Being from LA and being a Lakers fan, Magic was and still is my favorite player. Watching him play was like watching poetry in motion. He could have been like Jordan, but he was unselfish in the sense that he wanted the players around him to be involved and share in on the glory. If you had even the slightest advantage to score, Magic had no problem making that pass. And who he is off the court....just an awesome guy with the biggest smile. A great player, but an even more amazing human being. 👍

Man, the best thing about Magic is that he was a hell of a team player. Nowadays, the best players want to keep the attention on them (not a problem, it creates some amazing plays), but you'd be looking a while to find a player that _could_ dunk and score to his heart's content, but decides in passing at the last millisecond to simply look cool and make his teammates look cooler. What a fucking legend.

My favorite player ever. The Magic man delivered us championships through the 80s, when I went from being an 8 year old just getting into basketball until I was a senior in high school. Then my freshman year at UCLA, looking forward to years of battling the hated Bulls, suddenly it was all over. Career cut way too short and yet he was still considered the best point guard ever, and still is in my opinion. Because he did exactly what a point guard is supposed to do. He made everyone around him better; he only took matters into his own hands when he had to, and then he had such a will to win and was so creative he usually left the other team shaking their heads in disbelief. The baby skyhook against the Celts in Boston to win it all was just…just…the balls on that guy though. Icewater for blood, the Proto-Mamba. The ultimate competitor but off the court the guy with the hugest smile even non-basketball fans knew. He was the glue that made Showtime so special, and with all respect to Kobe, who I loved so much and still do, it’s gotta be Earvin Magic Johnson who made basketball the most special for me personally.
@michaelroberts89523 жыл бұрын
Johnson's height gave him a built-in advantage over any guard he faced and gave the appearance of him 'bullying' smaller players. However, there's no denying his greatness - and when you review the tapes you realize he wasn't bullying shorter players but in fact was 'doing his thing' against opponents' forwards and centers (McHale, etc.). Dude was fantastic.

Was looking forward to this fast break,where Magic looked Hard at a teammate to his left,then threw a no-look to a teammate ahead,to his Right😳(best no-look pass I've ever seen🤯)

I’m a life long Lakers fan and Magic and I are close in age. I remember Showtime and those championships the most. That was the best basketball I’ve ever seen. I cried like a baby when he announced his first retirement. That was as heartbreaking as when we lost Kobe.

Back when 2 steps meant 2 steps, not 2 steps plus however many you want to take to "gather" the ball into some kind of fully held position. It's amazing how good some of these guys were back then while actually having to dribble up until the end of their possession.

I'm a white boy who can shoot, but can't run or jump, so I really appreciate two black players, Magic Johnson & Earl the Pearl Monroe who could do everythig that I, all of us, dreamed of doing. They were so good at what they did & it was so entertaining that it was impossible to be jealous. Looking back on it, I'm not only glad I saw them in person; I'm grateful that they are on KZbin anytime I want to see them again. I should also say that Larry Bird was on a par with them.

Magic johnson hook shot, greatest nba shot ever. Period period .
@qqw7432 жыл бұрын
That's four periods, which I would argue is a bit excessive. Here's how I arrived at that total. Counting from the word "ever" we see an actual period, then the word "period" twice, followed by another actual period. Also, I don't agree that it's the greatest NBA shot ever. And I was a huge fan who watched it live. For one thing, there was an easy pass to Kareem, so I'd argue that Magic made up his mind too soon. For another, it's just not that great a shot. Ever see Steph Curry play?

Lakers were so good back then (team game) and Magic was able to help his team so many ways. He had very few hiccup moments that so many of the other top greats could not avoid. He also played when the league might have been at its most competitive. I'd argue that the 5 titles Magic and the Lakers earned during this time may have been the most difficult 5 for any other player/team.

I will never forget how good he was. I was so fortunate to see this Era of basketball. I am a SF Giants and 49ers fan. My basketball team is the Phoenix Suns. My favorite athlete of all time is the Majic man. When Majic and the showtime Lakers would beat your team you almost didn't mind because you enjoyed the way he played the game. That's how good he was. Those Laker teams were the best of all time. Especially the 87 team.

Getting 100 here. Pretty much everything that Magic did was special. He is truly one of the greatest ever to play the game. From his 42 points, 15 boards, 7 assists in the 1980 finals, the the skyhook that he shot over Kevin Mchale(however it's spelled) in the 87 finals. To leading a CBA worthy roster(excluding Worthy) to the NBA finals against Jordan's stacked Bulls. Clearly, even ill, Magic was really something extremely very special. Yeah, DEF one of the GOAT players in NBA history
