YouTubery: Magic Likes His Chicken Hot, 7-Up Cold

By Bethlehem Shoals
YouTubery is our home for the awesome, non-sequitur videos we unearth.
Have you ever wanted to share a meal of junk food with NBA great Magic Johnson? Here’s how it would go down:

First, he’d pull no punches with the fried chicken—only the spiciest, and the most processed. 1991 was a great year for KFC, and Johnson knew it. Then, he’d stage an impromptu Skills Challenge that kids like Chris Paul and Dwyane Wade could never eff with. Seriously, what do they know about that fireball three? Even if it he didn’t call it, that’s why we could never bring the eighties back.
Freaked out? Why not jump in Magic’s time machine, and cool off with a nice carbonated beverage.

Sharing style, sharing smiles. Words to live by in these troubled times. Especially when Magic’s wearing the same outfit I wore out last night.↵
