Magics name is so good, ppl actually believe that's his real name and no one calls him Ervin anymore
true
Montoi Hadnott I call him Magic Aids
Montoi Hadnott if like me you were born after he was retired. Until I was about 13 I thought it was his real name. It fit perfectly. It's litterally his name on 2k
Djoxx2K i thought magic Johnson was a precursor to aids johnson i thought it was a running joke about his penis and aids
yap, no one knows Ervin Johnson.
I used to think Magic Johnson's first name was actually Magic.. When I finally found out it was Ervin I was really amazed lmfao
Lol yeah a lot of people think that
So glad it's just not me
Wait so it's not magic
Thats what we all said when we found out lmao
sameeeeee
Magic johnson= hookshot for 3s
Me=struggle to make a contested layup
I like how you put CONTESTED in it
@Survival everyone has
"Struggle to make a layup
So does my myplayer so...
No one: asked
The Answer is probably the coldest nickname of all time
zarrab dewan
I o I o
I swear
What about the babyface assasin
@@xXSkLzPrOXx yeah these are afro samurai character type names foreal
Greek freak
You know you have a good nickname when some people don't even know your first name
Lol
aye wassup white mamba
brian is better then mj
Shawn brown you chocking
Magic johnson

1) his airness
2) air canada
3) the big fundamental
4) the mailman
5) the glove
6) the rainman
7) the admiral
8) the iceman
9) the worm
10) the flash
Soham Singh Maruwada nah it’s george gervin
anthony ramos the snake
Soham Singh Maruwada yes it is
AK-47?? Andrei Kherilinko?
The Glide??
*MAGIC*
For all this time,i thought hIs name was *MAGIC*
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
HAHAHA ME TOO LOL
Gotta do another one! Penny Hardaway, Air Jordan, King James, Larry the Legend, The Rain Man - Shawn Kemp, The Glove - Gary Payton, Pistol Pete, The Mailman - Karl Malone to name a few. Shaq has multiple nicknames. Hit us with more! I'm subscribing so I'll be looking for it!
Ye the mailman I'm sad he missed that one
@@daxarnn4999 he hates karl malone so no surprise.
The diesel, white chocolate etc
You mean Reign Man, not Rain Man
Brandon Malone don’t blame him🤷🏾♂️
Had an essay to write but that can wait
lol
Same man same
same 💀
yooo same 💀😂
same for chem lmao
it's funny how in nba 2k they don't even have magic's real name on the roster. it just says magic johnson
billygowhoop where was Lebron James’s bird-man or “The Great”
I’d call Charles Barkley the basketball...
He’s wide as he is tall, and he’s GOOD at basketball.
Yeah, they had us in the first half not gonna life
My teacher asked me why I put Allen Iverson for my exam answer. I said, “Allen Iverson is always the answer.”
I started calling Pierce "the false" after he started flopping a lot after 2011.
I laughed so hard at that.
every nba player flops
L
Not all players flop
L
I still can't believe Kobe only won 1 MVP award...
Shaq only has 1 MVP award too. While Jerry West & Elgin Baylor have none.
Steve Nash has two as Shaq loves to point out XD. It is what it is. As Barkley puts it it's a popularity contest, finals MVP is what really matters.
You complaining about Kobe, I think it's a fucking sin Pete Maravich and Jerry West never won one.
Yeah...the Nash MVPs are a joke. At least one of those should have gone to Kobe. NBA writers fell in love with Nash on the plane ride out of Dallas at age 30. A guy that could barely squeak onto two All Star games as a reserve in his 20s suddenly became one of the greatest players of all time....AFTER age 30? Yeah right. Obviously Nash was just a product of the system in Phoenix. Not to mention that the Mavs got better after Nash left...that doesn't sound like an MVP to me.
@HarpoSpoke Bruh... When Nash joined the team they went from 29 wins to 62, that more than double. Dallas wasn't a better team the next season. And how the fuck can you give Kobe the MVP when he didn't even make the play offs😂
I never knew charles barkely was 6 '4
He is actually 6'5 without shoes
His actually height was 6'3 1/2. Jordan standing next to him is easily taller and he is 6'6 1/2
Aidan Stewart I thought he was 6'5"'cause of how he looks and his fat.
Charles Barkley is 6'6
Aidan Stewart he’s 6’6 now
Michael Jordan's nickname
Michael Jordan = G.O.A.T
Nah
You mean "black Jesus"
That is Lebron James.. The GOAT, The God of Basketball and The Messiah..
@@paulalbertantonio2378 Horse shit
Sthu thats Brian Scalabarinies nickname
"Now enough of me talking" continues to talk for 10 mins
I meant of me talking on facecam... This is my youtube video lol what did you expect would happen
Ya ik i was kidding lol
I have been with you mike since 200000
Xcali0722 I've been here since 10 subs lol
Cats Pats I was his first subscriber
Where the White Mamba at though?
he was too good for this list
Scalabrine the Goat.
The Ring Collector Oh it says legend, he obviously surpassed that status a long time ago, sorry didn't read properly
Im not a legend, im the fucking GOAT
it's said NBA legends not gods smh
Ain't nobody see Kobe Bryant take 4 to 5 steps @3:40?
NBA gives an extra step for every allstar game you get in
My nickname is “The Sloth”
Noah Graglia your slow?
What a coincidence. I am also known as Sloth
Same here
still better than slut
Noah Graglia lmao
For a long time, I thought magic's real name was magic
Me too
Me too
u mean erwin's real name

