It's hard to believe my review is the only here for Magic Johnson. Jesus this is one of the best NBA Players of all time and a class act!!!
Magic played guard for the Lakers his whole career and he lived up to his name of "Magic". He gave the most spectacular passes you've ever seen: The No Look pass, the Drive and Dish, the Behind the Back pass. Oh yeah Magic was 6 ft 9!! I've never heard a player that tall playing guard. The only person that comes to mind is Michael Jordan at 6 6 but Magic as 6 ft 9 made him like Jordan an incredible tough player to guard.
Magic like the all time greats made his team better. I hear the crap that Magic won his rings because he had James Worthy, Byron Scott, Kareem, etc as if Magic didn't make these guys better. He did just like Jordan and the Bulls. No way Pippen, Paxson and any other Bulls player lucky enough to win a ring with Jordan would win a ring without him.
Most analysts and commentators will say the same. On the subject of Magic and Jordan. While Jordan accomplish an insane amount of things, he never accomplished one thing that Magic did which was in his rookie season win an NBA Title and be named MVP as well. That puts Magic in a special league.
The Showtime Era of the 1980s was a great, great time in the NBA. Of course Magic had great feuds with Larry Bird, Isiah Thomas, and many more.
Magic led the Lakers to five NBA Titles and put the Lakers as they always have been as one of the true classic organizations in the NBA.
Unfortunately Magic had to by force retire in 91 due to HIV. He actually had a ton of basketball left in him but due to disgusting complaints and opposition by NBA and it's player, Magic decided to retire. It's a shame really. This guy did so much for city of Los Angeles it's inspiring. Los Angeles despite whatever stereotype you've heard is a tough place. The Lakers still above everything else still stand as one of the city's true gems and Magic has a big part to do with that.
He tried a comeback later but there was far too much time away. Still Magic Johnson will be remembered as not just a great player but like Jordan a human being that touched so many people in his life.
