Magic Johnson was picked #1 overall by the Lakers in 1979. But that is only the tip of the iceberg, as such greats as Pistol Pete Maravich, Gail Goodrich, Andrei Kirilenko, and Darryl Dawkins were all part of the deal that got Magic to the Lakers.

  • Good video. but Magic Johnson stated that if the Bulls had the number one pick he wasn't going to come out in the draft. Which means the bulls would have still drafted Greenwood, which meant years of mediocrity.

  • @perrynly INteresting. I would've thought he would have to declare for the draft before the coin flip - but I just read the LA TImes article - they don't say the date of the coin flip, so... thanks

  • I just had brain cramps. LOL

  • @dbrylle LOL - love it. Stay tuned for our next coming ASAP!

  • Mind blown....

  • @pokemon129 Awesome. Have a new one coming soon!

  • Wow, this is like Bill Simmons's Book of Basketball on video with commentary. Coach, Nick, the NBA needs you.

  • @jpeng94 Great complement - I love that book and Simmons himself. Hope he sees this. I can do one on Larry Bird I think... since he got drafted a year early...

see all

  • Coach Nick ? is that you ?!

  • You really need to do one on the Clippers. They have had more draft busts and blunders than any team in NBA history.

  • Not Coach Mike Brown but a Center with no Neck.

  • Do you think you could do James Worthy next? Even as a Lakers fan, I am curious to know how they got the #1 pick after winning the championship.

  • @nickilayko Yeah chicago was west and new orleans was east. Chicago blackhawks of the NHL are western.

  • Good work

  • i cant even imgaine how much work you put into these. job well done man

  • haha so its great for Bulls to own Lakers in 91 cuz they had 5 years of mediocrity

  • FALSE

    Had the Bulls ended up with the #1 pick Magic would have stayed in Michigan. Ask him....

  • new orleans jazz east????? chicgo bulls west??????? WTF????
