Magic Johnson Starts at Center in 1980 NBA Finals

[teegotmuscle]

Magic Johnson was to basketball what sly stone was to the funk.

[samtheman7975]

Magic can play all five positions

[LeatherBootz]

theyre gonna end the lockout because people disliked a you tube video? that totally makes sense

[Petawawa8]

If you guys have to dislike an NBA video, at least make it a recent top ten or something. Magic has nothing to do with the lockout, and this performance was legendary

[sumskater999]

I cried when I saw Magic close out that game and the championship.

[Lava100100]

he can play any position....is he even a human?

[melyndaknopp9168]

NBA, this video reminds me of why I commenced to watch basketball. as well as the many bloopers. If you can't dunk yet, you GOTTA start by practicing. I highly recommend you have a go with the one I'm using - 50-inch-vertical(dot)com - I am 5'8 but I can certainly dunk!

[firedrago615]

why are idiots disliking the video? the lookout has nothing to do with this video

[Candido3202472]

Tap that ass!

[muaythaiboxer101]

If you look closely ,LeBron Travelled.

[singhisking853]

@muaythaiboxer101 If you look closely, you're a retard. Actually, you don't even have to look closely at all to see that.

[muaythaiboxer101]

@singhisking853 Its a Joke... Damn you are an idiot..

[singhisking853]

@muaythaiboxer101 A stupid joke at that.

[muaythaiboxer101]

@singhisking853 shut up... we all know LeBron Travels.

[muaythaiboxer101]

@singhisking853 why are you watching anywayz... Go play Cricket like your ppl. preety shure yu never played ball in yo life.

[singhisking853]

@muaythaiboxer101 LOL racist prick is racist. I bet you can't even make a god damn layup. Go back to Vietnam you fuckin chink, and open your eyes as well.

[imnotftw18]

@muaythaiboxer101 how did lebron travel in 1980? fuck off these jokes are not funny and they never were nor will they ever be.

[LosAngelesLakers32]

One of my favorite NBA players of all-time.

[lucasdalas]

MUITO LOKOOOOOOOOOO BRASIL

Magic Johnson E O MELHOR

[DZG]

low movement, lame dribbling

[MegaPhonebooth]

Michael Jordan is actually 6 foot 4 and a 3 quarters when he was officially measured at the olympics

[benjiiverson3]

guys y u disliking its less money the nba makes and more time the lockout stays

[CaptPrice274]

Magic, Larry, and MJ are great players we can never forget and now all of you are insulting them by disliking and shit who cares!... these videos have nothing to do with the fact david stern started the lockout! so just stop crying you pussies

[lbj6mj23]

dislike the stern press conference man its great history you young crack heads go teach your self history

[TexansCavaliers]

Earving Magic Johnson, amazing..

[manski365]

Now if you look closely, Lebron Traveled

[1997raptors]

NBA 2K12 The Lockout Edition.

[Oscarleet12]

If you see closely , Lebron was there on the bench

[imnotftw]

a 6' 9" center thats playing small.

[r0ck3ts11]

@imnotftw chuck hayes= 6'6" playing center lol.

[mosnaidei]

@r0ck3ts11 But he is probably the most underated defensive center in the league. He shut down KG so bad. Watch the video of KG trying to back him down and he just stays there like a brick wall.

[r0ck3ts11]

@mosnaidei yeah i saw that video already. hayes is a BEAST!!!!!!!! only yao can score on him lol

[agapogiako]

Scalabrine is the G.O.A.T.

[HectoxMan]

nice

[fnd2k7]

IF YOU RESPECT THE GAME :D CLICK IN THE LIKE BUTTON =D FUCK THE LOCKOUT, BUT THERES NO REASON TO DISLIKE --

[kb24TM]

can michael jordan play center forward and guard? i dont think so. magic is the all time great.

[imacodfanboyXD]

@kb24TM who has 6 rings?

[bigcritic69]

@imacodfanboyXD he could have had more rings if he wasent such a horny bastard

[kb24TM]

@imacodfanboyXD oh, bill Russell is the best ever, no doubt. rings my ass.

[8495627913]

@kb24TM not even.

[Figthugz]

@kb24TM you're clearly retarded

[lbj6mj23]

@kb24TM micheal is 6.4 and half magic was about 6.8 and half you kobetard and mj was guearding centers sometimes to

[kb24TM]

@lbj6mj23 man u cant even spell michael right, and mj was 6'6 not 6'4, magic was 6'9' not 6'8' u dumbass fuck.

[MegaPhonebooth]

@lbj6mj23 Where in the fuck did you learn English young man? It's titty fucking terrible! Even for God-damn internet standards!

[lbj6mj23]

@MegaPhonebooth

oo so you think every country back in the 90s teached english?you know what?chinga a tu madre, pendejo..................

