When you’re Magic Johnson, simply going out to dinner for a wedding anniversary isn’t enough.

The Hall of Fame basketball player vacationed in Monte Carlo with his wife Cookie Monday for their wedding anniversary. While there, the couple was joined by another legendary basketball player, Michael Jordan.

The notoriously salty Jordan buddied up to Johnson all night. The Lakers legend even paid Jordan the ultimate basketball compliment, calling him the “greatest basketball player that’s ever played.”
