A few observations:

1) I don't know why people don't consider Magic to have been very athletic. His reaction time is faster than basically everyone else's on the court and he could run like a deer with his 6'9" frame with a LOW dribble which is very hard to do full speed at that height. So what if he didn't have gravity-defying hops, he could still play ever position on the floor and DOMINATE.

2) I never realized how large his hands were until watching 4:51 where he's palming the ball.

@gamblour Magic's a great ball stealer, but his overall defense is just average. Hence, he's a 0-time all defensive team member. He's one of my favorite players but he can only "do it all" on one end of the court.

imagine how many more assists he would've had if James Worthy made his shots.

Thanks for posting! Man it takes me back but this has to be the sickest passer ever to play the game! I had to watch it twice just to see where the ball went!

I know Magic's teammates had a ball playing with him. His nickname fit his game to a T

dammmmn magic was dirty

[ojstrike]

my eyes are sharp but some of those passes were

really quick. esp passes in traffic

he knows at a distance if a defender isn't looking

then he passes through the blind side

I'm just amazed how his passes are so accurate that they don't get stolen even when the pass go between several defenders

@SupremeTeamFP I smell a hater
