Magic Johnson Clowns LeBron James, And Everyone Laughs

During a recent speaking engagement at the University of Albany, NBA legend Magic Johnson threw a little stand-up into his speech. The butt of his jokes? A certain ringless forward for the Miami Heat.

“There will always be great players in basketball,” Johnson said. “There’s always going to be guys who win championships in the NBA. Except LeBron.”

Oh, snap.

Magic continued:

“Don’t be mad. Everybody’s always asking, ‘who is better between Kobe and LeBron’? I’m like ‘are you kidding me? Kobe five championships, LeBron zero.”

Then, perhaps because he knew someone, somewhere in that phone had a camera phone on him (and they did, as you’ll soon see):

“I love the young man though. I know he’s going to get better this year in the fourth quarter.”

Nice save, Magic! Video of his comments here:
