Is it me, or is Magic a better spoken guy in this video than he is presently? He's super eloquent and sharp on this one, sounding like an attorney almost.
There may come another basketball genius as great as the incredible Magic Johnson in my lifetime, but there will never be another play-by-play announcer in the same talent universe as the legendary Chick Hearn.
You can't find a player or announcer that doesn't regularly use his "Chickisms."
