  • earvin magic jhonson the best

  • thumbs up if you thought isiah thomas' ball handling was amazing against magic

  • All the players were uptight until Zeke drove into the Key the ball hoovering UNDER his hand did the Ali Shuffle and as all the other allstar players froze I MEAN FROZE because Zeke put a globetrotter move on them until then it was dull. That was Zekes call to comon let's put on a show . AFTER THAT IT WAS Show time

  • Did you see that? Lebron Travelled!

  • "...but Michael is the greatest ever — point blank." ~ Magic Johnson

  • @adihellboy just type nate robinson u will a 5 foot dunk

    c- yao ming

  • @leepipesateneo

    Yao Ming? Overrated! Rik Smits, Vlade Divac, Arvidas Sabonis, Mark Eaton and Bill Laimbeer are better. I prefer Sabonis.

  • @dralger totally agree with you but yao could have been great. just a personal preference. more for moral support than anything else. how often do you see an asian playing in the nba? :D

  • @dralger agreed.

  • @dralger r u kidding me?! Yao Ming is better than all those guys u named combined. All those guys are one-time all-stars except laimbeer(who only got all-stars and looked good becuz he had isiah, dumars, rodman, aguirre, etc) None of the players you named were even close to being in the top 5 center of their era while Yao was arguably the second(sometimes best) center of his era. He might be alittle overrated due his all-star voting but still the best non white center of the modern era

  • @samtheman7975 - Dude Yao has nothing on Sabonis. If you think Sabonis was rubbish, watching him in the NBA is like saying Yao isn't any good right now... of course he is not, he has not feet or knees. But in their prime both were very good. The difference is, Yao in his prime is top 20 all time maybe, Sabonis is top 5.

  • @duffmanbegins sabonis a top 5 center? are u high? so then ur saying sabonis is better than ewing, robinson, mcadoo, moses malone, walton, parish, sampson, wes unseld, willis reed assuming ur top 5 centers are hakeem, kareem, wilt, russell, and shaq

  • @samtheman7975 Sabonis in his prime would have demolished the NBA.

    He would easily have been known as one of the best players, let alone centers. When he got to the NBA he had no knees due to his days playing in Russia and still dominated.

  • @samtheman7975 - Yes he was easily better than all of those guys. Remember he DESTROYED Robinson in the olympics. And there would be an argument of him in his prime being better than Shaq in his prime, not as a pure offensive force of nature, but as an overall player and triple double machine.

  • @leepipesateneo For center I'd take George Mikan.

  • @leepipesateneo - I'd take Stockton over Nash purely for defence (though I love Nash), and McHale over Dirk as he is grittier, grabs more boards, and is the best post player to ever live.

  • @leepipesateneo - As for Yao, he is good, no doubt, but Sabonis in a perfect world (read not 32 in his rookie season after the Soviets rode his legs into the dust) would have been top 5 centres all time. He destroyed Robinson in the olympics, MVP Robinson, and Divac who played against the great centres, and Sabonis in his prime, said Sabonis was the best he ever saw. The guy could pass, had handles, could shoot threes and long mid range, had an incredible post game, was super strong and 7'2".

  • Watch Magic Johnson's Michigan State 2010 Graduation Speech here:

    /watch?v=0OsFObRwQkc

  • @D0WNGOESFRAZIER they could just list him as a center. he could dunk on anyone anyways. probably get less then mediocre production. stil...

  • @D0WNGOESFRAZIER naw you trippin......mj defensive skills wouldve turned the moajority of big men into babies LOL!

  • @BiggerThanTheDevil88 I agree 100 % Very smart lineup on your part sir

  • Thats crazzy he didn't even play that season not even 1 single game and yet he made it to the All-Star Game even though that fucken cool it should be allowed because he didn't play that season why should he be allowed to be a 1992 All-Star when he didn't play in 1992 thats wrong and breaks all the rules.

