Magic Johnson wasn't one to trash talk during his NBA career.

In fact, he told Jimmy Kimmel that he only did so once.

It was during a 1992 Dream Team scrimmage, and his target was Michael Jordan.

"Hey man, if you don't turn into Air Jordan we gonna blow you out today," Johnson said to Jordan because his team had jumped to a big lead over of Jordan's.
Jordan's eyes lit up when he realized that Johnson had verbally challenged him. 23 hit a tongue wagging three. Then another three. Then Jordan threw down the most amazing dunk Johnson had ever seen.

It involved hanging in the air until David Robinson went back to earth and a 360. Listen to Johnson explain it all, it's pretty entertaining.
