But that's just characteristic of ESPN as a whole, right? It seems that since they've got so many conflicts of interest, critical and substantive commentary on anything has become unofficially prohibited. I'd never expect much out of Magic Johnson anyway. It's as if he's graduated from the Micheal Wilbon School of Banal Commentary.

But shouldn't that security be the reason he does play. The guy has 300 million in the bank even if he reinjures himself.

I think his "team" has been talking to him about his long term legacy which is ironic because not answering the call now becomes part of that legacy. As I have written before, this is his 1.8.

AM 1000 reporting D Rose is out tonight.

I guess his boo boo isn't feeling good enough and he needs more time.

I'd call him a gaping vagina, but that's an insult to gaping vaginas.