[torotnota]

why would any of you dislike a magic johnson video? dont dislike this, if anything dislike the lockout video

[littlejay1994]

LETS DISLIKE EVERY NBA VIDEO UNTIL THE LOCKOUT IS OVER

[kuyo86]

@littlejay1994 thats just stupid and childish

[eminem542542]

@littlejay1994 sure that will bring the nba back

[MeaningOfBoss]

@littlejay1994 thats just dumb

[bossingkokey]

I've heard Disliking NBA videos is a trend now so I came and dislike em all ;)

[eaterofcandy]

Magic Johnson is one of the best things to ever happen to basketball and you dislike one of his greatest accomplishments because you're pissed the greedy players of today want more money? I LOVE IT WHEN PEOPLE ARE LOGICAL.

[speranzayaya]

picture a PG like rondo playing center

[FingerBoyify]

Un momento que chingada paso con los videos de NBA?

[samsam29]

@FingerBoyify parece que por la huelga no pueden poner videos de los jugadores activos

[Tamiksa22]

Wanna learn how to pull a baller like Kevin Durant and Rajon Rondo?? BallerAddict(com) , Yes it's real.

[shotbboy]

he was a rookie too wtf

[TheAlldayBeast]

there are 791 reasons why to wear a condom

[LeBronJamesFanVideos]

DISLIKE THIS VIDEO! because of LOCKOUT to show our anger!

[Alphanumeric69]

So what's up with all the old-time NBA videos all of a sudden?

[TheRedBull223]

@Alphanumeric69 since the lockout people have been disliking there videos so their showing old time videos so we can like it again or something

[ccyoungster11]

wow

[bradjeh]

People disliking one of the greatest performances in NBA history.

[MicheIleObama]

@bradjeh

It's not that people dislike Magic it's just that people are protesting the lockout by giving the videos a thumbs down .

[manuel34756353]

@bradjeh those dislikes are just sad

[1997raptors]

Magic Johnson is the biggest gem in NBA history and David Stern is the biggest fag in NBA history. LIKE IF YOU AGREE!

[JonnLennz]

@1997raptors Stern hasn't done anything wrong. He's been the best commissioner the league has seen. If the players are in the league to play basketball and leave a legacy, they wouldn't care as much about whether or not the average salary for an NBA player is 7 million dollars.

[akaurfear]

@JonnLennz You sir are a joke he hasnt been a good commisioner at all he has made the league soft and punishes big men

[ajsox23]

@1997raptors It is the players fault for this whole lockout. 22 out of the 30 teams are losing money and the players want more money. Get your fucking facts straight.

[TheAudioISDope]

@ajsox23 And Owners want to cut salaries worst then the NHL...

[Veyronp87]

@ajsox23

how are you so sure the teams are actually losing money? teams have full control over their financial statements and can twist it any way they want. i'm not saying i disagree with you but this dilemma is much more complicated than greedy players

[MCEntreri]

@ajsox23 It's hard to feal bad for the owners when the teams are almost always a thing on the side for fun for them. Keep in mind thoes huge bloated contracts that that are given to players are the owners decisions; they can choose to go down to or below the cap at any point in time.

[emericaclay1]

@1997raptors not stern....hes in it to make money....players already make enough as it is,,,,just greedy

[ball3rb0y]

holy shit..

magic should've keep the hair.

[samtech800]

wow it seems like People can't wait to watch Heat games LMFAO. but really u all want to watch Lebron and wade make amazing plays on the court.

[NBAPhantomCam]

I remember watching this when i was -19

[MW2Addiction]

If you look very closely, lebron traveled.

[Bumblebee7113]

@MW2Addiction shut the hell up, its getting old...did u not read my comment? this joke was funny half a year ago

[mosnaidei]

@Bumblebee7113 It was never funny.

[Bumblebee7113]

@mosnaidei true that

[Bumblebee7113]

oh and almost forgot...me/my mom/saturn has more rings than lebron

[rolandroiroi]

@Bumblebee7113 dont forget you have more rings than lebron, vince carter, iverson, nash, howard, magic johnson, charles barkley, and many more GREAT players. Just saying ^_^

[Bumblebee7113]

@rolandroiroi I was adding to my list of stupid comments...-_- haha

[rolandroiroi]

@Bumblebee7113 yup you should add your overused comment in your own list of stupid comments ^_^

[Bumblebee7113]

@rolandroiroi youtube doesn't allow it

[Bumblebee7113]

did you record this with a potato/calculator/spoon? bosh looks like a dinosaur. WHY ARE ALL THE VIDS GONE? whats a lockout? lebron traveled. if you look closely at (insert time frame) you can see (person) humping (person). press 3 repeatedly and watch him fly! lebron traveledSTAY IN THE KITCHEN!!! justin bieber has a small penis. type in "short guy dunks" to see a 5'5" guy dunk on a 10 ft hoop. did i mention that lebron traveled?

see? all ur garbage in one comment...this saves u all ur work

[polymer11235]

I'd like to lick his magic johnson

[MiggeX]

My coach talks about this all the time... This is the first time i see it

[TheMVP2020]

why yall disliking this video??

