The basketball superstar reveals his thoughts while executing some of the most intricate and complicated plays in basketball and provides witty anecdotes about his family coaches teammates and rivals. Earvin "Magic" Johnson Jr. born August 14 1959 is an American former professional basketball player and former president of basketball operations of the Los Angeles Lakers of the National Basketball Association NBA. Often regarded as the best point guard of all time Johnson is generally considered to be one of the greatest players in NBA history and in 1996 Johnson was honored as one of the 50 Greatest Players in NBA History. He played for the Lakers for 13 seasons. After winning championships in high school and college Johnson was selected first overall in the 1979 NBA draft by the Lakers. He won a championship and an NBA Finals Most Valuable Player Award in his rookie season and won four more championships with the Lakers during the 1980s. Johnson retired abruptly in 1991 after announcing that he had HIV but returned to play in the 1992 All-Star Game winning the All-Star MVP Award. After protests from players he retired again for four years but returned in 1996 at age 36 to play 32 games for the Lakers before retiring for the third and final time. Here is Magic's game the way Magic plays it available for the first time in trade paperback. The NBA superstar shows us all the right moves--passing shooting defense dribbling and rebounding--from a champion's point of view. An all-out effort to give fans and students of the game an inside look at how basketball should be played. Johnson became a two-time inductee into the Basketball Hall of Fame—being enshrined in 2002 for his individual career and again in 2010 as a member of the "Dream Team" Addison-Wesley Publishing Company, Inc hardcover
