Magic Johnson (31pts/8rebs/17asts) vs. Spurs (1983 Playoffs)

This recent uproar of new Jordan vs. LeBron talks (which I want no part of, by the way) has made me think about Magic. You look at his resume, acknowledge all of his accolades, man... We might just be forgetting how awesome his career was (something similar applies to KAJ, though, I guess center's have their own hypothetical comparisons and discussions) and possibly are downplaying the improbable career numbrs he could have had if he could have continued to play past 1990-91.
There's been only one other 31/8/17 game since 1982/83 in the post-season. That one also belongs to Magic Johnson. May 15, 1983.

Magic is the greatest

I'll always remember what Dick Enberg said during the 1992 All-Star game. "When you're great, you're great." And that aptly describes Magic to a T.
Greatness personified!

Great highlights. Super upload and excellent quality, too.

Been watching "showtime" series on Netflix and ever since been watching a lot of early lakers games... 👍 🏀

[@mja91352]

LeBron vs. Jordan is a meaningless debate, on so many levels. If you want to see basketball, look at to Magic's Lakers.

fantastic magic

[@ryanperkinsjr9516]

The pass @ 3:35 is proof of why he is the greatest passer ever

[@fortynights1513]

He averaged a triple double in this series and I never see anyone bringing it up

23 year old Magic and 37 year old Kareem

Lakers had some really good players most were drafted by the Lakers like 22nd overall pick Norm Nixon Michael Cooper Mr. Defense , 3rd round 60th pick, Rambis I thought they drafted but the Knicks drafted him 3rd round, 58th overall pick he was released never played for them played in Greece Lakers found him became a great role player.

Loved how George Gervin's All-World, monolithic, non-effort, play-five-feet-off defensive posture harassed Magic during this game.

[@CharifRocka]

😂 first thing I noticed.
No pressure on the ball AT ALL.

[@cs292]

@@CharifRockait’s like Ice said. “they paid people to stop me.”

[@DetroitLove4U]

The audio is ubiquitously flowing but good clip.

[@hugefan-tb8ou]

Magic had a Basketball Jones.

Would you have the whole game?
