Magic Johnson is 6 feet 9 inch tall who plays on point guard position. If opponent PG guard him, it will be mismatch because of height advantage. They don't know how to block him. The only chance is steal his ball, or double-teamed him. Alas, his vision and passing skill are extraordinary. All i can say is, he breaks the game 'rule'. Magic is also able to use his body power against smaller guard player during full-court fastbreak plays; and in half-court plays, he possess babyhook skill to do unblockable shots.

The best of the bests... Magic Jordan Bird.....

There will NEVER be another pg like Magic Johnson the greatest at his position and a top 5 player all time for sure.

All are very entertaining and compelling to watch. Check them out to see exactly why he was called Magic... kzread.info/dash/bejne/o2yFxNFph9Tcf6w.html kzread.info/dash/bejne/paNstJWHhMXUddo.html kzread.info/dash/bejne/k6yWq9GBoanHkZs.html The first video is another very well-done highlight video, not just of his amazing passes, but also of his very underrated offensive abilities as a scorer (right and left handed hook shots, countless half-full court buzzer beaters, (as if he practiced those shots hundreds of times), demonstrating his clutchness). Showtime Lakers on full display...fast break after fast break after fast break. Just constantly running up and down the floor, like a track meet... The second video is actual game footage that shows Magic and Showtime Lakers in an actual game, rather than just highlights, to demonstrate that they really played that way throughout entire games, and that it’s not just a series of highlights inflating them up. Showtime Lakers were so much fun and very exciting to watch... The last video is an HBO documentary that is one of the best documentaries I’ve ever seen. (Many clips from it were spliced into this video above). It highlights the Magic vs. Bird rivalry, which still to this day was one of the best rivalries in all of sports. It gives insight into not just their NBA careers, but also their lives, early careers, and childhoods. A very compelling story to watch... If you’re a fan of basketball in general, you’ll definitely enjoy watching these videos...

Larry Bird confirmed this

Greatest PG ever. No debate, and no one’s close. When you look up PG in a dictionary, it’ should be a picture of Magic.

Dude magics smile is so contagious on top of that he’s an amazing player

I wept when he told the world he was sick. That news back then was a death sentence. We all loved watching him and when we got to see him in the AllStar game and later in the Olympics it was beautiful. And he is still around today! Makes me smile whenever I see him.

@Jake Rowley He would've maybe gotten one more ring through sheer will because the Lakers were getting old at that point. He pretty much willed a banged up undermanned team to the Finals against the Bulls. But his five rings are sufficient to Jordans six because they were against legendary great teams. Not to mention Jordan couldn't guard him, it took Pippen to slow him down and change the momentum of the series.

Usually the people who get assists don’t get credited as much, but if it is magic Johnson then the people he passes to don’t get credited for their score lol

@ryanton3572

It’s because he had about 13 Assists but he still gets 19 and almost 8 aswell

HE’S SO UNPREDICTABLE, when I thought he was gonna pass, he scored it

Magic and Larry both could play every position on the court. Center, Power Forward, Small Forward, Point and Shooting Guard. You can't really say that about a lot of players. The fact that they played at the same time against each other is amazing. How many guards can play center and score 40 points??? It's unreal.

Best court vision in NBA history.

"He knew you were open before you knew you were open..." "we were just running down cos' we knew if there was a pass through, Magic would do it..."...Co-players comments are hilarious...For me the closest No2 to MJ, in the history of the game....

Do you realize this... it looks like he literally is picking up on any lapse in focus from the opposite team when deciding who to pass to in some of these plays! EPIC

Magic had more fun playing the game than anyone in history.

A magnificent player. No weakness. This video proves that anytime he wanted, he could become a fierce scorer, though he is known for being a great passer.
