“ Instead of asking Michael Jordan — that noted misanthrope — perhaps we should be asking Magic Johnson who he’d rather play with. Did he want the lowly Chicago Bulls to win the coin flip in 1980 to secure his draft rights, or the Kareem Abdul-Jabbar-featuring Los Angeles Lakers? Did he want the Lakers to draft James Worthy first overall in 1982, or some scrub in order to even the competition and make it all about Magic?