*Same*
His Airness: Sounds like he's the king of birthday balloons
White MAMBA: Deadly beast in Africa. sounds cool

Man watching AI highlights have to make a person smile. He was so smooth.
"The mailman doesn't run on Sundays, Karl." Scottie Pippen
Lorenzo Carter I'm surprised that no one has corrected this..but it's actually: "The mailman doesn't deliver on Sundays." - Scottie Pippen. Just saying.

Josh 1
Hayden Hicks nobody calls Michael god...
I've been watching ur videos for quite a few days and learned so much info about the nba, u just earned yourself a sub. Keep up the good work
Mike do a video on the game when Hakeem the dream went without water because of his religion!
that's a great idea
He was fasting cause of our religion.
Shaq and Kareem had to do the same thing but thanks for that comment and thanks mike for awesome videos.
Damn I never realised that muslim players still had to fast... Gosh, it's crazy how strong they are.
YES
Only Kobe is dope enough to give himself a nickname
Yaz Obeidallah the original snake😂
MrHorusAde True!! So selfish that he has no friends to give him a nickname...the right and only way to get one. So weak to give yourself one!! Lol!!
@Griffith did nuffin wrong you mean raping to get coochie!!?? Yeah someone's daughter would say that.
I love watching your videos they are really entertaining keep up the amazing work
Kevin Garnett is much more known as "The Kid" than "The Ticket" , his second nickname was most spoken when he went to the C's
I long for an NFL channel similar to this.
My brother makes videos but he never uploads because he's in college. Go search Colin Korzemba and yell at him in the comments to make videos
His brother made one
Colin Korzemba
do I see a bucs fan?
Buccs* technically Buccaneers, so.
Where's Frequency Vibrations?? smh
Sounds like a brand of vibrators!
boss key yacht
W
Titus Parker and pres
Titus Parker and pres
all of my life I thought its actually Magic Johnson..
now: hoOLoOOoYYyyy shit!
Could watch your videos all day
How about Pres or Freq?
Pres
Frequency Vibrations was so cheesy it was almost painful
president of basketball is understandable a little but whoever came up with freq should be fired
Pres
+TheRealBeatMaster WWWWWW
How about White Mamba? He got his before Kobe copied his nicknamfl;a efwe
He forgot the greatest legends, White Mamba and Swaggy P
and "The Bona fide Scrub" himself Kwame Brown
kwame was never a scrub ... kobe made that illusion to the media which was magnifide! check his numbers... he was never a superstar but he was an ok player.
wornoutshoes11 smh, its a joke. Calm down.
kwame was most definitely a scrub
Fav basketball channel
just barely found out about your channel today bro. I live every video I've seen so far. SUBSCRIBED!!
love*
Curry got his name, "the choker" after the 2016 NBA FINALS. The nickname represents what Curry does on the court.
W, unfortunate that there's no "White Mamba" on this list.
Scalabrine sucks hes not even better than other nba legends.
Major L ^^^^^^^
Scalabrine needed like 7 years to become a good player while Darko won as a rookie.
Brian Scalabrine is the GOAT what r u talking abt
I got my nickname the GOAT cause I'm the Greatest of All Time
or just because you look like one
Roasted🔥🔥🔥
Red Mamba
your are funny,...he does look like a goat
Longis Cadenotas That was not proper English.
i like da way u document and narrate your videos
Bro this clip was grate i am a big fan been a sub for a year now. My man
Where's MJ and Lebron (Air Jordan) (King James)
MJ had multiple nicknames lol
We all know where those came from
What about "the mailman?"
You mean the fail man?:D
What?
+Daniel Guerrero He's probably talking about how he never won a championship.... 😂
He got the nickname the mailman because he would always deliver.
He didn't deliver on Sunday's though...(Scottie Pippen)
Awesome video man
The magic one was kool nice work brother
Great Video Mike !
love your channel, u and mike should collaborate
love ur edits dude
Love your channel man, but you don't have to comment on every basketball you tubers vids
stfu, he can do whatever he wants.
he just likes basketball i dont comment but theres nothing wrong with it
Imagine if MJ and hakeem played together
MJ Hakeem and Clyde
82-0 are the only words to describe it
Magic, MJ, Clyde, hakeem, Shaq = gg
Curry, Klay, Durant, Green, Zaza, gg
add another 15-0 to that. 16 if it's present day playoffs