  • @IvanRod182 cause the fans get to vote the starters in. no rules were broken. in order to

  • @cdawg43o I know that but it really sucks that 1 player missed out of being an All-Star that year when he probably deserved it. And I'm surprised Magic would actually play because he's such a nice guy I would of expected him to say no I don't even play anymore let some one else who deserves to be there play. I mean it really sucks because he was not an All-Star in 1992 because he didn't even play 1 game. I wish NBA didn't even put his name in the voting sheet thing or whatever. So Wrong.

  • @IvanRod182 yeah i know what you mean. it must have devastated whoever was runner-up to start guard that year. But i still think it was cool because Magic didn't really have a sweet twilight season. He was kinda forced to retire because of HIV, so this was basically the final "thank you" for all the great memories he gave us. Plus, it really helped raise HIV-awareness, so it was really beneficial on a nation-wide, if not global, scale. I don't know. Magic ended up winning MVP so it seems right.

  • pangit

    

  • thats when NBA players where about the game and not the bling bling!

  • Thanks Magic...

  • Thomas and Jordan got OWNED by a 12 year veteran.

  • @ElTuco84 isiah was a veteran too at this time

  • @ElTuco84

    Thomas was no young guy either at the time.

  • What game is this? What year?

  • @tatomuck18 : It was 1992. The all star game. Magic didn't play that year in the regular league, after announcing that he has HIV. But he was still voted to the all-star game, and played very good. He was chosen MVP of the game.

    What a great player he was.

  • que tiempo de grandisimo baloncesto...nostalgia del mejor baloncesto de la historia

  • I heard magic doesnt have HIV anymore weird .

  • @guanaco103 I've heard that there are some stupid people writing in YouTube. You're NOT one of them

  • @guanaco103 yeah i think you should do some research on the (keyword) VIRUS. i don't believe people have found a cure yet, because i'm pretty sure it would be HUGE NEWS.

  • @cdawg43o not a cure, but i have heard that he can now pass negative on an HIV test. with good treatment, the count can get so low that its no longer detectable. doesn't mean its not there though

  • true champ

  • The greatest basketball player of all time!!

  • Hahahahahahahaha, MIGUEL YHORDAN!

  • @xxwhatevahxx lmao

  • With all that said, I don't think even Jordan could've stopped Magic from executing. I think Magic can get 20 and 15 and a win on any team and anybody. He had deep teams, but he also beat deep teams. 'Nuff said, cheers to Magic.

  • "Magic is head-and-shoulders above everybody else," Larry Bird once observed in the Chicago Sun-Times. "I've never seen [anybody] as good as him."

    Magic's career stats:

    906 Games

    52% FG

    85% FT

    7.2 RPG

    11.2 APG

    19.5 PPG

  • You mean Jordan all day..Better offensive player much better defender and Imagine if Jordan had jabbar worthy wilkes nixon cooper worthy and so one..Jordan won with a 6'7 sf...Jordan is the GOAT...Magic Charles Horry Kenny smith Danny ainge And 95 percent of the B ball world Jordan is the GOAT...Magic is top 3..

  • Magic in his prime vs Jordan in his prime = MAGIC ALL DAY!!

  • MIGUEL YORDAN!

  • El mejor momento en NBA History. No doubt.

  • Tragic Johnson backstabbed Isiah.

    Never trust a Faker

  • how?

  • are u talking abt the Dream Team fiasco? yeah i haven't read the book myself so i wonder why Magic did that...

  • jordan did that cuzz isiah was telling ppl not to pass mike the ball

  • @beatcavs09 backstabbed him? Are you talking about not reccomending him for another nba job? Thats business for you which is why people should wonder if the officiating is legit. It makes good business sense to have the teams with the most popular players win.

  • magic is the magic

  • magic could play all the 5 positions, MJ couldnt, for many people Magic is the GOAT and i agree with em

  • goat?

  • GOAT (Greatest of All Time)

  • @MrCARC Well as a lakers fan thats been watching them since the late 80s I'd have to agree. Lakers didn't have the better team in 91, they were pretty much on Magics back. Jordan had Pippen, Horrace Grant, and others.

  • @MrCARC

    Being able to play all 5 positions doesn't make you the GOAT.

