Magic johnson, the real MJ please stand up?

Question

Given his age (a rookie at age 20), the stakes (NBA Finals), the opponent (Dr. J and the 76ers) and the fact that he moved to center to replace injured legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Magic's 42-point, 15-rebound, 7-assist, 3-steal effort in the title-clinching Game 6 of the 1980 NBA Finals was probably the best individual performance of all time.

It could be argued that he's the one player in NBA history who was better than Michael Jordan.

Magic Johnson

Team: Los Angeles Lakers (1979-91, 1996)

Titles: 5 (1980, 1982, 1985, 1987, 1988)

Honors: 12-time All-Star, three-time MVP (1987, 1989, 1990), three-time Finals MVP (1980, 1982, 1987), Hall of Fame

The player: The prototype big point guard. The only player in NBA history who could dominate -- not just play -- all five positions.

Magic was the best ever in transition. He led the break and shoved the ball down your throat or backed you down and carved you up with a pass or drive.

He was unselfish -- but not to a fault (he'd take over and score when necessary) -- and he made passing cool.

Answer 1

Agree. Not much else to be said. Come to think of it, his passes were incredible. I still get chills when ever I see highlights of his passes.

Answer 2

the difference between jordans teammates and magics teammates is that when magic came into the league he already had a future hall of famer on his roster kareem abdul-jabbar along with other good players,

as for jordan he wasn't as lucky as magic or even lucky as larry bird to have other great teammates, when jordan came into the bulls organization

he pretty much had to carry the team on his back,

magic had kareem, michael cooper, jammal wilkes and other good supporting cast,

just like larry bird with robert parish and kevin mchale or even the late dennis johnson who was mvp in the finals for the seattle sonics only championship

i agree that magic could play all positions on the court, no doubt, he was un-selfish & made cool passes also,

and just looking at magic, he is some-what the same as kobe they both have made it to the finals without a dominate big man, but they both can't win without a great center, magic and kareem, kobe and o'neal

now kobe is going to have a good if not a great center in andrew bynum and i think that lakers will win if andrew bynum stays healthy!!!

who did jordan have bill cartwright, bill wenington, luc longley

will perdue, wow not even one dominant big man!!!

Answer 3

Legends and artifacts relationship again hundreds and hundreds of years have ignited guy's creativeness for many years to centuries with theories of historical astronauts and alien beings from different planets. Sightings of "UFOs" or "unidentified flying gadgets" of various sizes, shapes and different features were recorded world wide for 1000s of years, potentially hundreds and hundreds. In general TV suggests, it's claimed that "sky humans" are purportedly recorded as having introduced complicated tradition to the hominids who've lived on the earth. According to those legends, supposedly, this "first touch" had happened beforehand, following cataclysm. Some experiences relate this civilizing occasion to have occurred a couple of instances for the duration of Earth's historical past. Geological, paleontological, anthropological and archaeological information monitor that there have certainly been many cataclysms in this earth, a couple of on a international stage, with local weather difference and mass extinction. The stories allegedly recount that once this sort of disaster, many surviving people have been decreased to the Stone Age however that extra complicated humanoids descended from spacecraft and reestablished civilization. Are those claims precise? Were those "sky humans" extraterrestrial beings? Have there been "extraterrestrial beings" amongst us all alongside? Or is all of it simply an phantasm?
