This episode was a step back. Totally, it's all over the place, and I have to blame both Adam McKay and Jonah Hill for that. A lot of the breaking the fourth wall stuff is starting to wear out its welcome.
I can't tell if they are trying to portray Magic Johnson as a good guy or as an asshole. Perhaps he's a little bit of both, but he can be a very sweet son to his parents, but then a real dick head to other people.
