What could possibly rival Magic Johnson‘s remarkable prowess on the basketball court? The answer might not be immediately evident, but Jimmy Kimmel’s recent show unveiled a distinct facet of the legend that’s worth a double take. While this moment may never be able to overshadow his unparalleled versatility on the court, it undeniably demands attention.

The billionaire athlete, Johnson, faced a unique dilemma during his interview on Jimmy Kimmel?s show. So, let’s find out more about it.

Magic Johnson recreates the iconic fur coat moment

The businessman and dedicated philanthropist graced Jimmy Kimmel’s show, where he delved into the numerous layers of his career. During their conversation, the legend also delighted the audience with tales of his luxurious vacation with another basketball icon, the Chicago Bulls legend, Michael Jordan.

However, the true surprise came when the host decided to unveil a captivating picture from his past, one that captured an iconic moment for the guest. In the photo, we can see the basketball legend in a fine fur coat, harkening back to the year 1988 in the vibrant city of Chicago. As the coat caught his eye, he reminisced, stating, “It was off the rack. I couldn’t believe that it fit me. Most Furs come up short on my sleeves, but man did I rock it though, man.”

Another surprise was awaiting him. Out of the blue, Kimmel brought the very coat on the show and requested that he put it on. After facing the dilemma of whether the coat would still fit him, Johnson tried it on. He said, “Let me see if this fit,? and recreated the moment almost 35 years after the original. Here is the moment for you to enjoy.

Ironically, the same picture of Johnson donning the same fur coat gained widespread attention for one specific reason.

So, when another picture of Johnson alongside Mike Tyson and other celebrities resurfaced, it went viral, sending people into a frenzy. However, fans were disheartened to discover that the picture was a fake, manipulated through Photoshop. The thought of these entertainment and sports giants coming together in real life would have been truly iconic.

Although the image was fabricated, the photo of Johnson wearing the same fur coat that appeared on Jimmy Kimmel’s show was genuine. As for whether the 2023 Magic or 1988 Magic pulled it off better, both pictures have their unique charm, making it a tough call to decide.
