Legends profile: Magic Johnson

NBA

He was what Bob Cousy was to the 1950s, what Oscar Robertson was to the 1960s, what Julius Erving was to the 1970s. Still, Earvin Johnson was even more than a revolutionary player, who, at 6-foot-9, was the tallest point guard in NBA history when he entered the league. His sublime talent elicited wonder and admiration from even the most casual basketball fan. Whether it was a behind-the-back pass to a streaking James Worthy, a half-court swish at the buzzer or a smile that illuminated an arena, everyone who saw Johnson play took with them an indelible memory of what they had witnessed.

He was (born 1959). American professional basketball player Magic Johnson led the Los Angeles Lakers to five National Basketball Association (NBA) championships. He was a dangerous scorer from anywhere on the court and a capable rebounder, averaging 19.5 points and 7.2 rebounds per game over his 13-year career. However, Johnson was best known for innovative no-look and bounce passes and a knack for making big plays in the clutch. The sports world was stunned on November 7, 1991, when Johnson announced his immediate retirement from professional basketball because he was infected with the virus that causes AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome).
