Magic Johnson vs. Jordan & Isiah Thomas

Before the end of the 1992 NBA All-Star game, Magic Johnson had funny one-on-one show against Isiah Thomas and Michael Jordan. By the way, Magic was the MVP of that game.

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

[klirshead]

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.

@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.

@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.

@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 - 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.

@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".

[duffmanbegins]

@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.

earvin magic jhonson the best

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

[samtheman7975]

@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

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
