NBA legend Michael Jordan had a brutal nickname for Magic Johnson during a post-career meeting.

Jordan, 62, is one of the best players in NBA history and also one of the most well-known and influential athletes ever.

During what was a truly illustrious professional career, he got his hands on six NBA championships while playing for the Chicago Bulls.

He also won the Olympic gold medal on two occasions, in Los Angeles in 1984 and in Barcelona in 1992.

After retiring from professional basketball, Jordan continued his legacy through his work with sports fashion giants Nike.

Earlier in the year, Jordan was seen linking up with former Team USA teammate Johnson at an event.

In a video post on social media, Jordan was heard calling Johnson 'Old Dog'.

He said: "That's Old Dog right there. Where your shoes at? We can go play 1 on 1, me and you, right now."

Speaking previously, Johnson was quick to point out Jordan when asked who he considers the GOAT of NBA.

As per Basketball Forever, Johnson said: "I would have to say Michael. We haven’t seen anybody do the things that Michael could do. And he was physically so gifted at the same time, smart. And then I think that we have two other Lakers following him right after that, and that would be LeBron [James] and Kareem [Abdul-Jabbar].

"But Michael, I would say, and then you got to throw Bill Russell in there because 11 championships, you can’t deny that. When a man wins that many World Championship rings, he’s got to be in the GOAT conversation. No question about it. So, they go back and forth in today’s world about Michael and LeBron, and that’s okay."

He added: "“But Michael, I still remember that shot he did against us in ’91 where he went up with the right hand, tongue was out, and we went for it. See, you’re too young. I want you to YouTube this, okay?

"So he watched us go down, switched the ball from his right to his left, tongue went left, and he spun it against the glass and good. Still the greatest shot I’ve ever seen."
