Magic Johnson is a man most definitely Keepin' It Fresh. He speaks his mind and says it how it is - especially evident when he started making fun of Lebron James during an on-campus speech at Albany University this past Saturday. While Magic later said he was merely joking, we all know this was a political response to the controversy it had the potential of sparking by the numerous jabs he took. He dismissed any comparisons made between Jordan and Lebron by saying "Come on, man, six championships for Jordan. You know that Michael averaged over 30 points every playoff series? Don't try to touch that". He also said "There's going to always be great players in basketball. There's going to always be guys who win championships in the NBA, except Lebron...". This drew a lot of response from the crowd at which point he continued "Don't be mad!". The fact of the matter is the truth hurts. Lebron needs to get his shit together simple and plain, stop claiming to be the king when you haven't put in the work to earn the hardware.
The full ESPN article can be found below as well a video of ESPN analysts Stephan Smith and Skip Bayless talking on the matter...well one of them is talking while the other is losing his mind. Video is hilarious but again reiterates how each debate over Lebron's legacy begins and ends.
