During the 1980s, the Los Angeles Lakers were one of the most exciting teams to watch in the NBA. One of the primary reasons behind the swagger of the ‘Showtime’ Lakers was the presence of Magic Johnson on the court.

Johnson may have long retired from the NBA, but he is still not shy about making appearances on talk shows and podcasts for various reasons. A few years ago, Magic decided to play the game of ‘HORSE’ with Conan O’Brien.

Magic may have retired from the NBA for a couple of decades, but you cannot take the skill out of a legendary player. Conan O’Brien learned that the hard way after playing the game of ‘HORSE’ against the Lakers legend.

Johnson not only easily won the game, but he also forced Conan to buy him lunch after the defeat. O’Brien, being the gentleman he is, agreed to Magic’s request and bought him lunch as a part of their deal.


Conan O’Brien Tried A Larry Bird Mask To Get The Better Of Magic Johnson

Over the years, fans have seen a plethora of rivalries in the NBA. But there isn’t any as great as the rivalry between Magic Johnson and Larry Bird.

Magic and Bird were drafted into the NBA when the league was heading toward bankruptcy. However, the two superstars’ numerous battles saved the NBA from drowning.

Speaking of their rivalry, Conan O’Brien tried to play mind games with Magic Johnson during their HORSE game by wearing a Larry Bird mask.

Despite Conan’s best efforts, Magic remained unfazed and went on to easily win the game.

There was another hilarious moment in the video, where Magic tried on Larry Bird’s masks and tried to become the Boston Celtics legend. Magic joked about wearing a Larry Bird mask as a black man.

All things considered, the friendly banter between Conan and Magic made the game of HORSE extremely enjoyable for the fans, and they will hope to see more of these games.
