Magic Johnson lost 4 Finals. One against Sub .500 Houston

[KungFuJoe]

Why do so many people respond to obvious troll/bait threads on ISH?

[T_L_P]

Magic is the greatest Laker ever, and the second greatest player to ever wear a Lakers jersey.

[SamuraiSWISH]

Thankfully Magic was too coward to get drafted by Chicago.

This kid manipulated his way to go play in LA with Kareem because he's a slept on entitled competitive coward of the same vein as Kobe, or LeBron ... karma was served and Chicago was gifted the GOAT by the basketball heavens.

The man who eventually made Magic his bitch in the 1991 Finals.

You can be such a good poster at times, and then write some irregular School of Skip Bayless nonsense above. I'm curious as to how many idiots will take the bait and give you a genuine reply.

Nothing I said wasn't factual ...

Magic wanted to play for the Lakers w/ Kareem, didn't want to be drafted by Chicago. Manipulated his way to a desired destination. Entitled. Coward.

Jordan made Magic his BITCH in the 1991 Finals

Jordan 31 ppg, 11 apg, 7 rpg, 3 spg on 56% (guarded Magic frequently)
Magic 19 ppg, 12 apg, 8 rpg on 43% (guarded no one)

Bulls 4 games
Lakers 1 game

Thankfully for Bulls fans, too.

Had Magic gone to Chicago, he would have led them to titles, and there would have been no need to draft Jordan.

Jordan would have been drafted by another losing team, played on losers several years, putting up empty stats year-after-year, and finally, when surrounded by the best supporting casts in the league, he would have gone on to greatness.

Without Kareem, Riley, and the rest of those Lakers rosters? Doubtful.

In their ten years on the same team, ...in the games that Magic missed, the Lakers won 60% of them. In the games that Kareem missed, LA won 75% of them. Furthermore, and with KAJ, Magic had a .740 winning percentage. In the rest of his career, including his come-back in '95-96...a career .743 winning percentage!

Magic isn't winning any rings in the 80's ECF with the Bulls roster. And he was retired by the start of the '92 season. He's not sniffing 5 rings, let alone winning 6 rings.

Bulls lucked out due to Magic's entitled cowardice.

We got the GOAT. Who then molded a young Scottie Pippen to his image, and became the best sidekick of all-time.

Then to add insult to injury, MJ curb stomped Magic and his Lakers in the Finals.

This. Just like Kobe.

Magic doesn't get AIDS in Chicago (maybe a bullet, but not AIDS).

You need to factor that in.

How do we know? Magic seemed to be a deviant on the DL?

Magic ABUSED Jordan whenever they were matched up one on one.

Magic had a TON more mileage at that point(He'd played as many playoff games that point as Jordan would in his ENTIRE CAREER), was swarmed by Pippen and Jordan defensively, but whenever he was guarded by them one on one he abused them...not to mention Magic had key injured teamates(Scott, who was guarding Jordan on one leg, and Worthy).

He just BULLIED Jordan in the paint.

and 2 of Magic's finals losses are because of injuries(83, 89).

[KevinNYC]

Lost in the 1st round as the reigning FMVP to a Sub .500 team.

Since you've never watched Moses Malone play, you may want to sit at the back of the class until you have.
