Magic Johnson and Michael Jordan are possibly two of the greatest legends in American basketball history. One with the Los Angeles Lakers and the other with the Chicago Bulls, both managed to turn their teams into NBA champions. Their legacy is linked to the term “dynasty”, to the ability they had to stay at the top for long periods of time. And, after two retirements, both share a great friendly bond.
The two legends of the orange ball were seen at the Da Paolino restaurant, a renowned establishment located on the Italian island of Capri, in the province of Naples. There, both enjoyed a pleasant dinner in the company of their families. But they were not the only ones with whom they shared a table, and Samuel L. Jackson also participated in the evening along with his partner LaTanya. They were also accompanied by television judge Greg Mathis with his wife and couple John and Vicki Palmer.
“Tonight we enjoyed an amazing dinner at the world famous Da Paolino Ristorante, also known as the Lemon Tree restaurant in Capri, Italy. And I got to hang out with my great friend and the greatest basketball player that ever lived, Michael Jordan, and his wife Yvette, Sam and LaTanya Jackson, Judge Greg and Linda Mathis, and John and Vicki Palmer.” Johnson wrote alongside the featured photos from the dinner.
One of the most outstanding moments, and that has transcended to various media, was the moment in which Jordan and Johnson began to sing. Together with the team of restaurant workers, the two former basketball players sang the famous “Volare” by Domenico Modugno. They did it in the company of the rest of the diners, who sang along with them at the top of their lungs. A fun moment that has gone viral on social media.
Despite the détente, Jordan has been restless for a few weeks due to the chores of his son, Marcus. The Chicago Bulls legend spotted on the streets of Paris surrounded by paparazzi, who wanted to know about the controversial relationship between Marcus and Larsa Pippen, ex-wife of his teammate Scottie Pippen on the Illinois team. The father assured that he did not agree with the link between the two, something that would not have affected the young Jordan and his partner too much.
The couple recently published a controversial video in which Marcus smoked a juca and played with Larsa’s breasts. The woman also acknowledged in a podcast that Michael’s refusal made her feel bad.
“I didn’t really think it was funny. There’s nothing funny about it. She was a bit embarrassed. She was like traumatized. I’m like: ‘Oh my god, what are we going to do now? People think I lied. I feel like for them it’s probably weird, it’s probably weird for your dad,” she expressed.
