Earvin Johnson is truly "Magic." As point guard of the Los Angeles Lakers, he led his team to five championships during the 1980s, claiming three NBA Playoff MVP Awards and three NBA MVP Awards. With "Showtime" starring Magic and the Lakers team, the team and the sport as a whole was rejuvenated. Johnson's diligent playing even inspired the addition of the term "triple-double" to the basketball lexicon. Part of Johnson's legacy will forever include his rivalry with Larry Bird and the Boston Celtics. With the Lakers or Celtics winning a combined eight championships in the 1980s, it's no wonder that these two teams despised each other. On June 5, 2002, Earvin "Magic" Johnson was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame. Earvin "Magic" Johnson has hand signed this 16x20 Sports Illustrated cover from November 18, 1991. A Steiner Sports Certificate of Authenticity is included.