[BrotherSkillz]

thehell dislike this? 

[emir355]

dont hate here, this is something classic and pure gold. go hate on the press conference cause i know that that is whats bugging all of us

[Thegyptianone]

only magic can do something amazing like that. A FREAKIN POINT GUARD!!! derrick rose, chris paul, or dwayne wade can't do that today. only magic...

[gerrygadrumsee]

@Thegyptianone 1st d wade isnt a point guard. and allthough magic is the best pg ive ever seen play basketball, in fairness to rose and paul magic is 6ft 9in

[Thegyptianone]

@gerrygadrumsee i know d wayde is a shooting guard. i was just trying to make a point no guard can do what magic did

[RillMusik]

@Thegyptianone If Chris Paul was a 6'9'-6'10 point guard he could..scratch that, "would" do it, if not better.

[Thegyptianone]

@RillMusik but chris paul isn't and neither is magic johnson

[ShadowNightGamer]

@gerrygadrumsee J-Kidd and Stockton were nice too. J-Kidd & Magic are the Triple-Double kings in the NBA.

[gerrygadrumsee]

@ShadowNightGamer yeah they were great. no one could guard kidd or stockton ethier .oscar robertson was also a beast at geting triple doubles but kidd and magic had to do it in a tougher era of basketball

[rachitballer]

you can live through anything if magic made it!!!

[frankie1089]

I LIKE HOW NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT THE VIDEO

[hellrider505]

Old school Nba

[m3phisto666]

Fuck that, why are those assholes complaining about their salaries?

[bridmckin]

why is everyone talking about the lockout big deal you should be talking about the video 

[lbj6mj23]

@bridmckin

ye couse people can learn something about basketball and stoping idiots all those kobetards lebrontards rosetards and all of those i mean i am a james fan couse he is good very good but when some idiots say he is beter then mj i fall of my chair the same with kobe

[elitaren]

did magic play all position?

[imnotftw]

@elitaren yep. all except shooting guard really.

[savannah92able]

@elitaren If I remember reading he played all 5 for game 6. 

[BillORele]

The greatest rookie performance of all time. Really doubt it will ever be beaten.

[dsa2992]

ffs dislike the David Stern press conference, not this video!

[TheSTJ24]

@dsa2992 tell me about it... stupid stupid people. this is a classic moment in nba history and they dislike it because of the lockdown..

[ranqed100000]

Don't blame the NBA for the lockout, blame the players. The NBA is losing money yet the players want more. If they were to get the salary they wanted, the TOTAL profit made by the nba would be 80 million

[imnotftw]

@ranqed100000 a profit's a profit how can you complain at any profit?

[PSNxSTL10]

DISLIKE THE NBA's VIDEOS UNTIL THE NBA IS BACK!

[YazOfficial]

"He starts at center, plays forward and guard and leads the Los Angeles Lakers to the world championship without Kareem AbdulJabbar." that kind of rhymes lol

P.S Fuck the lockout!!! screw the nba for posting this in attempt to keep us entertained. We want our league back bitches!

[nathanieldukae]

wats the nba lock out about?

[xIRx3xZxZ]

fuck up haters

[basketballscientist]

Sure wish I had $8,000,000 to lose and still own a beach house smh

[pinoyawesome]

if magic played one more season in his comeback he would've played with kobe :(

[beartrapz916]

I understand there is a lockout but why does that mean the fans can't watch highlights?

[DanishVikings]

how can 713 dislike this!

[and1rew]

@DanishVikings i think the lockout thing they disliked not the video

[leeph]

the owners want more money so there is going to be a lockout. Nuff said

[n0x626]

they went too lockout cause the heat lost

[laclippers101]

Keep disliking all of the videos from the nba until the Lockout is OVER!

[blasterLA24]

kobe is fuckin' beast y'all',,,SWAG'

[STATiKoSHOKo]

@blasterLA24 Get off that niggas dick.

[murdaville100]

@STATiKoSHOKo LOL right this a Magic video

[blasterLA24]

@STATiKoSHOKo get da fuck out mah dick brah',,,-_-',,,0_o'

[ryan23rq]

damn greedy owners. 100 mil a year isnt enough

[eric0095]

You can't watch the new season even if there was no lockouts you dumbasses... enjoy the few basketball vids you can watch during the off-season while you can...

