That was a quote from Magic Johnson’s book "My Life", about his relationship with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. If anyone knew Kareem the best on the Lakers, it was Magic, who was assigned to Jabbar in his rookie season as a rite of initiation.

Mikan, smiling, replied, "Well, I always felt that whenever I played the game, I never was totally 100 percent. So, I gave myself a wholesale price of 99." Riley laughed and asked, "No retail, huh?" Mikan sheepishly replied, "Yeah, no retail." "Well, tell you what, George," Riley answered, "You sold retail."

That was a quote from Magic Johnson’s book "My Life", about his relationship with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. If anyone knew Kareem the best on the Lakers, it was Magic, who was assigned to Jabbar in his rookie season as a rite of initiation.

                    [Summary] => World-famous coach Pat Riley once asked one of the greatest NBA players of all time, George Mikan, why he wore the number 99 on his jersey. Mikan, smiling, replied, "Well, I always felt that whenever I played the game, I never was totally 100 percent. So, I gave myself a wholesale price of 99." Riley laughed and asked, "No retail, huh?" Mikan sheepishly replied, "Yeah, no retail." "Well, tell you what, George," Riley answered, "You sold retail."
