    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

    I LOVE Magic's interviews. When he talks about stuff that happened back in the day, he speaks about it as if it happened yesterday. He's still amazed about those Dr J moves. He still has so much love and admiration for Dr J, Kareem, and Bird. You can't help but to be fully engaged as he speaks. I've also heard stories of Magic approaching fans before fans even have a chance to speak to him, and holding whole convos with perfect strangers. I've never idolized any athlete even in my youth, but Magic was the reason I've been a Lakers fan for 40 years.

    Am I the only joker that has watched this episode twice already. This is now my favorite episode. It was between Bonze Wells and
    KG. I didn’t know about Wells health issues. He was a dog dog and highly I mean extremely highly underrated.

    Probably my favorite episode on this podcast to date. Magic has a way with warming up the public and whoever is in front of him. Its funny; as a kid I would watch larry bird, magic, and mj videos on repeat and study their game and try to emulate them on the crt. Fast forward 20 yrs later and Im studying magic for his character and try to emulate him in business. Hes just a great example of greatness on and off the crt. Im a die hard Celtics fan yet hes one of my favorite to ever do it. Hope to someday cross paths with the legend himself. Incredible episode.

    The fraternity of the NBA is unlike anything else, it benefits from the relationships that these guys have because of the game itself. There's not a branch that gets missed. Just talking about Kobe crushes me everytime, we'll never get to hear his stories develop over time....Matt even had to pause. As much as I love this, it hard not to miss Kobe's presence terribly.

    I remember visiting one of the Friday restaurants that Magic owned here in L.A. in the early 2000’s to have food and drinks with friends and watch a Laker playoff game. There was a reserved table courted off which our party was allowed to sit at as we were told that the party for that table was no longer coming. Well after placing our order we were then asked to move as that person was now definitely coming and that this person needed the space. Long story short Magic and a few of his people walk in and the place went absolutely nuts! Magic saw us being moved in an jam packed restaurant which now was standing room only and told the waitress to stop what she was doing and had us all sit back down. He pulled up a chair and sat right next to me and shook my hand. No ego or pretentiousness. I grew up in L.A. so I already had a deep respect for the Lakers and Magic but after that interaction my respect has grown even more for that man. A true class act!

    I love watching ex NBA players reminiscing the days gone by. You can see the joy that they have recollecting those stories and telling it to the world. My only gripe is that we will never watch Kobe Bryant do this. He's one of the person that I was looking forward telling his stories..

    Dope that they got Magic. I felt cheated that I didn't get to see prime Magic, closest I got to seeing that was on the 92 Dream Team(Came of age during MJ and The Bulls). The blueprint on how to successfully navigate life after sport.
