‘Drake is bringing a lot to the table,’ Johnson tells Mixtape Daily. By Shaheem Reid Drake and LeBron James Photo: canvascleveland.com Celebrity Favorites Drake coached a basketball team in his “Best I Ever Had” music video , and he recently had a chance to call plays with NBA legend Magic Johnson during the NBA All-Star Game festivities in Dallas. Drake and Magic’s team beat the squad coached by Alonzo Mourning and assistant coach Mario Lopez. Common, Chris Tucker and Pitbull were among the celebs who played with athletes such as Rick Fox, Chris Mullin and Terrell Owens. Magic, an NBA Hall of Famer, said working with Drake earned him cool points at home. “Drake is bringing a lot to the table, man, with a young audience,” Magic said in Dallas. “He’s from Toronto. I think he’s bringing it hard and heavy, you know? My daughter said I was cool because I was coaching with him instead of him coaching with me. All right, thank you!” Meanwhile, LeBron James is like all of us, waiting on Drizzy’s Thank Me Later debut . Put aside the fact that they both endorse Sprite or that Drake’s “Forever” was the highlight of James’ “More Than a Game” film soundtrack — #23 said the Toronto MC is just gifted. “Unbelievable recording artist,” LeBron said of Drake. “Unbelievable talent. I’m looking forward [to] his first LP. I think we all got So Far Gone and all the mixtapes he’s come out with. But he’s an unbelievable talent. He’s great for everybody, great for music.” For other artists featured in Mixtape Daily, check out Mixtape Daily Headlines . Related Videos Mixtape Daily: Sean Garrett, Lil Wayne, Fabolous
