Magic Johnson. The original NBA Superstars (VHS!) did more to make me love basketball than almost anything and Magic was the main reason. This is pure art
Akron highlights gonna look AI generated when kids see them 15-20 years from now. The speed he was moving at out there at 6โ9 during his FIRST prime is absolutely 1 of 1
think I might go Wemby here. Some people downplay the stuff he does because of his height, but for me, the combination of the things he's able to do because he's so tall and the things he can do despite being so tall make his highlights uniquely mind-blowing.
I see many kids working out like a PRO when theres no need for it right now. Hella dribbles, hella isolation stuff like your Luka or James harden at the top of the key. Aint nobody playing like that. Work on catch & shoot. Catch & drive. Catch & pass & get it back. It TRANSLATES!
To my eyes: Magic Johnson in transition offense is like a Basquiat painting, smooth traffic at the Arc da Triomphe, a jog along Lake Como.
Beauty. Personified. ๐
