No.1 Greatest Finals Performances(NBA.com)
Magic Johnson started at center (1980 NBA Finals G6)- NBA.com
Magic Johnson - 42 points, 15 rebounds, 7 assists in series-clinching Game 6(1980 NBA Finals), in place of injured Kareem
In one game, a 20-year-old rookie named Magic Johnson went from precocious to prodigious. With six-time NBA MVP Kareem Abdul-Jabbar out with a severe ankle sprain, Magic started at center and turned in the best performance ever in an NBA Finals game -- 42 points, 15 boards, seven assists -- on the road, no less -- as the Lakers won their first of five NBA titles in the '80s.

@PacManFan818 Hey PacMan i don't want to argue but...you do have a point

@bootiack you are hilarious for trolling a series that happened over 30 years ago. FT attempts shows how much a team is driving to the basket or getting high % shots. But since you want to know, they shot THE SAME EXACT NUMBER OF FT's that whole series. LA 117/144 PHILLY 108/144

@jesuisdavid1 Well yeah anyone can play center, it just depends if you can hold your own. Rodman was also a 6'6 guy who can play center, but to play like that you need a whole different style of playing and mental view of the game. Jordan is great, but no way he can play center. He is not built like a center. Rodman is a rare case. Landry (use to be with rockets) is 6'9, the same height as magic

@PacManFan818 the big thing about that draft year, is that the team that had the no. 1 pick wanted a center, that's why mj went 3rd overall, everyone said they should have gotten jordan for center. jordan can play all 5 positions, this dude on Rockets is only 6 6 and he's diong a great job......so it's possible. just would be harder?

@jesuisdavid1 Jordan wouldn't be able to play center. He's not big enough

Greatest rookie season ever

What an incredible performance by my favorite basketball player of all time. What rookie in modern time could possibly have the maturity to play all 5 positions in the finals, in a game 6 for the championship, on a road game?
