California Love featuring Magic Johnson. Last week we hit you with a Jordan video laced over some Tupac. Today, Magic and Pac light it up with that Cali swagger.
My favorite part of this video is the fact that Chick Hearn is feeding us the play-by-play.

A more innocent time, when a star basketballer could relax with a bevy of buxom babes, without the accompanying assumption that he’ll be boning them all as soon as the cameraman leaves.
(The sweetest of ironies is, of course, that Magic did bone all of them once the cameraman left).

![Great read over at CNNSI.com about the blowup between Isiah Thomas and Magic Johnson over Magic’s upcoming book “When the Game Was Ours.” In it, Magic accuses Isiah of questioning his sexuality. There’s also this gem:
“Isiah killed his own chances when it came to the Olympics. Nobody on that team wanted to play with him. … Michael didn’t want to play with him. Scottie [Pippen] wanted no part of him. Bird wasn’t pushing for him. Karl Malone didn’t want him. Who was saying, ‘We need this guy?’ Nobody.”](http://nbaoffseason.com/photo/1280/220256131/1/tumblr_krxnmpnSJW1qzb7vj)
