There was a guest of honor at Levi's Stadium for the San Francisco 49ers showdown versus the Green Bay Packers in Week 4. Before the game, NBA legend Magic Johnson hung out on the sideline with some of the big-name players.

Johnson took a picture with each team's starting quarterback and shared it on his Instagram account. Here he is with San Francisco's Colin Kaepernick before the game.

And here he is with Green Bay's Aaron Rodgers, whom Johnson refers to as "the Best QB in the NFL" in the caption.

Magic was like a quarterback on the basketball court, but he also has an appreciation for fine defense. He took a picture with Packers outside linebacker and sack master Julius Peppers, too.

The last pre-game photo Johnson posted was with 49ers CEO Jed York, whom he thanked for hosting him at Levi's Stadium on Sunday.

Even though Johnson is known for his hoops skills, he's also a pretty big football fan. The former Los Angeles Lakers superstar said he's ready to see a team in the city that gave him five NBA championships, according to a USA TODAY report from last February.
