Magic Johnson

Intro Earvin Johnson is considered arguably the greatest passer in nba history. Mainly known for his no look passes, and sometimes behind the back no look passes. Magic could also play any position on the basketball court from point guard, shooting guard, power forward, small forward and center. He mainly played point guard throughout most of his career. Nicknamed "Magic" because of his prolific passes to generate an up tempo offense that was uncommon in the nba. This would later give the Los Angeles Lakers the nickname "showtime Lakers." Magic Johnson was very charismatic off the court in interviews, but on the court? He could trash talk with the best of them. Magic won a national championship with Michigan State in college, and he would go on to win multiple championships in the nba with various appearances in the nba finals during the 1980s. He's a former Olympic champion from the 1990s original dream team. Forced into retirement because of his HIV positive status.
