Salute to Magic’s storytelling, such a gifted and humble man. Respect

[benhenderson]

*Trash talks to Michael Jordan
MJ: *So you have chosen death*

[ThompterSHunson]

When Magic Johnson says it was the best shot he ever saw then imagine how unbelievable this shot was

[imzuhair]

Player breathes next to Jordan:
MJ:”that made it personal”

[miggyalejandro]

Those dream team pick up games are the greatest games that nobody will ever see.

[rtxcyclone]

Do not trashtalk a man who has played againts aliens

[danielsan]

You know how good Jordan was when MAGIC JOHNSON is in awe

[D.BelovedOne]

That 360 dunk sound so impossible, but Magic telling the story and it's MJ... I believe it 100 percent

[lemonslices]

Magic: "If you don't turn into Air Jordan we gonna blow you out today"
Michael: "And from that day on he was on my list"

[kenjifujima]

"Alright I'm just gonna sit here in Air"
That broke me
Magic really knew how to tell a story

[JohnSmith-duyu]

I can listen to Magic for hours. Such a great communicator, story teller and all around charming dude.

[juan]

Barkley, Jordan, Bird, Pippen and Ewing vs Magic, Robinson, Malone, Drexler and Stockton... OMG

[LVSkinny]

Magic funny as hell 🤣🤣 he remind me of my great uncle or something 🤣

[navshawnguron]

The respect that Jordan has from the greats just shows you how great he truly was. Game recognizes game

[ringrulepigs]

I met Magic back in '88. GREATEST, SWEETEST, most humble guy in the world. As you see him in this interview, that's exactly what he's like in real life....even if you're NOT a celebrity, he'll make you feel like one. God bless Magic!

[kindlychill]

I'd love to spend a day with Magic.

[josepharte]

You can't help but smile and feel good just even watching him talk. What a man.

[reggiedennis]

Magic Johnson once said, and I quote, "there's Michael Jordan, and then there's everybody else". To put that in perspective, if Lebron is on another planet, Michael Jordan is the Universe.

[aslidaku]

I don't even care what story he's telling. I just love the way he tells it.

[Kookaburra]

You know MJ is sending over some free gear after this interview.