  • @MrCARC mj could PLAY ALL positions! he could post better then anyone.....so he was able to be center.......and he definetly had enough to court vision and leadership to be point guard along with ball handles....he played sg....and he was able also able to show AND GRAB REBOUNDS in the same game.....so he could have played small forward....and like i said he was the best in the post and could always drive and fly to the rim but when he had to score...HE ALWAYS DID...he couldve played PF TOO!

  • Wow, are you on fucking crack? Magic had Kareem, Worthy, AC Green, Byron Scott, Michael Cooper, Sam Perkins, etc. Get fucking real dude

  • @zodiiak Your naming these names like they were better than average players without magic. Where do you think they got thier numbers? Magics passing, creating lanes, etc.

  • @zodiiak

    To be fair, the Celtics were about as equal if not deeper than the Lakers back then with Larry Bird, Kevin Mchale, Robert Parish, Dennis Johnson, Cedric Maxwell, Tiny Archibald, and Bill Walton.

  • bird jordan and magic three guys that could talk trash and back it up

  • magic is the best! look

  • Man, don't you miss those Magic vs Bird years?

  • yes

  • Is this the All Star Game where Magic came back after knowing he had HIV?

  • nice three magic!

  • I still remember sitting at home watching this game. Probably one of the most emotional and energetic all star games in NBA history.

  • Magic magic magic!!!!!!

  • el mejor momento en la historia del basket ,,,

    varon!!!

  • the best game ever...

  • Magic is my all-time favorite basketball player. I remember seeing this game. This vid definitely represents Magic: a winner.

  • A winner on and off the court! A true ambassador in the game of basketball and life...He has risen to be a great Man and leader! Yours was an excellent comment..

  • Why does everyone say Kobe would've done bad without Shaq? They each needed one another equally. Shaq would not have won in Miami if D Wade didn't completely take over the Finals.

  • Equally? You must be out of your mind. Shaq was more important to that team than Kobe was, and only a Laker/Kobe fan would say otherwise.

  • This is THE SHOW...

  • Majic was the best player every but i gurantee some1 else will come and be the best player every

  • 1.MJ

    2.Larry Bird

    3.Bill Russel

  • whats this list? why is larry bird #2 lol

  • what do you mean? hes the best shooter in nba history

  • rofl @ you listing Russell. He's not even the best Center of his own era, much less a top 3 at any position.

  • Why does every NBA video end in Kobe vs. Jordan? I mean neither one of those two guys are featured this video (well you see the back of Jordan). There is no rational argument for Kobe being better. People from LA shut the fuck up. He's good. He's not that good. Jordan was always the driving force of a dominating team, an unquestioned finals MVP six times. Kobe wouldn't have done shit without Shaq. So get over it. As for here: I love Magic and Thomas, though talented, is a little bitch.

  • ur 100% right. kobe wouldn't of done shit without shaq.

  • MJ wouldn't have won 6 without scottie... and rodman was pretty helpful when he arrived.

  • ur 100% right, & i don't want 2 discreadit pip on anything he did cuz he did help out the Bulls alot, but there was this video on youtube (which fucken youtube had 2 remove) where ron harper says " i wish ppl could have seen how hard those 2 would go @ each other MJ is the reason pippen became such a great defender & the player he was". there's also this video called "michael jordan taught scottie pippen how to play like him" listen 2 what phil has 2 say about the influence of mj on pippen.

  • u say ure not trying to take anything away from pippen but you re doing it. ""MJ is the reason pippen became such a great defender & the player he was"" HAHAHAHAHAHAHA that shit about sucking on jordans dick must stop, i dont see any video on youtube where ppl suck on magic or bird balls or any other legend, but it actually happens in almost every video of magic, chamberlain, etc. some dickheads bring up the jordan issue. its so annoying

  • learn 2 read dummy....i didn't say that, RON HARPER a teammate of theirs said that, plus do a reserch of that other video i mentioned called "michael jordan taught scottie pippen how to play like him".....but like i mentioned in the other comment phil also said that pip would teach jordan this base line move that jordan always liked...the video where i got the ron harper quote got removed by youtube but it was harper getting interviewed by NBA tv's rick kamla.

