NBA news: Dwyane Wade received one of the biggest honors in his career after he was named as part of the NBA’s 75th Anniversary team. On that squad were the most iconic players in the history of the NBA, which of course, included Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson.
As expected, there was a bit of banter between the legends during this epic meeting, and Wade has now spilled the beans on all the smack-talking that went on behind the scenes.

Wade recently guested on the 7PM in Brookyln podcast, which is hosted by his good friend and fellow NBA 75th Anniversary Team member Carmelo Anthony. Both Wade and Melo were in the room when they witnessed Jordan and Magic go at it in what turned out to be an intense verbal exchange:
“You saw the clip with him and Magic that went viral, right?” Wade asked. “That was right away. I was just sitting there and I’m like, I’m listening to Jordan and Magic talk s**t. ‘Put your sneaks on let’s go right now.’ Oh they serious.”

According to Wade, the mood in the room immediately changed when MJ arrived. Melo added that the GOAT was sizing everybody up as soon as he got there. Apparently, Magic was having none of Jordan’s antics, which led to an intense moment between the two Hall of Famers.
Would you expect anything less from these two age-old rivals?
