Hear me out: 1980–82: Magic wasn’t even definitively the best player on his own team. 1983–86: Larry Bird was clearly the top guy in the league. 1987: The only real year you could argue Magic was clearly the best player… but Jordan put up 37 a night and Bird was still elite. 1988–91: Jordan had already taken over individually, even though Magic snagged 2 MVPs mostly because the Lakers had better records. So how does a guy who was arguably the best in the world for maybe 0–1 years end up as a consensus Top 5 all time? Magic was all-time great, no doubt… but is he just a little overrated historically? #MagicJohnson #NBAHotTake #NBAUnpopularOpinion #NBADebate #NBAHistory #NBA #Sports
