As recounted by the New York Post's Peter Vecsey, the basketball columnist who broke the news of Johnson's decision to return, Magic reluctantly accepted an invitation to play in one of the pickup games organized by Jordan while the Bulls star was in Hollywood last summer filming a movie for Warner Bros.
