    This man is the true king of LA. I met him once as he was walking into a Starbucks in West Hollywood and I asked how he was and the man actually took time to chat with my friend and I and asked up how we were doing. I don't get how anybody could dislike this guy.

    What is sometimes overlooked about Magic Johnson is how well adjusted and purposeful he's become in his post-playing career. Not the usual path for most athletes (especially the true greats) once they retire. He gets it and seems to be thriving as much as he ever did--pretty amazing. Not only was he my favorite player growing up but I respect him tremendously as an adult now.

    For my two cents, this player is the greatest team player of all time. From his Rookie season until his Lakers team lost to the Jordan Bulls in 1991, his Lakers teams were a championship contender. Magic won five out of nine NBA titles in arguably the best decade of professional basketball. Please give this man his respect when talking about the greatest of all time. Look at his numbers and how they compare with MJ, KOBE, LEBRON, KAREEM, BIRD, DUNCAN, CURRY. Magic accomplished so much without having to be a scoring machine. Hence, the GREATEST TEAM PLAYER OF ALL TIME.

    I'm honored to come from the same city of Lansing Michigan as magic I went to the same highschool, Everett highschool I went to church with his whole family including his parents and siblings I'm friends with his nephew. So my whole life I've been a magic Johnson fan . I've had the pleasure of meeting him a few times over the years the first time being at a Michigan State basketball game in 1993 and a few times since . He's a great man I admire him and it's awesome I got to walk the same halls as him and play on the same courts and hang out In the same places as him .

That being said Magic Johnson is just outstanding to me and has stayed involved with basketball long after his playing days and it's just always great to see him and it's going to be great to see his documentary!

    I saw him in person at (ironically) Magic Mountain in California in maybe 1987 or ‘88. I was actually there applying for a job and I saw him (surrounded by kids), I didn’t know who he was because I wasn’t a basketball fan but I figured he played basketball because he was friggin huge. Overheard someone say “look, it’s Magic Johnson”.
