Sigh.
That makes it forty years since he started his second and final campaign at Michigan State. It feels like a long time back - and it was, apparently. |

Happy Birthday Magic. So many great memories. Had seats back at the forum the last 4 years of his career including the win v detroit 88 and went to a ton of games from '85-'92.
I remember exactly were i was when he announced...Bakersfield Cali about to do a comedy show (i was just another comic, nothing special...the equivalent of like the 10th-12th guy on a basketball team-think mike penberthy).
But many years later i had a chance meeting with Magic at a 24hr fitness in OC. Really early in the morning. He couldn't have been cooler. This was about a month after we signed Nash and Dwight.
Had a nice 5-10 minute conversation after he was done working out
One of my favorite laker moments as a lifetime fan filled with many
Oh...and he was representing even back then.
Had on a purple Laker tanktop with Lakers in yellow across chest.
(No number 32 on it though ) |

UCLA Freshmen Dorm Hitch Suites...none of us could stop the tears...we all thought it was a death sentence. Then he came to the mic and said...
'I know God gave me this disease because he knew I could beat it.'
...and he did....Magic defeated freaking HIV...still mindblown.
That's a champion folks...GOAT...and he has no close 2nd. _________________ "If You're Afraid To Fail...Then You're Probably Going To Fail."

Still one of the most consequential pressers ever.
Maybe thee biggest.
Was it in that Bird Magic Courtship of rivals documentary where they revisited that time and I think Magic called Bird to let him know ahead of time. Before it came out several hours later
Even before his teammates I think.
May have to rewatch that. |

So many thrills across the years, but I'll never forget the first game in San Diego vs the Clips. It was on at 11:30pm on the east coast. Magic didn't play well in the first half and I was like "well it's just his first game". Then he played brilliantly in the second half.
Then of course Kareem hit the skyhook at the buzzer and I yelled and awakened my parents, who weren't too happy about it LOL
At that moment, I felt we would win the championship that year. And then we did and it was only the beginning of an amazing 12 years.
Thanks Magic and Happy Birthday! |
