Actor Quincy Isaiah, who plays Magic Johnson in “Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty” on HBO, talked about playing the NBA great, including having to attend a basketball boot camp with former Lakers F Rick Fox. Isaiah: “I was just thinking like, ‘Oh, we about to just shoot some hoops, throw some passes.' He was like, ‘Lace them up,’ and we start running and dribbling and shooting and just started doing drills. I would shoot, run, touch the line, come back, shoot, run, touch the line. It was a lot, it was a lot. But I found out later, he tried to make me throw up. Didn't happen” (“Late Night,” NBC, 4/6).
