Matt Kemp: 'I Can Beat Magic Johnson in Basketball'

Matt Kemp says that he could beat new Dodgers' owner and NBA legend Magic Johnson in basketball: "I can beat him in basketball. Right now, I can beat him in basketball... He knows I can beat him in basketball... I heard he still has a great shot, but I have a great shot, too." Watch clip:

Good grief! Matt Kemp is what - 20 years younger than Magic? Maybe he could "beat" him in some aspects of basketball, like running up and down the court for 48 minutes ( even that is a big maybe), but I'll take Magic in a game of horse, or a one on one pickiup game any day.

Methinks Kemp has overblown, unrealistic opinion of himself.

I can beat Matt Kemp at chess. Of course that doesn't mean a lot. My dog could beat Matt Kemp at chess.

Oh yeah Kemp? Well Magic Johnson could beat you in the Home Run Derby!

Uh...Magic is 50 plus now...you are a world class athlete in a different sport - but still a world class athlete and half Magic's age - so of course you can probably beat him.

Matt Kemp is like 6'3'', Magic is like 6'8'' he'd just back him into the post and score with ease.

Are we talking HORSE or 1-1. Kemp could realistically beat him at HORSE.
