“Everybody kept waiting for Magic to die,” said Drexler about his Olympic teammate Magic Johnson in the new “Dream Team” biography by Jack McCallum .  “Every time he’d run up the court everybody would feel sorry for the guy, and he’d get all that benefit of the doubt. Magic came across like, ‘All this is my stuff.’ Really? Get outta here, dude. He was on the declining end of his career… “If we all knew Magic was going to live this long, I would’ve gotten the MVP of that game [the 1992 NBA All-Star game), and Magic probably wouldn’t have made the Olympic team.”
