    Default Magic Johnson Appreciation Thread

    Thou shan't deny this man is one of the most talented players in NBA History. I am glad that I watched him evolve into a great player since he was drafted by the Lakers from Michigan State.

    When this was anounced I was in 7th grade. I'll never forget. This press conference happend in class. It was my teacher who showed it to us during class. I got choked up, hell, even the teacher was crying. Knowlegde of the disease wasn't what it was now, I honestly thought he was gonna die in a matter of weeks.

    To be continued...

    The comeback. First game back: 19 points 8 rebounds 10 assists after being away from the game 5 years! Watch the post game interview. If this guy doesn't have the most magnetic smile ever, I don't know who does.

    The Lakers took a beating in this game but watch the post game stuff. Magic's sportsmanship is amazing. And when have you ever seen two star players from opposing teams do interviews together? Peep MJ's comments about L.A.'s heart. Lol, classic stuff.

    One of the better gimmick accounts I have ever seen.

    Magic question of the day...

    If Magic did not retire in 1991, would he be the career assist leader?

    Stockton - 18 years, 15,806 assists
    Jackson - 14 years, 10,334 assists
    Kidd - 15 years, 10,148 assists
    Magic - 11 1/2 years, 10,141 assists

    I would think so. Dude retired at what, 31? 5 more productive years and he would prob still be #1 in assists.

    GOAT of PGs!

    For me growing up a Sixers fan, I respectfully declare this guy as my personal GOAT. A guy who plays every part and position exceptionally well and possesses a skillset that no player will ever duplicate.
