no part of him. Bird wasn’t pushing for him. Karl Malone didn’t want him. Who was saying, ‘We need this guy?’ Nobody.”

Slam’s Top 50 NBA Players of All-Time

Here’s their top 10:

1 - Michael Jordan
2 - Wilt Chamberlain
3 - Bill Russell
4 - Shaquille O’Neal
5 - Oscar Robertson
6 - Magic Johnson
7 - Kareem Abdul Jabbar
8 - Tim Duncan
9 - Larry Bird
10 - Jerry West

Because it’ll piss some people off: LeBron’s at 42, ahead of Dominique Wilkins (43) and Steve Nash (50), but behind Clyde Drexler (39) and Allen Iverson (41). Hmmm.

Agree or disagree? Who’s in your top 10? Should Kobe (currently 12th) be top 10 material - if not, what does Bryant have to do in order to be top 10?
