When an NBA legend talks you usually listen.

Michigan State's own Magic Johnson took time out of his day to pay the Green Bay Packers' QB Aaron Rodgers the ultimate compliment — comparing him to one of the best NBA players of all-time.

You could only imagine who Johnson was going to compare Rodgers to...and then he answered his own question: Larry Bird.

Magic said they have some of the same qualities.

He made some very good comparisons between Rodgers and Bird.

He did call Rodgers the best QB in the NFL.

After all is said and done, will the Green Bay Packers top the Lions in the NFC North?