  • again i don't want 2 take anything away from scottie, cuz he also showed mj a few tricks. there's this video (which i can't find anymore & 4got what it's called) where phil says he would b in his office & he could see out his window @ the gym where they would have practice & there was this base line move that pip had mastered & mj all ways like that move so during practice pip would b teaching mj that move. so they learned from each other.

  • yea.....and magic wouldn't have won without the showtime lakers either. whats your point?

  • Yeah that is the point... its all about team work. Yeah sure each winning team has their stars but i cant really name a team that only featured one AMAZING player... Maybe like 50 years ago when the game wasnt as intense.

  • Magic was a sick balla, well he does have the hiv! lame I know

  • magic was a beast winning without kareem and playing center, getting MVP now that's a stud

  • Yeah that was a great one game performance but they wouldnt have been anywhere close to the finals without Jabbar. Magic was the MVP of game 6 but Jabbar dominated the first 5 games and shouldve been awarded the MVP for the series. Magic actually set a record for turnovers in that series.

    I love Magic and he is one of the greatest ever but he didnt deserve that trophy.

  • That all being said, I respect Kobe and feel bad that so many LA and new basketball fans compare him to Jordan. He is a great player, and as he said, Jordan is GOAT.

  • Kobe and Jordan may be lower than these guys, but they are SG's and shoot from the outside. They are both incredibly talented, but who is more efficient?

    Jordan's top 3 seasons were .539 31.5 pts, .538 32.5, .535 35.0 with hand-checking allowed, Kobe? .477 and .469 top 2 seasons % with 25 pts a game. His highest scoring season 35.4 with .450 percentage. He also had one of the best centers to play the game, and MUCH better centers than Jordan for shots..and Jordan's defense? heh.nuff said

  • Of course the last few years of someone's career really shapes their reputation, so I am sure that Kobe will be known as "another one of the greats" when he retires rather than someone in even the top five.

    lets see here, excluding rookie and retirement/comeback years, stats - Barkley averaged 24 pts, 1 block, 4.2 asts, 12 rebounds, with .570 fg percentage! Shaq was around .580 himself (of course he's huge) with insane rebounds/blocks etc and 25 a game, Malone around .550

  • Because kobe fans are such stubborn ignorant morons. There's a reason that LA and Kobe were voted by far the most hated team/players. Guys, I understand you're all pro LA.... so why not Magic? He was much better than Kobe. Heck, I'd rank several players all-around better than Kobe from the 90's alone, including Olajuwan, Barkley, Stockton, Shaq, and in his prime, Penny Hardaway. And of course there's Bird and Magic.

  • I might agree with you up to Penny Hardaway. Penny Hardaway was good, he was never great. That dude was way overrated. Shaq made Penny look far better than he ever actually was. It's absurd to suggest that Penny (pick any 'prime' you want) was better than Kobe. Kobe may not be Jordan good or Olajuwan good, but he's at least better than Penny Hardaway good. If you want overrated has beens why not say that Damon Stoudamire was better. That would be equally silly.

  • man all vids on nba eventually wind up going to jordan vs kobe wars... so much anger yo.

  • i have to say thank you to ksk0516ksk.

    i have been looking for footage of this game, specifically, this moment.

    its was magics last all star game before he was forced into retirement from HIV. at the time, everyone thought he would of easily had a few more years in him, but he had to go.

    and the fact that the other players didnt mind jordan, isiah n magic play around one last time was awesome.

    ONE OF THE BEST MOMENTS IN THE NBA.

    EVER.

    PERIOD.

    PS - fuck kobe, keep shit relevant.

  • the best player ever

  • who?

  • best player ever.

  • btw Magic owned both MJ and Thomas in this video!!!

  • Damn man isn't this supposed to be about Majic? I'm a Kobe fan which makes me feel kinda good when in almost every basketball video in majority of the posts, his name comes out even when he's not in the video. Oh well with greatness comes the hatred, point is you always respect the elders of the game. So Kobe is great, but MJ came before, so did Bird, Magic, West, Wilt, Kareem, Russel, etc. so give them their respect. Bottom line. Kobe will have his day.

