The Dream Team almost didn’t happen! 😱 Magic Johnson reveals the specific “lies” and “bribes” he used to get Michael Jordan and Larry Bird on the plane. 👇
Body:
Larry Bird’s back was broken. Michael Jordan didn’t want to play. So how did Magic Johnson assemble the greatest team ever? By knowing their weaknesses. 🧠
In this incredible story, Magic breaks down his recruiting strategy:
🔥 The Master Plan:
For Larry Bird: Guilt-tripping him with the “Family Angle” (Do it for your kids!) and promising he only had to play 10 minutes. 👨👩👧👦
For Michael Jordan: The ultimate bribe—promising they would “hang out, play cards all night, and play golf all day.” 🎰⛳️
The Pitch: “Just score 30 by halftime and go sit down.” 😂
The Result: Gold Medals and beating everyone by 42 points!
This is the hilarious true story of how the 1992 Dream Team was born.
💬 Question of the Day:
If you could hang out with the Dream Team for one night, would you rather play cards with MJ or talk trash with Bird? 👇
