Happy 50th Magic


On August 14th Magic Johnson celebrated his 5oth birthday.

Magic was a key figure in the ,"golden age," of basketball, an era where titans clashed like never before. An era which (just to name a few) featured Magic, Larry Bird, Dominique Wilkens, Julius Erving, Clyde Drexler, the Bad Boys Pistons with Isiah Thomas, and a young Michael Jordan. 

In his career, Magic captured five rings, three MVP awards, a gold medal, and in 1996  Magic was named one of the best 50 players ever. In 2002 Magic was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield Massachusetts where his name will live on forever.
