Thanks my man. It was really fun watchin you understand Magic. He is the GOAT winner by %.. Seriously.. Look it up. And yeah.. Larry was as a bad ass as they say I saw it all ...and it was glorious
@@mannyneva1760 - Can Magic and Larry flop like LeBron? Sorry. I shouldn't disrespect those two. I think Larry's the GOAT. But Jordan and Magic are up there too, a few others are as well.
Magic was extremely versatile. That Game 6 against Philly starting in Kareem's place shows this and shows he had a lot more scoring punch than he was given credit for. Couldn't shoot like Bird but when the situation called for it, he could still pump in the points. I have him a close 4th all time behind Bird, both behind Russell and Wilt.
Greatest 20 yr ever in NBA history college championship mop NBA championship finals mvp played all 5 positions in the finals 42 15 and 7 best PG in NBA history
I always liked when the Lakers would go big and small at the same time. They go big in the backcourt with Cooper (6'7") and Magic (6'9"). Then go small up front with Worthy (6'9"), A.C. Green (6'9") and Mychal (Klay's Daddy) Thompson (6'10"). They could almost switch everything. They had quick feet and long arms. That lineup was TOUGH.
Important NBA history!!!! The Lakers announcer that you hear on the video is named chick Hearn. Laker announcer for 47 years. He created many of the basketball terms that are used every day. Finger roll, slam dunk, dribble drive…. (chickisms… look it up) The greatest non-player impact in NBA history. He is responsible for the language used when talking about basketball everywhere in the world.
Your reactions were hilarious......I watched nearly all of that happen live in the '80s! Remember, when he took over in that finals game and won it for them, he started at center but played all 5 positions at some point in the game....as a 20 year old rookie.....the only rookie EVER to win "Finals MVP"! He was special! There's a REALLY good documentary about Magic and Bird called "Magic & Bird: A Courtship of Rivals"......I HIGHLY recommend checking it out!
I hope you understand now, how old school guys like me, get out on the open courts today, and wipe our whole a$$ with these young bux. We growed up on Magic, Bird, MJ, Barkley, Pip, Stock, Malone, Ewing, etc...
