Hiphopsportsreport.com wanted to wish a Happy Belated Birthday to Earvin “Magic” Johnson, who turned 53 yesterday. He is a solid commentator for ABC/ESPN, a former part-owner of the Los Angeles Lakers and current part-owner of the Los Angeles Dodgers, a savvy and successful entrepreneur, an advocate for HIV/AIDS prevention, a philanthropist, role model and by all accounts a great person…
Oh, and he was a helluva basketball player too.
A five time NBA Champion, three time NBA Finals MVP, three time league MVP, nine time All NBA First Team member, 12 time All-Star, two time All-Star Game MVP, Olympic gold medalist, and a NCAA Champion…it’s safe to say he was one of the best to ever do it.
For those old enough to remember, enjoy this walk down memory lane. And for you youngin’s, be prepared to take notes.
