Magic Johnson says it was the worst missed call in NBA history

[tomtucker]

Most likely the other way around

My best memory of Magic commentating is:

"See, right there. He should have tooken that shot"



I remember asking myself.....did he just say 'tooken'?

Well, Magic did "attain" the HIV virus.

Bill Simmons was on point when he described Magic's commentary, I got a visual/audio while reading it.

With one minute left in a typical Bulls-Knicks game, the Knicks will take the lead on a Ewing shot, and then MJ will answer with a basket, and then Magic will scream something like, "Patrick was down on his end sayin' I'M GONNA WIN THIS GAME and Michael came back down and said UH-UH BIG FELLA YOU AIN'T WINNIN' ON MY COURT, BABY!!!!!"

That is definitely the type of corny stuff Magic would say.

That Simmons column if fugging hilarious.


"Because Magic couldn't let go. He launched an NBA comeback before the '93 season, painfully exposing everyone's collective fears and prejudices towards the HIV virus. After opponents grumbled about playing against him, there was a surreal moment in the final Lakers exhibition game, when Magic's arm was scratched by an opposing player. The crowd hushed. His teammates were looking at him like he was a leper. Even the trainer looked nervous as he treated the wound. And right there, everyone realized that this couldn't work, not yet. Magic's illness had transcended the game. He quit. Again.

So here's Magic ...

Hey, wait a second... where did everyone go?

... leading him to TV.

And here the wheels came off. Magic released an autobiography, colored with tales about his (VERY HETERO!!!!!!) sexual escapades, then shamelessly plowed through the talk show circuit. Did we really need to know about his elevator trysts, or his six-person orgies, or his bizarre philosophy about cheating on longtime girlfriend Cookie (as long as his one-night stand didn't share his bed all night, it was somehow okay)? Wasn't this crossing the line? Was Magic really educating America's youth about the HIV virus, or was he simply trying to affirm and re-affirm his heterosexuality? It wasn't his best hour.

Pretty good excuse, somewhat creative.

"Yeah we hooked up but I didn't share the bed with her all night so it's okay!"
