If It Were Not For Magic What Would Mj Have Had What Would He Have Had To Inherit Stephen A. Smith Says Magic Johnson Made The Nba More Marketable As He Names Him On His Mount Rushmore

With the NBA celebrating its top 75 players to commemorate Year 75 on Sunday, the debates about who should have made the list and rankings have been revisited. On ESPN’s “First Take,” analyst Stephen A. Smith was asked who is on his NBA Mount Rushmore and said:

Former NBA player Jay Williams agreed with Smith on James, MJ, and Magic, but he had Kobe Bryant over Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

Magic Johnson is arguably the greatest point guard in league history

Magic Johnson had an outstanding career, even though he had to retire earlier than he would have liked because of health concerns. The 6-foot-9 point guard was a terror on both ends of the floor. Not only did he know how to score, but he is one of the best assist providers in league history.

What made his style of play more intriguing was his showmanship. He led the Showtime Lakers, who won five championships with their up-tempo, flashy style.

Johnson finished his career with 12 All-Star appearances, a four-time assists champ, a two-time steals champ, a three-time Finals MVP and a three-time league MVP. He is also the youngest player to win the Finals MVP award, winning it in his rookie season at 20.