This was a fun video... It made me think of other interesting nicknames and I gotta ask... Who gave Gary Payton his nickname? That should be really interesting. The Glove!? That's like a mobster nickname or something... Gary the Glove...lol
Or what about the Human Highlight Film Dominique Wilkins?
Kinda self explanatory
best UA-cam basketball channel, I need to see more content from you.
Thanks! Appreciate it
It’s good, but opra sideverson is better
My second favorite channel
I thought they called him "Magic Johnson" BC he had AIDS and he really does have a "magic johnson" 😂
lmao
Haha
Omfg W
Earvin "Magic" Johnson never had AIDS.
oml you kids he had HIV not AIDS
3:39 how is that not a travel
FR
he bounces it again if you slow it down you’ll see
Love your videos
Plz do what if Kobe went to college
Or lebron
+Kobe Bryant L
+Kobe Bryant Kwame went to college though
*16
What if Kobe and Shaq stayed together
*Shaq and penny
Dumbass
Kobe would've never won a finals mvp
Jokes. Look at what Shaq says now every time they ask him that question. Shaq admits that he was slowing down and Lakers wanted him to take less money because he was no longer the best player on the team.
steph M
what about Yao Ming ,The GreatWall of china,Jeremy Lin,linsanity
Great video bro!
Yo mike k you need to make more videos dude. Your videos are actually so good keep it up!
Thanks Jeremy! Appreciate it
Freq
Mike Korzemba hey what about the "AIR" Jordan nick-name, that should've be in your video. Great video btw good job keep it up
Mike I love your positive energy and you seem like the kind of guy I'd love to play 2k with? Thanks for all the videos, your awesome🏀.
Thanks my man I appreciate that! I'm going to be looking for subs to play on my 2k channel so make sure to comment there when I ask!
I did as soon as you mentioned it you had some awesome pulls!
Hey Mike, love your videos, but couldn't you have done MJ the GOAT
IMO “The Truth” is the best nickname for 1 reason: The Best Player at the time HAD to give it to him.
Awesome video
"Enough of me talking"
Proceeds to talk for the rest of the video
Jk great video dude
Ray Allen aka Jesus Shultersworth
mike the goat
"Magic Johnson"
Now are we sure that he didn't get his nickname from just balling out on the court?
If you watch the video, he basically did. He balled out and a newspaper writer came up with calling him magic
The 2016 best rookies vs the best 2016 veterans
That's actually a good idea
What about Penny Hardaway lol his real name is Anfernee
penny is his nicknams
Remember "Lil Penny"? (Voice of young, not quite a superstar yet Chris Rock)
I thought his real name was penny💀
Omg
Yes penny his nickname
Mike: in NBA HISTORY | Also Mike: of ALL TIME
Man i love your Videos
U put every nickname in the desc 😩
No lebron for being "the chosen one" that shit is awesome for a nickname anyone agree? Like if you do so he sees this..!!
No one calls him that though, if anything it would be King James
Fuck LeBron
he was a legend before his carer started
you mean hyped ...
Fishermen Games Kobe >>> LeBron
Vince Carter = Half Man / Half Amazing
This is the Carter also Air Canada. Vinsanity. Invinceable. Sky walker.
@@danrotaru7468 Sky Walker is/was already taken by Kenny "Sky" Walker
You need to make a part 2 of this
How did you fail to mention "His Airness"????
Because it's self-explanatory?
Maybe he doesn't like the airness
Hanz Snow it’s a pretty clear explanation of why Jordan’s nickname is “his airness”😂
For Kobe I was like Frobe or the black mamba?! Love your content
Mike you forgot to say how Brian Scalabrine got his nickname as G.O.A.T

Magic highlights are so magical that I am teary-eyed watching...
@Mike Korzemba love your content
Ok hold on.... How do you not have 1 mil subs already?! Your awesome
Lol We'll get there hopefully! And thanks for the support!
Why doesn't he have 2 mill by now???
Look not many people like nba legends, history
No Brian scalabrine, aka the white mamba...ok
this channel is addicting
Could easily do a part 2 of this. Ice Man, Rain Man, Big Diesel, Mailman, The Worm etc.
video idea- Who would win in a game a team of the worst nba hall of famers beat the 95-96 bulls?
hall of famers because even the worst one are still hofs
96 Bulls easily. People overestimate what it takes to get into the HoF
95-96 bulls have three HOFs (at least) and a HOF Coach
great video
Thanks Tim!
Duhsjsjs
I thought for the longest time when I was a kid, that Magic was his actual name
Magic has the best nick name so much so you forget his real first name isn’t Magic sometimes but Irvin
"The Truth" is my favorite.
You forgot the best nickname. KD= KeWin DurGOAT
