hahaha i like your tag of ' jordan and beiber'

so did they do that match? i remember he was in one or two of the magic charity games.

[nonplayerzealot4]

@popeyeisgood It fizzled. Apparently from Mikey, too many people tried to cash in on a thing that he and Magic would've wanted "creative control" over.

@2enchant Lebron can't even beat Kobe, much less MJ. You're dumb son.

@2enchant When?????????? In which world?????? ahahahahaha

@Edd1e8 no heated swimming pool treadmills at the arena. team physician was just a notch above a cut man. sneakers heavy as bricks. no chef, just pizza delivery men and room service.

[Edd1e8]

@edscottable - don't you love it when kids assume the 1991 Lakers/Magic were the same as the 85 or 87 squad? Diet, conditioning, and off season programs were still the dark ages in the 80s. Combine that with the fact Magic was 6'9" and played point guard on a fast break team that made it too the finals 8 previous years.

That's an awful lot of milege on that team. It was impressive they even lasted that long.

@2enchant Not even in Lebron's dreams.

Ok...this first dunk they show in this video of MJ...is FAR BETTER than Blake Griffens dunk...Man I miss the old days...

[makkakman]

THOSE 2 PLAYERS are the worst nba player ever... and i have to say that im white and im proud of LARRY THE BIRD

[wornoutshoes11]

if this match materialized... magic would have tarnished his legacy!

magic is a team player, who the hell would even dare say he stood a chance against MJ?

1 on 1? cmon now guys... never gonna happen!

[Survivor87]

NBA not liking the idea of the event in Las Vegas...yet a few years ago they hold an All-Star game there when theres no actual team there...NBA has certainly sold out way more than it ever has.

Even as a young guy, listen to Mike talk.. hes a cool cat. So humble and intelligent. Compared to LeBron and the arrogant players today, who dont have half his game, and it puts it into context.

[philagon]

G.O.A.T... but not at public speaking.

He reminds me a little bit of Tyler the Creator with that white cap
