Author bashes Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson in an old video
When one talks about the best players to ever play in the NBA, Magic Johnson and Michael Jordan are always in the mix. However, author Freeway Ricky has a different perspective.
He said, “If you look at Jordan and Magic, they’re not black. They’re other. If the cop pulled over Magic, and as soon as he sees Magic, he’s gonna ask for his autograph. If they pull over Michael Jordan, it’s gonna be the same thing. So, these guys have transcended. Kinda like what OJ said about himself. I’m not black, I’m OJ.“
This came after Jordan and Magic decided to not protest against the Jacob Blake shooting incident that shook the entire country.
