Beating AIDs and all

Magic Johnson has the most contagious smile and laugh ever. Still the greatest PG of all time too 🐐
The best NBA player to play all 5 positions

Feels like 2 of my favorite uncles having a conversation. This could easily go for hours 😂✊🏾
Right??? 🤣🤣
Yeah
i get the same vibs and could listen to magic for hours bc he has stories galore!!!
Right!
Yeah look like them two can talk to the sun come up
Shannon has a way of asking the hard questions while being respectful, asking good questions and actually listening attentively, while giving great feedback with follow-up comments. Great job Unc
Thought i only caught that facts
ABSOLUTELY!
Facts
@@BigMacoSlime
Not in the begining but I think by watching skip he's learned how to be more professional at the craft
The energy between these two is infectious
There very funny together.
Unc about to get a whole lot richer 🤣🤣🤣
Like two good friends in the barbershop catching up
Two of the beat leaders in sports history
That's that different energy. Lol they on the same wave for sure
All Magic did was talk about the greatness of all his teammates and opportunities. Such humility
One thing LeBron has NEVER Utttered out of his mouth is “I DIDN’T PLAY WELL!!!!” He’s NEVER taken accountability for failing.
@@taharqa332hes never failed
The humbleness and respect in this interview speaks to these gentlemen’s generation.
And its amazing because they give each other so much credit now but such fierce competitors in their playing days.
Men used to conversate like this. With respect. Like gentlemen. Now we just toss 3rd grader insults at each other on social media until it starts trending. It leaves cracks in the sand, telling everybody that it's okay to follow that female behavior.
This is a WORLD CLASS interview. It feels like we got to be flies on the wall of the conversation of two generational leaders. Icons. All love. All respect. It's hard to believe this type of content was free.
Shannon Sharpe a generational leader? 😂 You sound ridiculous
@@gtg305h In the athletic world? He absolutely is.
@@gtg305h better role model than any politician I know
U said it WORLD CLASS 💪💪💪
Facts
Magic Johnson is the #1 story teller in NBA history 🐐💯
Without it we don’t get the heee here clip
I think iman shumpert is up there as well.
Undefeated 😂
@@thee_legendary1 shump is really good too
@@thee_legendary1 he good but he ain't got nothin on magic
OMG!! I love the Larry Bird and his mother story! “Larry, Did you Tell him!?” Nah ma” you tell him! Magic! You’re my favorite basketball players 😂😂😂
Magic loves Larry so that probably really touched his heart. They brothers for life. You cant talk bad about bird in front of Magic.
Magic talking about Dr. J and Kareem was so funny. full of energy. This man loves the game!!
😂😂
Shannon is a really good interview. The choice of questions, the timing, and the follow ups. Plus a healthy dose of humor. 👌🏾✌🏾
Totally agree. And the fact that he was alive and actively a fan when Magic was in his prime too? Makes it even better ✊🏿
Shannon is an incredible success story being this good in his post career / new career. He went from just a guy who could talk to one of best at everything when it comes to talking and being likable.
12:13 Shannon almost said skip 😂😂
Yea he has a gift, doesn’t seem scripted at all.
@@brandonuchiha2000 48:41*
Imagine these two as your uncles at the cookout, you'd be laughing the whole time and still leave with invaluable life lessons😂❤
Would barely be able to eat because I'd be laughing too much
Facts 💯
✊🏽
Shannon's preparation for this interview is inspiring...I never thought I'd say this about an interview but it was truly a work of art...the intangibles, born out of hard work and focus...were out of this world.
I can listen to Magic talk all day. He’s amazing.
Lmaoo when Shannon said Skips name instead of Magic out of habit at 48:42 I burst out laughing. Great interview, my favorite one yet!!
HAHAHAHAAHA I died it was off pure instinct
I caught it too lol
Lmaoooo
Shannon better than a lot of people when he interviews people. Natural chemistry.
Yes. He actually lets people talk.
Big facts
The interview is about the person not the interviewer 🤣
Love Only here 🥰..having had the pleasure of meeting Magic was the icing on the cake 🎂 I've always have felt he is the greatest bballer in the world and still feel that..I only wish more people had seen him in his playing days..THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME 🏀🏀🏀 Love only..AJ
Hes good and was definitely passionate about this onteeview.
Smiled through most of this entire interview. Warm memories of my youth when basketball was EVERYTHING! Glad I was born at the right time to be alive to witness this era basketball. Jordan, Bird, Thomas and the Showtime Lakers with Ervin Magic Johnson, the King of the no-look pass. Great interview…one for the ages!
