(WXYZ) -- Hall of Famers Earvin "Magic" Johnson and Isiah Thomas reconciled their long-standing feud during an emotional sit-down conversation that aired Tuesday night on NBA TV.

 

 

The two faced off as part of back-to-back NBA Finals between the Pistons and Lakers in 1988 and 1989, and their personal relationship deteriorated in the years that followed.

The conversation was taped December 4th and aired for the first time on Tuesday night.
