YouTube Gold: Michael Jordan On Larry Bird And Magic Johnson

Roy Firestone isn’t as visible as he used to be but he is a superb interviewer who gets his guests to talk on a very personal basis (he also does wonderful impressions).

In this clip, he talks to a young Michael Jordan. He starts by asking him about his relationship with Larry Bird and Magic Johnson.

It’s kind of hard to believe now but at one point, maybe his rookie year, Isaiah Thomas and Magic Johnson supposedly froze him out of the All-Star game.

That all ended as Jordan began to take over the game.