Me too. I lived in Detroit in those years. Still hate Jordan. lol
You are so right
basketball now is still EVERYTHING much better than the 80s.We have LBJ with the most points EVER in the NBA and Steph Curry the Best shooter EVER in the NBA.What you whining about??
@@KingoftheRoad-2023not whining. Expressing his gratefulness for the joy his era brought him at that time
G.O.A.T interviewing another G.O.A.T....Legendary!!!
I believe that this interview will take this amazing show to greater heights. Well done, Shannon. 😎
Very good interview. Nothing was left unasked or unanswered.
Well, when your a homer for the Lakers, It’s not too hard to get love from Magic.
This may be Shannon's best interview. Everything was on point. It brought back so many good times in my memory.
I agree 💯
Larrys mom saying “magic u my favorite basketball player” so funny…..cried laughing 😂
Seeing Magic’s inner child come out when he was talking about Dr. J was a feel good moment great interview unc 😎
This is easily one of the best Magic interviews ever. That's saying a lot because Magic has done a lot of media.
I agree
Magic's energy is just infectious... you can't help but smile & laugh. I can listen to him speak about grass growing. Helluva sitdown Shannon!
One of Unc’s best guests/interviews, hands DOWN. And shout out to you as well, Mr. Shadow Realm himself! ✊🏿😂
he's infectious for sure
Man this reminds me of when my dad and uncles would sit around to talk about their childhood. The laughs are so genuine R.I.P. Uncle Jimmy
Feel dat 💯
Magic Johnson has a lot of common sense and wisdom. All that life experience really shines through.
It's so impossible to hate Magic. Great person 💯👌🏼
Why would you hate Magic other than being a Boston Celtics fan like what??
@@mrterry2277 I agree 💯 can't hate Bird neither. They're the pinnacle of 80s NBA basketball
If you hate Magic you hate basketball.
@@mrterry2277 as a die hard Lakers fan i must say i love me some Bird among other Celtics players, great players are a gift to the basketball world. 💜💛💜💛🤜🤛💚🤍💚🤍
@@TH1NK_BLU3_495 I hated bird when he was playing, but he’s one of my favorites now
This was two uncles sitting on the porch talking about life. This was the best club Shay Shay episode yet. Needs to be a part two just to hear more stories from Magic.
Facts it definitely needs to be a part two because I know these two have stories they can tell for years. I wish they would start a podcast together.
God, Magic’s honesty and genuineness is so refreshing. Only Shannon can facilitate such a warm, honest and insightful conversation
Great interview. Being a 51 year old woman who had a father that loved baskeball, uncles who loved basketball, My husband loves basketball, my brothers loves basketball and 2 sons that love basketball, it's my fav sport. I enjoyed this soooooo much!!
I swear, the current athletes are cool, but NOBODY tells stories like the OG athletes!!! Magic had me cracking up the entire interview!
So glad I got to see these guys play! Got to watch REAL basketball!
Facts!
Of course they can tell better stories, there was no social media or camera phones that can tell stories without the players voices or knowings.
And the NBA was rigged for Boston or L.A to win at those times. It saved basketball so I’m not mad at it. It’s was real; real set up for Bird and Magic.
@@DrPhill96
Stop the madness!!! We had the newspaper and sports magazines back then. We heard the stories. It just wasn't immediate like it is now.
And nobody "rigged" games. If anything, they rig the game NOW! Look at how the league has stepped in to save LeBron time after time. Smh.
@@DiaAkin so the ref blocked iggy in 2016? yall old heads hate lebron so much lmao
I’m sad. I just missed Magic and Larry, because I started watching basketball in the summer Olympics Barcelona 92, so my first season watching was at the end of Jordan’s first 3peat. But my dad had a lot of tapes of the Pistons, Celtics and Lakers and even the 76ers in the 80’s. So I had all of those tapes with NBA on CBS, but I didn’t see it live. I would’ve loved it.
Magic is a genuine human being !! He's such a Humble and simple Man both on and off the Court throughout his career. And still that same man and Same personality!!
Magic brought the funk to the game. the reason he was mvp 3 times is because he was good in so many different positions his experience elevated his knowledge of the game. He was one the smartest players in the league.
This guy is the most likeable, enjoyable and knowledgeable professional athlete I’ve ever seen. Love magic man
Enjoyed the story of DJ inviting Magic to his home to stay a few days and discuss his decision to go pro or not. What a magnanimous gesture!
Wow thats awesome. Those of us of a certain age Doc was EVERYTHING!!!!
