Magic Johnson is not just a product of the 80s, he is a man who extended his love for basketball at every possible edge.

Earvin “Magic” Johnson will forever be The Man in Los Angeles. Everybody knows and loves him. He entertained the city night after night with his playing style, leading the Los Angeles Lakers to five championships in the 80s.
