But Johnson also has spoken out of turn a few too many times for the NBA's taste, leading to multiple tampering fines while in his front office role with the Los Angeles Lakers.

So Hall of Famer waited in his car outside of James' car as free agency approached, telling Jimmy Kimmel he arrived an hour early.

"I'm an on-time guy," Johnson said. "I was just hoping I didn't have to go to the bathroom though."