@@sirjer73 all the greats look up to him so he must have been insane
@@dragonxetron7833 wish he was as good in 2k 😒
I grew up in the 80s. Yes, I saw Michael Jordan play. But, Earvin "Magic" Johnson was the player I wanted to "be like." Play with style, pass the ball to teammates, involve others, a born leader, and don't get it twisted, that man was a competitor that wanted to win as much as *ANYBODY* who ever played the game 👍👍
a lot of people underrate magic whenever they bring talk about basketball of the past 6-0 is cool and all but having a large PG and a dominant center transcends ur team i wish shaq and penny won a chip magic would definitely get his flowers for being a trailblazer
Irving
MJs game is still The style...He passed the ball to teammates,involved others,etc...
6-0 is cool and all?
Huh?If Magic was 6-0 where would u rank him all-time?
My favorite also. 32 was my number through middle and high school
I can just imagine these two at a family cookout 😂😂😂. Love this.
Invite me
Magic the man with the billion dollar smile. Winning time even though its not accurate made me appreciate the lakers and showtime as i was not alive when it happened.
That resume is INSANE
crazy

I've been a fan of Magic Johnson for over Forty Years. I go out of my way to see what he has to say. I cried like a baby at the 91 press conference. I watched every episode of his late night show. I can say without a shadow of a doubt this is the best interview of him I've ever seen and it's entirely because of the questions that were asked and the manner in which they were presented.
Props to you 🎉
I remember I was terrified I cried. I have always loved magic he felt like family. He still is family.
This may be the best interview I’ve ever seen.
It just came to my attention that Magic Johnson has to be one of the best story tellers, his energy is unmatched. Love it❤️
I met Magic in Atlanta over 20 years ago and he is EXACTLY the same whether with a regular person or celebrity. There's a reason he's so beloved, he earns it! Great brother.
Celtics fans have always hated the Lakers on the court. But off the court and in general, we have respect for Magic. Great interview, God bless you Magic!
I have been a Laker fan since the late 70's all because of you Magic! You will FOREVER be my favorite Laker PG
Magic is the epitome of humility, class and grace. These young players need to take note.
Magic is the epitome of team leader. A true wizard and artist at the PG-1. Court vision and scoring ability, ball handling and drive. No one outclasses magic.
So very true. Magic is a King of a man and was a virtual Wizard of a basketball player. Truly gifted, super charismatic & blessed on all levels of life. My favorite Laker and the best point guard of all time. Thanks to Shannon for such brilliant interview.
OMG the stories this one is special. Magic really can paint pictures with words. Dr. J and eating lunch with Bird and his Mom. His humbleness and honesty. Unc knocked it out the park with this one
This is a phenomenal interview. This could honestly be its own show everyday.
lol chill out bro
@@artificialintelligence7988 nah he's right
@@artificialintelligence7988 🙄 take that somewhere else
They have kindred spirits, true champions. They act like brothers, very confident. Hall of Famers
This is precious , Magic is in his element. Shannon is made for this type of conversation.
Can you tell how much FUN Magic is having? Man this was incredible. Far and away my favorite player to watch growing up, this was just awesome.
Agree,my favorite also,the way he lead the Lakers,also his size 6'9" point guard
Magic Johnson will always be my #1 of all times. On and off the court. I had the pleasure to meet and take a picture with him in 2000 at the Essence Festival in New Orleans, one of the nicest guys I’ve ever met. Love you Magic Johnson. Best interview of all times.
Shannon has really improved as an interviewer over the years. It feels so much more natural now than when he first opened up Club Shay Shay. It's been a joy to follow the journey
Man I don't want this interview to end. 😂😂😂❤️
Neither do I 😂
Man! 🙆🏽🤦🏽😅
It's like watching your two favorite uncles talk about the old days at the cookout.
I love Magic!! Love his personality he doesn't make Excuses he just figures out how to deal with Any situation, he is a Legend very Humble that is why he's been so Successful in Life. Great interview wish it was even longer Magic is one of the Greatest human beings that has ever touched the Eart hope to be able to meet him one day 🙏🏽🙏🏽🐐👏🏽
Best point guard ever. Better yet a man that did not let his circumstances dictate his life.A walking example of Success and great attitude towards Life.
Magic is classic barbershop when he talks and tells his stories!…..LOVE HIM!….🏀🏆🥇🏅🏀🏀🏀
I love how Magic talked about how Pat Riley, coaching needs to be considered when people compare all time teams you can’t just talk about how good players were
10 out of 10 great interview! Magic Johnson is definitely a force in this world.
Man this remind me of two uncles at a family gathering and they’re just telling you about life and their memories. Great interview
I just love how Magic showers praise on all the greats. He may talk himself up some, but he's more than willing to give credit to teammates and the competition alike.
