Magic seeks forgiveness from Isiah In a recent interview with First Take, Magic Johnson opened up about his estranged relationship with former Lakers player Isiah Thomas and expressed his desire to seek forgiveness. The tension between the two basketball legends dates back to the 1980s when rumors surfaced regarding their strained friendship. **Johnson revealed that he has reached a point in his life where he wants to mend past relationships and let go of any animosity that has held him back.** He acknowledged that he hadn't always been the best friend to Thomas and regretted the way their friendship had deteriorated over the years. The infamous Dream Team controversy during the 1992 Olympics added fuel to the fire as Thomas was surprisingly left off the roster, a decision widely attributed to Johnson's influence. The incident further strained their relationship and led to years of bitterness and public feuds.

Isaiah 57:1-5 (NIV) "The righteous perish, and no one ponders it in his heart; devout men are taken away, and no one understands that the righteous are taken away to be spared from evil. Those who walk uprightly enter into peace; they find rest as they lie in death. But you--come here, you sons of a sorceress, you offspring of adulterers and prostitutes! Whom are you mocking? At whom do you sneer and stick out your tongue? Are you not a brood of rebels, the offspring of liars? You burn with lust among the oaks and under every spreading tree. "
Isaiah 57:7-8 (NIV) "You have made your bed on a high and lofty hill; there you went up to offer your sacrifices. Behind your doors and your doorposts you have put your pagan symbols. Forsaking me, you uncovered your bed, you climbed into it and opened it wide; you made a pact with those whose beds you love, and you looked on their nakedness."
Isaiah 57:10-12 (NIV) "You were wearied by all your ways, but you would not say, 'It is hopeless.' You found renewal of your strength, and so you did not faint. Whom have you so dreaded and feared that you have been false to me, and have neither remembered me nor pondered this in your hearts? Is it not because I have long been silent that you do not fear me? I will expose your righteousness and your works, and they will not benefit you."
