The UCLA cheerleaders are swinging too!
"Good! Just beautiful!
But is there anything wrong with this? "
First a loud sigh, and then the conversation changed, but Magic Johnson felt that something was not normal.
"What's wrong with jumping so high?"
"If you watch Odin every game like I do, you'll know what went wrong. If Nick Van Exel was attacked like this, Odin would definitely run after the ball.
Odin's ability to reach today's level is entirely due to his ability to read the field with flexible movements!"
Magic Johnson explained his analysis to Larry Bird.
