| Source:Basketball Breakdown- Earvin Magic Johnson, who if he's not the greatest NBA player ever, certainly the best point guard, and perhaps guard as well. |
"Did you ever wonder how Magic Johnson got drafted by the Lakers? This was no simple lottery pick. Back in the 1970's the NBA was a freewheelin' gang of GMs swapping draft picks all over the place, and this story has twists and surprises you won't believe.
Originally aired on our channel NBA TradeTracker."
From Basketball Breakdown
The Los Angeles Lakers who were already a playoff team in 1979, managed to draft perhaps the best player in college basketball and the NBA as well in 1979, to go along with what was already an NBA Finals contender. The Lakers were already very good pre-Magic and had made it to the Western Conference Finals with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in the 1970s. But with Magic, now you have the best center in the NBA in Kareem, as well as the best guard and point guard in Magic and perhaps the two best players in the entire league as well.
