The first time I saw Magic's videos it was amazing everything I could do, especially in transition, I think the beginning of the Showtime in Los Angeles started with Johnson, it was another level to enjoy the Lakers with Magic driving and their amazing creativity with the ball.
In seconds he would look to one side and pass to the other, the timing he had to make these amazing passes was very natural, he had the instinct of a great passer with more than 2 meters in height, it was not typical to see a player of that size dominate so skillfully the base position.
Johnson with his magic led the Lakers to 5 NBA Champion titles. His nickname in the world of basketball has surpassed his own first name, Magic. The undisputed owner of such a nickname is Earvin Johnson Jr.
Magic was the way to link a player with the ability to do things that are at another level of play, something that is only within the reach of the imagination of others because what he could do on a basketball court was special, it was simply magical.
Magic Johnson was 3 times an NBA MVP and is one of the most legendary players in the league and worldwide.
Along with Michael Jordan's name in the Magic Johnson era was the other name I used to hear with much emphasis in my adolescence, along with the also renowned Celtics player Larry Bird, was a special time when these players left their skin on the court with a talent that transcended and gave a mystique to the NBA in those years that even with the passage of time leave a mark intact in history and in our memories.
Even with all the difficulties of his illness, Earvin Magic Johnson knew how to reinvent himself and then be extremely successful in basketball, after his retirement he has taken his success to business, touching the finances with his characteristic magic as he did in the NBA in every game.
This is one of the creative legends of all basketball and especially of the NBA.
