Johnson kicked off his series of tweets by re-tweeting ESPN’s Dick Vitale, who said that he totally agrees with Michael Jordan, who admitted earlier in the day on Thursday that he “absolutely laughed” when he heard Bryant’s bold prediction. Johnson said that he “laughed as well.”
Johnson then issued the following tweets, which includes calling Jordan the greatest player of all time. Many would agree with that statement, but hearing it from someone who battled on the court extensively with MJ during the Dream Team’s scrimmages is pretty cool.
The 1992 Dream Team had 11 HOFs, 23 champ rings & the greatest player of all time in Jordan. No chance this years team would take us.

Our ’92 team had too many winners, were too smart & too competitive to lose to Kobe & the 2012 team. I am excited to watch them though.

Johnson joins Jordan, Charles Barkley and Larry Bird as members of the Dream Team to respond to Bryant. Don’t be surprised if he isn’t the last Dream Teamer to step forward, though. After all, it’s in their competitive blood.