  • magic was truly amazing

  • Kobe's an A+ one-on-one defender, scorer, and clutch performer. There's no disputing that. His weakside/help defense, IN MY OPINION is decent at best. It was most evident in the Finals when he sagged nearly 6 feet off Rondo but his double teams on post entry passes were minimally effective.

    Kobe is still arguably the greatest perimeter player in the league. However, his few weaknesses - like LBJ23 in the 07 Finals - were exposed. That's all I'm saying. And people PLEASE STOP WITH THE EXCUSES!

  • kobe is good..but he needs a semi caliber player to win a championship. Jordan, on the other hand is the best player that ever lived. He needs just a role player to be able to win a championship...

  • jordan had pippen,and perhaps the greatest rebounder of all time on his team,that i 2 good players,but Jordan is the best,no matter what!!!

  • KOBE-SLURPERS: How'n the hell are Fisher, Vujacic, Walton, and Turiaf NOT role players? Why does KB24 get aaalll the credit for "carrying" his team to the finals when both Gasol and Odom were playing exceptionally well before they met Pierce and co?

    The jury's still out on KB24s' legacy but DON'T blame the Lakers' flop on everyone but him! KB24 doesn't see the floor as well as LBJ or Dwade and he's a terrible help defender!

  • kobe is a very good defender in all forms its displayed on the court

  • THE MAGIC MAN > JORDAN, ISIAH

  • That's a really good point kjsellers. People do forget when Scottie came back with the Blazers. He did suck! And yes Jordan won with a lot of bench players but where was he FROM 1984 TO 1990? THOSE BENCH PLAYERS MUST'VE BEEN WORSE HUH? Or dare I say Jordan couldn't win without his bench.

  • Where was he? Was he supposed to win a Championship every year he played in the NBA? He was getting to the Eastern Conference Finals against the more experienced and eventual NBA Champion Detroit Pistons. To answer your question is bench players we pure shit from his rookie year until about 88. Jordan is God but even God needs someone who can make a layup on his team. Jordan won 6 titles with less talent than any other team in history. Pippen, Kukoc, Grant and the rest were all exposed w/out him

  • he practiced with the bench.

  • Gasol isn't a roleplayer. He is soft and slow. Odom is a roleplayer.

  • whose the white guy who dunked at 38

  • That would be Thunder Dan Majerle.

  • Kobe Bryant may be the greatest player of all time. He's not right now. But someday he may be. Jordan had about 4-5 role players every year. Magic had about three. Bird three. Kobe has none. Unless one of you considers Lamar........Odom a role player. Kobe got within two games of a championship by himself. Who got to the finals by themselves but Kobe Bean Bryant?

  • Gasol isn't a role player?...But to answer your question: NO ONE has gotten to an nba championship by themselves, the game has always been 5 on 5...LeBron was the closest to do it last year though...IMO

  • but if they were to lose kobe they wouldnt have got to the finals but they are going to do even better next season because a.bynum is back woo

  • what are you talking about. at 19 you didnt even witness johnson or jordan on the court.(sarcasm).kobe ehmm when lakers got gasol they were all of a sudden contenders. role players? gasol is slow and soft now..yeah he played soft. but you are tripping boy. no disrespect. lebron james carried a team. not kobe. kobe didnt even pass the 1st round till they got him help (gasol). lbj's stats are far superior to kobes were at that age. kobes a great player but no champion would fold like kobe did.

  • kobe went to the first round with nothing. lame ass. kobe hasn't played with an all star since _ _ _ _ _ _?? you remember? he practiced with rookies and scrubs and made it a finals team. can you take a team to the first round?

  • yeah kobe made it to 1st round and year after year he was gone until recently when they had gasol and even then the way celts played defense and had that lead kobe folded, dang they even folded with the pistons the final game at the end of 2nd. thats not a character of a warrior or champ. and can i take a team 2 the 1st round NOT ME but PIPPEN took the bulls further w/o jordan then Kobe had. so compare KOBE 2 PIPPEN because he cant even be mentioned with jordan in the same breath kid.

