On the one hand, Magic was a fan of funk and rock, while Kareem was a quiet Jazz listener. This was revealed by Johnson during an appearance on the Jimmy Kimmel Live show.

He said, “Oh man, you did that! Listen, that’s what got me in trouble with Kareem. I used to have that song, a big boom box, Jimmy. Big, on my shoulder. Kareem didn’t like that p-funk, none of that. He’s a Jazz, quiet guy. But you know me!“
