Albany, NY
Ex-NBA great, HIV activist, minority business owner ... comedian?
Magic Johnson made some zingers at Miami Heat star LeBron during a visit to the University at Albany Saturday, saying he favors Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan to James due to the Heat star's lack of championships.
"Everybody's always asking, 'Who is better between Kobe (Bryant) and LeBron?' I'm like, Are you kidding me? I'm like you're kidding me ... Kobe, five championships; LeBron, zero. I love the young man though. I know he's going to get better in the fourth quarter this year."
Magic seemed to have LeBron on the brain, even mentioning "The King" when asked what Johnson's greatest accomplishment is.
"That's easy: Putting people to work in minority communities," Johnson 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 ..."
Magic insisted he was kidding, but it will be interesting to see if LeBron has a reply over the comments.
