Magic Johnson and Isiah Thomas were once regarded as the closest of friends and basketball legends. The two were inseparable, on and off the court, leading the Detroit Pistons and Los Angeles Lakers, respectively, to multiple NBA championships. However, their friendship came to an abrupt end in the late 1980s when Magic publicly announced that he had contracted HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. Many speculated that Magic's revelation would forever change the dynamic between the two players, as people feared the virus and its transmission. Isiah, initially supportive of Magic, faced backlash from teammates and others in the basketball community for expressing concern about playing against Magic in the 1992 Olympics. Isiah, being a fierce competitor, believed that playing against someone with HIV was a legitimate fear and risk.
