Isiah Thomas’ birthday shout-out sparks debate among Stephen Curry fans.. full details below ⏬
One wouldn’t have doubted the post to be more than a birthday wish by Isiah Thomas, considering the bond the two have shared, even including the memorable ‘brotherly kiss,’ during the 1988 NBA Finals. But one was quick to point out an ulterior message.
“Sneak diss,” they remarked. Well of course, a dynamic like that would require him to stand by Johnson amid the debate, disguised may it be.But having watched Magic Johnson up close throughout the intense Lakers-Pistons rivalry of the 1980s, to ultimately split the championship, Isiah Thomas knows what he’s talking about.
However, in today’s game, Stephen Curry fans aren’t ready to concede, with one fan cheekily asking, “Have you heard of a man by the name Steph Curry?”Four consecutive 3-pointers against Serbia, coming in clutch, and 8 more beyond the arc in the Finals to drag his 7-point average to 14.8 by the tournament’s end, Curry’s case is fresh in the minds of the viewers. One even posted a picture of Curry alongside a caption: “Big Happy Birthday to Magic, the second-best point guard of all time, and I hope he gets many more blessed years.” While another dropped by to add, “I think Steph Curry was a better point guard, no offense.” Magic Johnson’s legacy, however, speaks for itself. Over his 13 NBA seasons, Johnson averaged 19.5 points, 7.2 rebounds, and an NBA-record 11.2 assists per game. With All-Star assists and three-point baskets also to his name, Thomas had some supporting his view too. “All facts!!! LET IT BE KNOWN!!!” But while the discussions rage on, Magic Johnson himself is far removed from these conversations. He’s been living his best life, enjoying his ‘Magic Summer’ in style.
Just a few days ago, the 5× NBA champion shared a series of photos and a video from his birthday celebrations, showcasing an incredible cake—a miniature version of his yacht Phoenix 2—gifted to him by the yacht’s chefs ahead of his big day.“
