Clyde Drexler denies making Magic Johnson quotes in book
Drexler said in a phone interview that the quotes attributed to him were "totally ludicrous" and he has "no idea" where McCallum got them. In a statement released through the Houston Rockets, Drexler says he would've never said those things and that Johnson is one of his closest longtime friends.
"Magic and I have a friendship that goes back more than 28 years, and I would never say such hurtful things," Drexler's statement said. "I have reached out to Magic to assure him that I did not say those things and to apologize to him and his family for even having to respond to something as baseless as this."
