Magic could do it all,could play all 5 positions if needed at a high level.Magic ,Bird,and Russell were probably the best all around team players with High IQ in the game.But I would rank Magic higher because with the ball in his hands he controls tempo much more than Bird and Russell.He could dominate by scoring no points,or by scoring 30+ along 17assists 10 rebounds etc,he did what was needed within the team concept.Hey 1984 was a laker give way,1983 was like you could have it Dr J (even the Lakers wanted Doc to win one)before you get too old,1989 we know what happened with those hamstrings,Pat Riley was a practice workaholic maniac,burned Magic and Scott down.But regardless of wether he could have won 7 or even 8 don't matter,the 5 he won was in the 1980s much tougher than the water down 90s,no team of the 90s can be compared to the Lakers,Celtics,Sixers,Pistons of the 80s ,they were the much more fundamentally sound teams.

As a long-time Laker fan, I'm not so sure if the Lakers would have beaten the Pistons that year even if both Magic and Scott were healthy. Remember that the Pistons did beat the Lakers in both regular season games and the Pistons did have a slightly better regular season record that year (59-23 vs 57-25). I think that this series would have been very close like the previous year.

Stuart Perry The only time Kareem won a title is when he was paired with an all time point guard. Magic and Oscar Robertson. So who helped who? I loved Kareem but, don't devalued Magic Johnson's greatness to make a point that is true but doesn't prove much. Magic also, Magic won his first title by closing out Philly in a game 6 with a injured Kareem not even making the trip.

Magic just knows how to play ball. It's not about crossovers, pull ups etc. Some players just figure it out early and some never at all. Bird, Magic, MJ, , Bill Walton, Bill Russel, Duncan, Wade, Lebron etc just understood how to play this game.

Magic vs Drexler Magic vs Hakeem Magic vs KJ Magic vs K. Malone Magic vs Stockton In that order probably Magic's biggest West threats from 88-91... East was Isiah & Jordan. West was Portland in the Pacific growing 💗 into the 90-92 Blazers and Drexler coming into his own at 6'7" SG, Blazers 0-2 in 89 & 91 playoffs vs Magic and Los Angeles Houston with Hakeem who got Magic in 86 and was the best Center arguably from 88-91 though Houston couldn't get out the first round. Rockets 🚀🌌 0-2 vs Magic and Los Angeles from 90-91 Magic vs KJ... KJ tuned him up with paper cuts and jumping up his back slasher Chucky action doll 🎎 style .. 90 Suns spanked Riley and LA and ended an era. Phoenix 1-1 vs Magic in 89 & 90... Magic swept KJ in 89 WCF... KJ gentleman swept Magic in 90 4-1. KJ had the Isiah Thomas flair for dramatics with HOPS ... Karl Malone and Stockton 0-1 in 88 playoffs vs Magic and LA then the Jazz were stifled by Golden State, Phoenix and Portland before revisiting their playoff rivalry with Magic. They took the first big chunk out the latter year Magic era Lakers in 88 WCSF. Dallas took another good hack. 88 Pistons nearly hacked them all the way up. 89 Pistons knocked their heads off. 90 Suns took their head coach out and the 91 Bulls 🐂 humbled them in the 91 Finals. But the 88 Jazz after the 86 Rockets were the first to initiate the big dagger 🗡️ to the crown 👑 of Los Angeles... Houston and Hakeem Olajuwon and he and Sampson as Twin Towers 🗼🗼 effectively stole the crown 👑 from Los Angeles after they wrestled it from Boston... But Houston gave it back via Seattle in 87... Nothing like stealing something someone else steals from you to return it back to the original King 👑. Happy trails.
