      I think his stint as GM of the Lakers has tarnished his reputation somewhat undeservedly. Most people who have grown up watching the current generation of NBA players don't fully appreciate just how good Magic was as a point guard. He was essentially Ben Simmons x10. I believe that if he had not had the tragedy that unfurled in the early 90s, then the Bulls would have been seriously challenged during their first three peat.

I was lucky enough to have been born in late 70's to have watched them all during their prime, and with all honesty, I'm missin them and the league of yesterday whenever I watch the NBA of today. I'm hoping that someone, some teams will be able to bring that Golden Age of NBA back before I grow really older.

      strawsparky33 nothing has "cured" it. His advantage is that he apparently has a single copy of a mutated gene that gives him partial immunity to HIV. If he'd had two copies he'd have been fully immune, but with one he was unlucky to catch it in the first place but it meant that although meds weren't as good back then, they didn't need to be. So he survived long enough for medication to improve. That's why he's never been sick or looked remotely ill....he announced he'd caught it a couple of weeks before Freddie Mercury, who also had lots of money, died from AIDS. Freddie just didn't have the genetic anomaly and had probably caught it ten years earlier than Magic. Lots of rich people died...lots of normal, poor people lived and some were diagnosed years before Magic. Most will have been the same, with partial immunity.

      See your statement is sort of jumping to conclusions because you can replace Jordan with several different names (Bird, Chamberlain, Kareem, Stockton, Kobe, James etc...) which means Magic saying it about Jordan does not prove that there will never be another Jordan or that he is the greatest of all time.
      My point being, sure Jordan may be the GOAT but this story doesn't mean much when it comes to that argument. Great players are impressed by other great players all the time...probably an exaggerated story anyway.

    • @ndotlace
      @ndotlace 8 років тому +37

      +9419cmcc I disagree... what MJ could do is insane to inhuman levels. the story probably isn't exaggerated just because the average person overlooks how physically powerful athletes like Michael Jordan are. The chance of another curry is much higher than anyone who can compete with MJ. remember that he schooled the top high school players while he was in his mid 40s

      Wow, the brainwashing by the media, is complete. Magic kisses his ass because it is a league wide unwritten rule. The players who want to stay relevant and popular with the NBA and the players union have to pump up the legend of MJ. Any player that ever that ever slights MJ does not get hired on a major network or by the NBA. They will only get an "inside" job if they follow script. David Stern, an attorney, a billionaire attorney at that still has much political power. Stern, NBA, NBC, NIKE, etc make billions every year with the "Jordan Brand". John Salley was banned for almost 3 years because he said MJ was one of the best but not THE best. Dr. J has basically been wiped out from the mainstream because he said Kareem was the best. Dr. J. was as popular as MJ at one point many years ago. All the broadcasters, Van Gundy, Miller, Jackson etc kiss MJ's ass about 20x a a game for no reason other than his name brings in money. Every time they say his name, a cash register rings.

    Amazing story, MJ's obsession on winning is what made him the GOAT and his competitiveness is just on another level that no basketball player can ever match. Not only he beats them, but he dominates them, he plays as if he is saying to his opponents "bow down to your master"

Please count how many times he traveled. Please count how many times he palmed/carried the ball. Please count how many times the refs would mysteriously make a call that would favor the Bulls at the end of a game. Please count how many times he was credited with an assist when he clearly didn't deserve it.Please watch how it was Pippen who guarded the opposing team's best offensive player. Please watch how the games broadcast by NBC clearly favor him and the Bulls as compared to other networks.

      No. Just watch for yourself. Fair is fair. Stern forced Earl Strom (head of the refs union) and a few other old time refs to retire because they couldn't be bought. The younger refs sold out (one of them went to jail for fixing games). He (Stern) forced the Pistons to release Mahorn and then he (Stern) signed a contract with NBC. Next thing you know MJ is being called the GOAT. That was NEVER said until this point in time. Low and behold MJ wins next 3 titles. He never won until then. Watch the games, he was enhanced and protected by the "shield" more than any player. MJ had severe ties to organized crime and gambling. That helped the Bulls win as well. PLEASE watch the games and read more about all of this stuff. Make up your OWN mind, don't be influenced by the media!
