Magic thought Big Bird was becoming quite the smooth talker.
So, he blurted out with almost no hesitation, "That's right. Jack watches my tapes all the time, which is why he resembles me in so many ways. But he still needs some professional guidance. I'll head to Indiana and help him sharpen up that part of his game."
"That's fantastic, Magic. I can't wait to see Showtime back in the NBA," Larry Bird said, flattering him.
Magic basked in the compliment.
After hanging up from the long conversation, it finally occurred to Magic: 'Did I just get played?'
But on second thought, 'It's not like I'm losing anything. Teaching the younger generation is exactly what an all-time great like me should be doing.'
Besides, he'd only be teaching for a few days. How much could Su Xi really learn?
'Plenty of NBA superstars run training camps, but it's not like they've churned out any new ones,' Magic thought to himself.