  • did i mention kobe in the same breath as jordan. NOT ME. your just a hater. bringing up jordan?? why. your just finding reasons to put kobe down. your a lame person. go to sleep.

  • haha your so funny when the video has nothing to do with kobe your sitting their on your knees praising him, perhaps you loved being his victim and now sleep is word running through your mind and thats ok you must me sore.

  • you were talking about kobe. and i backed him up. and what? you don't even make sense. go to sleep already. you talk in jibberish.

  • whatever victim. kobe stinks he folded does it hurt yeah i bet it does. because the last 2times you and your foolish lakers played in the final games you were blown out.oh wait and didnt you beat the record for largest margin of defeat. what did kobe do nothing. BOOHOO mr george brazil go fix some pipes plumber boy.

  • does it hurt? na the nba is fixed. i remember when hulk hogan beat seargant slaughter. i was pissed. i wanted slaughter to win. but as i grew up i realized its all fixed. just like the nba. i can't be mad in TRANQUILO. 2008 celtics were and always be remembered as the team that saved cough i mean revealed the nba. somebody pulled the blanket all the way off. oops. all black team. all white fans. all white cheer leaders. yeah somebody realized BOSTON IS A GOOD MARKETING TOOL.(RED SOX MEMORABILIA)

  • lol your funny so now all of a sudden the three-peat lakers did seems like a fix too.

  • na of course not. im just a victim of marketing. like wwf.

  • Teamelo you are absolutely right. But I don't think Jordan would have won any without Pippen, Harper, Rodman,Kukoc, Longley and Kerr.

  • No shit dumb ass. Was he supposed to play 1 on 5? Would Pippen, Harper, Rodman, Kukoc, Longley, or Kerr have won without him? Um NO! But would Jordan have won if you subsituted 5 other players for the guys you named? YES, he did...their names were Grant, Paxson, Cartwright, Armstrong, and Purdue. Jordan made those guys look good not the other way around. Look at what a piece of shit Pippen was without Jordan.

  • are you serious you imbecile? do you mean the Pippen that brought the bulls deep into the playoffs when Jordan retired for the first time? Something Jordan could never do when Pippen was not around? way to be an ignorant piece of shit lol.

  • Deep in the playoffs? They lost in the second round...wow! That is deep. Jordan only played without Pippen for 1 full season and lost to the best team in basketball in the playoffs after turning the 3rd worst team in basketball around into a playoff team his rookie year...oh and by the way he scored 63 points in one of those playoff games. So how exactly did Pippen bring the Bulls "Deep" into the playoffs? Oh you mean when Toni Kukoc hit that buzzer beater while Pippen's bitchass was sitting.

  • Come on you fuck. I am still waiting for an answer from the guy who called me an ignorant piece of shit after claiming that Pippen took the Bulls deep into the playoffs. I went to more Bulls games in the 90's than you have ever seen on ESPN Classic. So it is good that you have shut the fuck up like the little bitch you are. You don't know shit.

  • Lol stupid bitch, Pippen took the bulls deep into the playoffs as in BELOW THE SURFACE, second round and 7 games in that second round which would have meant 3rd round if the refs hadnt robbed the bulls, you pathetic piece of shit cant even understand what deep means, so obviously i have nothing to argue with you, Pippen took the bulls WAY DEEPER into the playoffs without Jordan than Jordan without Pippen, so i stand correct you piece of shit, I just blocked you now btw, lmao.

  • jordan is the main man in the bulls era. Pippen is the second main man. it means without the main man..you can never win championships. During lakers time, shaq is the main man and kobe is the second man...so without shaq.. No way in hell lakers can win championships.. you have to understand that my friend

  • Isiah Thomas sucks,one time he tried to "freeze-out" MJ by not passing him the ball because he wants to get everybody's attention.FU Thomas ....let's go jordan

  • el final soñado =D

  • wooow

    what an amazing match

    look for Rudy on DKV Juventut is an basketball spanish player i love it

  • One of the greatest moments in NBA history.

    It was like a storybook ending with Magic getting the MVP after the tragic AIDS discovery.
