How Magic Johnson destroyed teams without volume scoring | Greatest Peaks Ep. 5

You can do everything what you desires.

Magic was 6-9.😑

Magic was one of the most likable players of all time.

he may be avg. 15 to 20 ppg throughout his nba career, but if u add his apg w/c is min. of 5, he's like scoring 25 to 30 ppg avg. throughout his career

The greatest of all time

6'9"

"Doubling Johnson in the post" pause

Steph is not that number 1 he's high with that pot

Magic DEFINITELY the greatest transition player ever. Don’t know if they’ll ever be another that pushes the ball like Magic. It was just crazy. Full speed ahead and fearless. I was a Magic guy.

In current time it is crazy to see how guards where always his main defender. Now surely a wing would defend him. Altough the opposing guards still need to defend someone. Feels this is understaded in the video.

Pick your poison is between having a guard defending and let him basically unopposed pass or have a wing on him which needs to have enough speed and you need to defend someone else with your guards.

most basketball like MJ defeated other teams by scoring a lot and also playing crocodile like Kobe but Earving Johnson and his team defeated teams by him not scoring much but dishing much assist that his team mates scored a lot. but Magic also score a lot. When Magic have the ball his mind is seeking to pass the ball to the open man and only to shoot the ball when there is no open man to dish the ball.

You lost me at "Bird was a better pure passer"

I always thought if I was starting a ATG all star team I would pick Magic first as the cornerstone.

Yes Magic was❤!

Yes Magic was❤!

Magic is 6'9"

I'm asking this without any ulterior motive or angle: weren't the refs still calling palming back then, meaning a lot? I guess they already weren't, because.... And it really is a tough one... is the game better because of the limitless offensive possibilities it opened up, or would offense be savored more the rarer it is, like in soccer? Could even more eye popping stuff be created around such a limit? All I know is the only person I've seen palm it more is Steve Nash. What I'd like to know if any of y'all know, when was palming really first allowed?

Nah hes giannis but trade size and strength for speed and handling

Theres nothing more frustrating as a basketball player seeing that one guy scores straight away after your team made a basket.

Wilt. Period.

A lot of players playmaking relies on their scoring threat, magics scoring relied on his playmaking threat 😂😂

MAGIC JOHNSON has cemented his status as the NBA'S GREATEST PG 🐐

Magic 💜💛

Lakers fast break was so fresh

Excellent video family..... Real talk.Salute👊🏿

Goat offensive player is hands down lebron

He's not 6'8..Magic Johnson height is 6'9.

His stats are just the beginning. His energy and attitude made everyone around him better and extended KAJ's career. And he sold out stadiums. No better choice to build your franchise around.

you can learn everything you need to know about basketball offensively watching Larry bird and magic Johnson

Point Guard God indeed

Stop it, no better passer.

Please remove Garnett from that 4 dividrd screen of greats.

A lot of ppl think Magic was slow but at 6'9 he was very fast and quick it just looks slow due to his long strides
Also Magic chose not to play fast at certain times to control the pace of the game the same way Luka Doncic does as a playmaker
If Magic played in a league based on scoring more then defense then he'd be Luka

When one realizes that Basketball is a team sport, then Magic is the GOAT IMO. Yes his problematic knees plagued him for most of his career making it hard for him defensively especially towards the end of his career.

Luis Dunbar was also 6'9"!!!!

He could scored whenever he wanted too & dominated the game without scoring. Crazy!!!

Officially 6'9 at peak. He was 6'8 at Lansing Everett with a fro that made him seem taller. But with his assists and ability to take over a game, he was responsible for a lot of points. The baddest point guard of all time, one of the baddest players (Mt Rushmore) of all time.

"And there are no Bigs back to stop the Oversize Johnson" pauuuuuse 😭

Magic is my GOAT saw him in his day. I will always pick Magic no. 1 on the All time list.

He’s 6’9😒

Oversized Johnson has two meanings.

Magic Johnson was a one of a kind point guard and DEFINITELY NOT a Transformational player. To this day there are Zero 6'9" EVERY POSESSION point guards.

Coast to Coast! Goat.