[ANewBosnianKing]

id like to see another great moment like this happen NBA,so kill the lockout and give us the season! if the nba really does "care" like they promote they do then give the fans what we want, BASKETBALL

[dapaw11xd]

for those who are asking.

During the NBA lockout, players will not receive their salaries; teams will not negotiate, sign or trade player contracts; players will not be able to use team facilities for any purpose; and teams will not conduct or facilitate any summer camps, exhibitions, practices, workouts, coaching sessions, or team meetings -- NBA

[gridion109]

@and1rew its when a sports association (like the nba) cant agree on a collective barganing agreement. If they dont have that they cant do events such as games and practices

[fightingirishkid97]

@gridion109 no, it's not. that's what caused the NBA's lockout - a lockout itself is not caused by that. FYI a lockout isn't just a sports association term... it applies to any business.

[LiLCme09]

goeverybody to (nba.com) NOW it'll tell what a lockout is!!!

[madmandf126]

wtf is a lockout



[deek77]

@madmandf126 In businesses that deals with unions, especially sport business, an contractual agreement sets terms b/w managment and labor - distribution of funds, pay scales, minimum wages for veterans, requirements for entering the NBA etc. When the workers, in this case the players, refuse to work or have any dealings with managment, it's called a strike. When managment, i.e. the owners and NBA brass, decide to stop dealing with the players, it's called a lockout.

[RickhatesScott]

hey're not uploading these to entertain us, look at the number of videos, 77, they used to have liked 500. They're reuploading good quality videos. So chill out with the "OH MAN THEY'RE TRYING TO KEEP US ENTERTAINED!"

[briansnowangel]

Why is everyone complaining about the lockout? The season doesn't even start until the end of October. They wouldn't have any new games to show us anyway. They have plenty of time to work it out. And the shortest season with a lockout was around 55 games. Just relax. It's not like the new season would have been underway already and were missing any games.

[basketBallboy235]

@briansnowangel NO MORE NBA!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[hahyunlee]

@briansnowangel part of nba's entertainment comes through offseason, where players/coaches end up, where crazy trades happen, but the lockout isnt letting coaches or gm communicate to their players. no training, no workouts for players. its hard to not think of offseason when nba season is over...

[imnotftw]

@briansnowangel its a lockout meaning no trading no free agent signings and everything has been removed from youtube and NBA.com. There is essentially no NBA at all. During the summer theres a summer league - that's banned. People are trying to show the NBA that they don't want this and the NBA have to take their fans consideration into account because if they don't they will look bad.

[TheSTJ24]

@briansnowangel thank you so much, this is what i've been trying to explain to all these dickhead tryna run a cute lil disliking campaign

[6941990]

@briansnowangel

*50. :)

[briansnowangel]

@6941990 Oh thanks... haha

[cb4allstar4]

@briansnowangel well dont forget the NHL locked out their ENTIRE 04-05 season and NBA doesnt want to go by NFL ways(easy ways) so its going to be hard for both sides to work it out and easily after getting a huge fan base form the 2011 season it will drop

[VJDJPJ501]

@briansnowangel what about summer league. we are deff missing that which is a preview of the next season especially the incoming talent of our favorite teams

[keenkeel]

@briansnowangel You're really ignorant: there are thousands of people who make their livings being affected by the immediate close of the arenas, gyms, etc. There are contracts of publicity that will not be renewed. There are industries of sports products which will fire employees...

[briansnowangel]

@keenkeel When did i mention who cares about those who are effected by this? People are complaining about the lockout because of no basketball when it is the offseason. There would still be no basketball anyway.

[keenkeel]

@briansnowangel As I said before...

[LocoGroove]

@jasonwin123 Because we don't wanna see this old shit, we want a new season.

[xshananigan]

yes, lockout does suck & yes, i am anticipating the new season as much as you fellow basketball fans are, but the dislikes really aren't necessary. that's basketball history and you probably aren't a true fan to appreciate it despite the lockout.

[BENKATOK]

LeBron is better than Magic. thumbs up if you agree.

[bigcritic69]

@BENKATOK What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

[hahyunlee]

@BENKATOK kid go to school.

[xaznkidz]

I just noticed that the NBa Finals 2011 videos are deleted, like wtf...

[KrazyK5555]

Theyy are just some greedy ass people who dont care about the game anymore and just want money now........

[ProducaBoy911]

Wait can someone explain if there will no season at ALL, or do we only get half of the NBA season? Plus will there be an All-Star game?

[Ownmanship]

@ProducaBoy911 Are people too stupid to google today?

@ProducaBoy911 The players and owners are having a problem negotiating with money. The NBA lost 100s of millions of dollars last season and they are trying to find a way to have an agreement on money so everyone can be happy and no one loses money. Until they find middle ground there will be no offseason, no training camp, free agency, pre-season, all st
