Magic knows

inning is nothing
new to Earvin "Magic" Johnson.
He won a Michigan high school
state championship in 1977.
Johnson was the catalyst of a
Michigan State team that, with the
help of Jay Vincent and Greg Kelser,
won the national championship in
1979.
In his first season in the NBA
(1980) as a Los Angeles Laker, he
poured in 42 points and grabbed 17
rebounds — in Kareem Abdul-
Jabbar's absence — in the sixth and
final game of the 1980 championship
series. Proving his versatility, he
played all three positions.
Since that first amazing NBA
campaign, he has been compared
with none other than Larry Bird of
the Boston Celtics, statistically and
influentially.
Larry Bird was on the losing
Indiana State team that Johnson
helped beat in 1979, but Bird was the
Rookie of the Year in the NBA
during the same season Johnson's
Lakers won the title.
The comparisons go on and on.
Many say that Magic cries too
much about being fouled. But so do
Michael Jordan, Karl Malone and
Charles Barkley. The great ones
