Yeah, for back in the day. He would come off the bench in today’s NBA. He had no jumper. All that poetry won’t matter, with a 3 smacked in his face. Your generation is over old man

U are right

Dr.J is the goat! Love hearing his youngings give him his just due

For all you Jordan fans, the doctor did all that before Jordan.. Doctor j is The Godfather of modern day basketball and Michael Jordan will agree!!💯

Magic is just one of those dudes that I could listen to talk about basketball all day. How can you not like Magic?

I had the honor of meeting Magic Johnson and Dr J…. Total class acts .. Two of the greatest in my opinion!!!

Magic: "I'm getting ready to go to Dr.J's house" 😂😂😂

DR. J certified legend. One of the greatest in the NBA. THE greatest in the ABA. Do you homework.

I can see why Isaiah and Magic are friends. They both know how to tell a good story

Love seeing him fanboy over his idol.

man Magic is such a great storyteller 😂

Magic has lived an incredible life.

“I call’m up, I get his numma” 😂😂😂😂😂

Magic no doubt has been very fortunate in getting that oportunity, sounds like it was a huge foundational experience for him and set his decision to turn pro into stone. Same again with his solid relationship with Dr Buss. Really sounds like a great friendship and mentorship.

I was friends who were integrally involved with an NBA team and they related to me that Dr. J was considered the best player in the league by the other players.

They’ll never be another Dr. J, by far the most exciting player of all time. It was a era of real men playing. Now it looks college ball at best.

This is what mentorship can do to change a young man’s life. Lots of athletes that become broke after getting caught in the high life and retiring. Glad that Dr.J took time and his financials to impact magic life. Magic has in turn changed communities with his investment!!

Corey Roberts, dr.j. was nothing but a classy dude. Nice to have magic Johnson, to his house.

Dr. J - my all time favorite player

Magic & Shannon great athletes ; Incredible people , these two gentlemen are class acts ! Love the terrific stories ... 🏀😃👍

The GOAT! Nobody put the whole sport on his shoulders like when he entered. Stats, chips don’t matter when an athlete performs for the sake of the sport.

I and college friends of mine watched Dr. J's around the backboard shot in 1980. To this day it's easily one of most exciting plays I have ever seen. Every single dude I knew who played basketball was trying to replicate that shot.

Dr. J is All Time Great Hall of Famer and is in my All Time Top 5!🏀Shay Shay call the Doctor and interview him, it would be classic dude!!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Shay get Doc on here - Julius The Dr Irvinggggggggggggggg🔥🔥🔥🔥

Julius "Dr. J." Irving was an absolute legend, he did some moves on the basketball court that Michael Jordan could not do... Just an incredible player, and humanitarian!

Magic is just a great story teller!! Dr J, Magic & Kobe my Top 3 favorites by a mile.

Bruh this is like watching 2 uncles talking about the good ol days at the cookout lol.

This is like the 2 cool uncle's kicking it at the cookout! I'm from the same city that Magic is from... He was a definite inspiration even tho I was a Pistons fan. Every Sunday it was either LA vs. Boston or a double header & they both played.

Dr J was amazing!!!

Shows you why this is my fave NBA player. He had so much respect for the game and the players in it. What a great clip! BTW, that final game of his rookie year is why I call him the greatest NBA player I have ever seen. Who does that during their rookie year WITHOUT arguably the greatest player at the time playing the game, The Captain. Love Magic!

That's amazing. I'm from Philly, grew up an ardent Sixers' fan. Can't believe Doc had Magic to his home during the playoffs. Makes me wonder how other many stories like this exist that we don't know about. Sadly, I was at that final game 7 mos. later when the Lakers beat us on our home court, right behind the basket. I can see Magic smiling from ear to ear. Great story, thanks for sharing.

I love this show man, he really is the best in the game because it's really a uncle giving wisdom and learning also, I really love and appreciate real talking and sharing memories most people dream of

Me and my friends watched that shot and it took our breath away the idea that he thought of a way to make that shot clearly call the Lakers off guard. The Lakers did everything right they cut him off with the baseline and he still made the shot legally but illegal to gravity

Class I love those stories about Dr. J. He was the one who had everyone in the neighborhood wanting to play ball. Love that guy. And Magic. Great stories

You two definitely need to do it again ! Best episode by far 😂😂😂

I met in Indpls ABA Pacers when the Pacers we're great ! He was 20 yrs old big fro ! Total class act . What a nice gentleman ; Dr. Looked like he was playing the game in slow motion . Poetry in motion large hands ; so melliflous ! 🏀🏆🙋‍♂️🎷👍

1:14 the change up 😂

Dr. J is cold boi

Massive Gratitude

Now that’s pretty dope

Dr. J was the ambassador of the NBA before Magic and Bird carried the torch.

Yall are the absolute best... Salute 🐐🐐

Sorry to all the Curry fans but Magic is the Greatest PG in NBA history. If it wasn't for his disease he would've been unanimous GOAT

A lot of joy in this.

😳 wow I never heard that story before that story was amazing 🤯

Michael Jordan in his early years patterned his game after Dr. J

Magic is a great story teller

I LOVE that story!

This interview had me crying

This combination though.🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

The GOAT Laker!

So he did Kareem real dirty Dr j is the greatest dunker of all time name any player that has dunked on more Hall of famers then Dr j nobody. And may I add the most important player in NBA history if it wasn't for him the NBA would have died he held it together until magic bird and Jordan got there he was the first marketable player the only thing the NBA had going for itself at that time you don't believe me go read

To me there are three major influencers : 🔴🔵6️⃣ … THE ONE that INVENTED the whole thing .. with his grace and class .. 🔴⚫️2️⃣3️⃣ … THE ONE that carried the torch and took it even HIGHER … … and then … the ⚫️🐍 🟡🟣2️⃣4️⃣💪🏻❤️ .. THE ONE AND THE FINISHER …

Definitely the mid 70s early '80s Dr J was it pretty much the man, till magic and bird, than Jordan 90s

WOW ... they talk about mik being the 'Greatest' , but you NEVER hear Heart-Felt stories like this about him ??? ! ... All you hear are how Selfish & what a Tyrant he was ... & how he would Reprimand & Beat-Down his Teammates ... & those are the characteristics of the greatest ??? ! ...
