Like most of the sports world, Magic was captivated by the ESPN documentary, "The Last Dance" but while most people were looked back and remembered their perspective as a fan, Magic reminisced about the actual events because he was there. One of the most interesting parts of the documentary was when all the NBA greats at the time gathered at the Warner Bros. Studio Lot to play pickup games with Michael Jordan while he was filming "Space Jam." Johnson shared a picture from one of those games and looked back with fond memories.

"This picture brings back so many memories from when Michael was shooting Space Jam on the Warner Brothers lot. What a great photo of me, Michael, Lester Conner, Reggie Miller, Reggie Theus, Pooh Richardson, Cedric Ceballos, Jack Haley, and Dennis Rodman!"
