Wow…what a great friendship.
These celebrities are always just spewing BS first he says he was shocked when Michael called him for remember the time, but then says he was with him on the victory tour which came like 15 years before make it make sense lol
I feel the same way. I do not want to see this movie at home. I want to see it at the theater. 🎉
Magic Johnson: He’s one of a kind. You have to love and honor him.
Take care of your health God bless you
I want him to write a book about his experiences with the Jackson’s!

Mr. Jackson wasn't eating right🙏🏾👑
Jordan !
Thank you Magic
Of course the KFC story is true!
Why would Magic share that story during the highly-publicized memorial service if it wasn't? 🤷🏻♂
I dislike the mainstream media, for many reasons, including the fact that they fed on Michael like sharks. But this interview is just absolutely AMAZING. What a fantastic treat. I'm so glad Magic is still with us. He was very generous, sharing his memories in this interview. And I'm looking forward to seeing Michael's nephew's performance in the upcoming biopic. Thank you!
Great stories 😂!!
Magic, did the video after announcing he had HIV
I saw the Michael movie earlier today and it took place from his childhood to the Bad Tour. Before I saw the movie, I saw one of the screenshots from the movie of Michael performing and to me it looked like it was during the Dangerous Tour, when the vitiligo had mostly overtaken him.
Funny story: I met Michael at a KFC in Gary Indiana when he and his entourage pulled up. 😊
Oh, cette interview est géniale, qu'est-ce que j'ai ri ! Guy, cette imitation de la voix de Michael 😁 !
Vraiment merci, chouette moment, Magic aussi a l'air tellement cool 😊👍.
Merci de nous avoir partagé, avec tant d'affection, de respect et de sincérité, ces instants passés auprès de Michael 💗.
Awesome meeting with Michael
Nobody will reach that level of Michael Jackson ❤
That's funny the Lakers at the forum and everyone looking at Michael 😂❤
