  • @RobWill5864
    The way Magic tells stories with the expressions IS magic. 😂
  • 30 years of work in a factory and never missing a day or being late is crazy…big respect to magics father for his work ethic
  • @MnyMar
    That Paul Pierce guest appearance and story was incredible😂
  • @013DREC
    I love when guests randomly give Stak his flowers bc I feel that often he’s under appreciated. Tmac, Kobe, and now Magic, all crediting his game! It’s a lovely thing to see.
  • Magic Johnson and Deion Sanders have this energy that’s contagious
  • This Man is the reason there’s a Generation of Lakers fan 🔥 🏀
  • @theAzimAzimov
    This interview is a clear illustration why Magic is as successful as he is! He talks about others more than himself. He passes the praise around. Indeed a point guard off the court. Matt and Jack were just blushing. That's how Magic closes the deals. He makes you feel special. Extraordinary emotional intelligence. That's how he gets people onboard. including LBJ
  • @eliporter3980
    This was one of the best shows they did, Magic is still the man after all these years.
  • @SuperBigPorch
    i wish we could get magic, larry, Isaiah, & Jordan on a pod. it’d prolly end in a fight but itd be the most raw podcast ever
  • @DLaw81
    That Paul Pierce story is classic. “Nah Nah, that’s a foul”
  • First off condolence to Jack, feel your pain. Second congratulations to both you for getting Magic, was a great interview, wished it could have been longer. Just felt chills listening to all the stories
  • Never fear Magic is here! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 The OG stories never get old man! I love it
  • @ill-nois2282
    Magic can light up the whole room, his personality and energy is infectious. He still doing big Showtime things, salute 🫡
  • @codyeble6764
    This isn't an interview, it's a party.. crazy this effect Magic has wherever he goes... Just ups the energy anywhere, anytime.. that's a special gift
  • I love listening to Magic and Isiah Thomas telling stories about their time in the NBA, It never gets old.
  • RIP to Donnie Jackson Sr. When Magic told Stack those kind words, I started crying.
  • Matt said ‘talk amongst yourselves’. I’m WEEEEEEAAAAAAK!!!!! 😅😂😂😂😂
  • @lesss4067
    The way magic speaks is so captivating. From his energy to his tone… you could just listen to him for hours.
