Today it happend, Prof. NBA got to hear something he's been preaching to his students since 1997.
MAGIC JOHNSON was finally considered the greatest B-Baller, finally getting one MJ in the right spot and moving the other to the side.
The Prof. NBA heard this on some ESPN related show.
Where did you hear it?

I heard it on ESPN sports radio's Dan Patrick show on Sirius. Dan was talking with Reggie Miller and they were discussing the greatest
scorers in NBA history. Interestingly, they purposely left WILT out because he "stands alone" in this category and everyone else is battling for 2nd.
The convo eventually, and inevitably turned to who is the "greatest" NBA player of all time. of course the usual suspects were trotted out: Oscar, Kareem, MJ.. But Dan Patrick actually paused, and with cautionary murmers, started reminiscing about Magic's ROOKIE year, and he finally stated that, offensively, Magic could have done "anything" he wanted. That MJ beats him defensively, BUT, on all other aspects Magic outclasses not only Mike, BUT EVERYONE. Patrick finally stated, to his own astonishment, that all things considered, MAGIC JOHNSON IS THE GREATEST BASKETBALL PLAYER IN HISTORY.
Dan Patrick is the first person with any merit that I've heard [besides me] that has proffered this sentiment. FINALLY! I have always maintained that, pound for pound, magic Johnson was the greatest basketball player in history.
I do realize however, that Kareem (Lew Alcindor) Abdul Jabbar, William Russell and Wilt Chamberlain MUST be in this argument. Based on what MJ did in High school and College, or FAILED to do I should say; plus the way he got SCHOOLED during his first 7 years in the League, takes his black ass COMPLETELY out of the running for G.O.A.T.
The ONLY players that can possibly hold this title are Magic, Wilt, Rus and Kareem. That is it. Period.
DONE AND DONE.
I've been a Magic convert for about the last 4 - 5 years though you've been shouting about him for at least 10 -to me-.
Plus, if there is one thing NONE of the other players have that Magic does have, which makes him not only the best of all time, or the G.O.A.T, he's the only player with a bonafide SUPER PORN NAME:
MAGIC JOHNSON .. awww yeah. ROFL.
I always think of him as a rookie running around LA introducing himself in clubs like Billy Dee Williams - 'hey ladies, they call me "Magic Johnson" - and he just nods his head, like, 'uh huh' thats what I said, and looks down.
Magic Johnson.
lolololololol EXACTLY
AND YOU KNOW WHAT WE FORGOT:
Kareem -got beat by Bruce Lee..remember, got choked out by a small chinese guy in a yellow bodysuit. -not a G.O.A.T move.
Wilt was in a movie with Arnold the SchwartzNigga and I think James Earl Jones turned into a SNAKE..a snake! NOT A G.O.A.T move.
Mike Jordan played opposite Bugs Bunny, and not the 50's, 60's or 70's Bugs, but the really badly drawn and voiced late 80's/90's Bugs - YIKES = NOT A GOAT MOVE....
Magic Johnson beat HIV.
thats right period. THATS a G.O.A.T MOVE. dont hate! THATS GEEE OH AYYY TEE!
WORDY-WORD-WORD! How do you BEAT HIV??!! NOBODY "beats" HIV! magic did. dat nigga will outlive all of us! G.O.A.T.
