159 pages. "Our Magical Man," "our Houdini," "the man of the hour," "Cousy, Maravich and Meadowlark Lemon rolled into one fancy player." These are only a few of the phrases used to describe the basketball skills of Earvin Johnon, six-foot eight-inch guard for the Los Angeles Lakers. Passing - not points scored but points produced - was the key to Johnson's being named Michigan State's most valuable player while still a freshman, to his leading the Spartans to the NCAA championship as a sophomore, and to his being the number 1 pick in the 1979 collecge draft. A genuine love of the game, a winning smile, and a deep concern for his teammates combine with his passing skill to win Johnson a top position not only in the Los Angeles Laker lineup but in the world of basketball in general. Describes the development of a rare blend of talent and personality that makes the career of Earvin Jonson unique and exciting. Interesting black and white photographs of his early glory. Glossy illustrated boards moderately rubbed. Remainder mark on bottom edge. Book
