That one time Magic Johnson tried to trash-talk Michael Jordan
Posted May 21, 2016
Magic Johnson told late-night host Jimmy Kimmel that he only talked trash once during his 13-year NBA career — and Michael Jordan was his target. It happened when both Hall of Famers were practicing for the 1992 Olympics with the "Dream Team." "This is the fourth day, and we got out on them by 12-2, so I said I 'm going to really rattle his chain," Johnson said.
