Magic Johnson got SWEPT (0-4) in the NBA Finals TWICE.

[daily]

OP was referencing getting swept, without using any context at all.
Hell, in 1989 Finals Magic played a whopping 75 minutes IN TOTAL.
In fact, I think Byron Scott didn't play at all.
Obviously they got their ass kicked.

Scott didn't play at all and Magic didn't play in the last two games after suffering a hamstring pull, left the court midway through game 2.

So yes the Lakers were swept by the Pistons but I think the player (magic) needs to actually be available to play if you're going to hold it against him

He won 1 out of 4. 1-4

We're not doing fg% here you idiot

Magic Johnson is also very overrated these days.

This. He was Kobe before Kobe.

And neither team that SWEPT him had a top 10 GOAT player.


Look, I'm not a LeBron fan, and I hope the Spurs win... but it's time to stop the overreaction and have some historical perspective.

the problem is exactly that. All people have now is overreaction. Magic's career has been over for quite some time so people can justly place him where he belongs. In the end LeBron will be all time great and what people say now won't be the same as what they say after 10 + years in retirement
