Earvin 鈥淢agic鈥� Johnson鈥檚 arrival in the National Basketball Association occurred the same year as Larry Bird鈥檚, and together they often are credited with reigniting interest in the league during the 1980s. In college, Magic led Michigan State over Bird and Indiana State in the famous 1979 championship game. And as a rookie pro, he helped the Los Angeles Lakers secure a championship against Philadelphia with an MVP performance in the NBA Finals. Johnson wound up playing on five Laker championship teams (compared with Bird鈥檚 three for the Boston Celtics) and was known as the consummate playmaker and passer. Since permanently retiring in 1996, he has gone on to be a TV basketball analyst, advocate of HIV/AIDS prevention, and a successful inner-city entrepreneur who recently became a part-owner of the Los Angeles Dodgers.