Doc was truly a class act. Very approachable and took time to speak with people and sign autographs. He handled his celebrity with style and grace.
Doc is. Julius Erving is still alive
This episode is solid gold. Unc and Magic have a great relationship you can see it. It looks like they like two old friends that haven't seen each other in years. Great interview
Hey Shannon
I’m a broadcaster that had the honor of being on the radio during your Ravens years…as a veteran broadcaster I must say you are next level in this broadcasting space! Congrats my friend! I’m learning from you also Unc & Ocho is bananas…
Man I love this interview so much. This is possibly the best I've heard magic during an interview. You can tell he really enjoyed this. Shout out to big unk Shannon on conducting such a great interview with one of the GOATS!
Agreed

Imagine Magic had the level of training these athletes of today have … he’d be even scarier than he already was.. #1 PG of all time

@@kingflores8915 he is better from the field. Better from the line. Better from midrange. Bron is better from 3 (but the era factors into it as well cause when Magic entered NBA - the 3pt shot just got invented)
Free throw line really tells you about dudes shooting ability. Magic was a better free throw shooter than Klay Thompson
@@erikpuka2627 spoken like a person who never played basketball before 😂😂
I can't stop watching this interview. Magic spoke about Larry, Larry's mom and their friendship - that's a great story.
🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Shannon and magic both smiling is gonna open up the matrix
Magic is a national treasure and we should treat him as such! Never will there be another Magic. Enjoy him while hes is here.
If I could meet this man one time. My uncle played against him. My uncle is Emanuel Leaks Jr from Cleveland Ohio. He played against magic when he played in the NBA. I admire everything he has accomplished in life.
Look how happy magic is!!!! This is such a blessing to look and be this happy and enjoy what the world has to offer….. and of course unc shay always happy!!!!!
Another amazing interview or conversation I should say, because that’s exactly what it felt like. Two good friends having amazing conversation. I could’ve listened for another hour +. Shannon definitely has the gift of Gab. Magic is so charismatic, funny, genuine and honest. Great job 💪🏾.
Shannon, ur gift to have conversation is clearly making ur grandparents proud. I think u might be "beyond" debate shows very soon. Thanks for the masterclass!
One of the most authentic leaders that touched an NBA Court!
Charismatic, genuine and a wonderful storyteller!
I appreciate that he shared his regrets regarding Isiah Thomas and LeBron James, especially Isiah!
You and Cookie continue to live your best lives!
1:02:30 Thank you Shannon and thank you MAGIC for such openness and deepness!
The story about Dr. J is so awesome
Not only does Magic have the best stories ever, he tells them in the most captivating way possible. I don’t think I would ever tire of listening to him. Thank you, Shannon, for asking such great questions and for making him so comfortable to share in this way. You two might have the best smiles in history!
Magic warned us all about Westbrook a decade ago. Greatness can recognize what people are.

Beautiful exchange between these two…Now this is how you conduct an interview….Shannon tackled all the tough questions in a respectful fashion and Magic masterfully answered them. Just great chemistry between these two 💯
I went to magic Johnson basketball camp for the youth for one week in 1983. 350.00!
Good experience never forget it. Talk to him for a minute. 🎉🎉🎉
Best Point God in NBA History and Future.💯
Thank you Shannon. I have been going through. You and Magic bring Joy and Happiness in dark times.
Magic a whole legend. Respect to him tons and tons.
Not even gonna lie...this was one of the dopest interviews I've seen. Kinda wish it did go on another two or three hrs like Magic said.
Two of the most smiling-est brothas in the game. Good vibes!
Smiling-est is the best word I've ever seen.
Magic Johnson is a basketball legend and a class act!! He’s a wonderful storyteller and does it without using foul language! I love it! Great interview Unc!
Shannon! Wanna say this was one of the best interviews I have seen! So well done! Magic was so relaxed and really gave us something in terms of life lessons. And you really seem to gel nicely. Well done! Thanks
The true POINT GOD. My basketball idol...the reason many of us played basketball seeking to pass rather than shoot. Made winning fun and epitomized team basketball. PUT SOME RESPECK ON his name!
I could listen to Magic Talk ALL DAY. he is such Legend and Great story teller. this interview was EPIC 🔥🔥
One of the Best interviews ever!!! Wishing it would of went on longer.
Magic gon always be my top 3. Shannon you have arrived to get one of the greats. One of my favorite interviews you’ve done. Love you magic!
Regardless what happened to him he still put on a smile and spread love 🙏🏾❤️. Kudos Shannon this was great 🍿
The way he marvels about Dr J .... It's just absolutely beautiful.☺️
Shannon is really a interviewer. I think his knowledge on the history of sports is second to none
