Just wanted to boggle slack-jawed at Magic Johnson... Someone over at the RealGM boards posted a link to a video...

This is all about the Lakers of the '86-'87 title team but it has a damned lot of Magic doing terrible, TERRIBLE things to people. Sometimes if you haven't seen something for a while, you forget a little. Holy mother of freaking God.

Lebron has NOTHING on that man's passing skills. One can draw a comparison but Lebron is a pale shadow of Magic Johnson...

A moment of respect for Magic...

haha... thanks for ur reflection.... and thx for the link bro!

LeBron still has the time to develop his passing skills and besides he plays more of a scoring role.

Having said that, Magic was absolutely amazing.....an 80ft bounce pass is a hard thing to do.

Damn...
Those little shovel passes from the waist were the shit.

Nice video, bad music but it adds to the 80's, lol. Gotta love those no looks and bounce passes by Magic! There's a lot of one handed James Worthy and Byron Scott dunks :shock:

Thanks, man. I post mostly at the RealGM.com boards, where I do articles and such for various teams and the WireTap, so I always forget about these boards (:oops:), heh.

I'll try to come more often.

Traveling is rarely called; ever seen Steve Francis dunk from halfcourt?

It's great; he takes seven running steps and then dunks. I wish someone would hit him really hard...

One of my highlights of the Olympics was looking at the faces of USA players after they take 5 steps, throw down a flashy dunk, beat their chests and then get called for travelling by some referee who actually knew the rules :lol:
