The way their games contrast each other is awesome. It’s like comparing a prime Derrick rose to a prime steph curry. Zeke had the scoring, the midrange game, the handle and was a pin point passer in the half court and like to play off ball. Magic grabs the board, run down in transition, can make any pass going at speed, and uses his physical dominance to just get easy lay ups or post ups. Both team players and wizards but totally different style of play

Thanks for Everything MR Magic Johnson for all your great Basketball skills n Eyes n back of your head making passes that just didn't fake out the players on the court but also the fans in the Stands Believe that 1000

Thank you Shannon for this platform. Please continue to shed light where there is darkness. Keep it up!

Two of my favorites and greatest to ever to do

One thing I always respected was Magic Johnson's compettive spirit. I have been watching him play since he was Sophomore year at Michigan State. The first time I saw him play, I knew he was special, but I wasn't sure if his style of play was transferable to the NBA level. It turns out that it was, mostly due to Magic Johnson ability to play multiple positions. In High School he played Center, but in college he played Point Guard, and his first year in the NBA he basically had to share point guard duties with Norm Nixon. But the Lakers sort of used Norm Nixon more like shooting guard even though he was only 6ft 2, which allowed he and Magic to stay on the court at the same time. In the 70s, the guard positions were more interchangeable than they are today. Both guards were able to bring the ball up the court and run the offense. But in today's NBA, most shooting guards do not have the skillset to play the point guard position, they are strictly shooters.

You know what's sick about all that Magic/Isiah thing is the teammates of Magic put him in a position to do that along with coach Riley.... Why would you even put your captain in a position to do that? See, that shows you, what?... The Lakers tried to take out Thomas; just like the media talks about how the Pistons played rough against Jordan... so everyone was doing that back then, just like what the Lakers did vs. the Celtics -- that's what Isiah Thomas was talking about when he spoke about Jordan and how EVERYONE played like that back in the 80's to win titles, Jordan wasn't special in that regard.

Isaiah Thomas is a very emotional dude lol

Something doesn’t add up. Luke’s last season in LA was 2019, same as Magic’s.
