Magic Johnson

Put the ball in Magic Johnson’s hands, then sit back and enjoy the show. Hit in the frontcourt with an outlet pass, the Los Angeles Lakers star sets out to tantalize the Forum faithful as only he knows how. Downhill with momentum, Johnson baits a San Antonio Spurs defense with a pass fake to the left of his body, then seamlessly pulls the ball back on an invisible platter just in time to offload a dime to a teammate on his right. Johnson racked up 14 points, eight rebounds, 13 dimes and a highlight for the history books in the January 4, 1988 contest.
