I still remember this game like it was yesterday. I still even remember going to play basketball after this game. Magic was at his peak. The whole Laker team was at their peak. Byron Scott and Worthy were also coming into their own, while Kareem started taking a back seat.
This was Mychal Thompson's (klay's dad) first game with the Lakers after being acquired in a trade. Notice he's wearing uniform #00. This game was played on a Sunday afternoon in Feb 1987. Thompson was on the Spurs and the prior friday night he showed up at their arena to get taped up, unaware that he had just been traded to the Lakers. He was informed by the Spurs' trainer that he was now "the enemy". Thompson jumped on a plane that night and got to the forum sunday morning, had a crash course in the Laker offense, went out and scored 10 pts for them. This was also a game which threatened kareem's double figure scoring streak, by then in the 700s. With one minute to play, kareem had scored six pts. He hit a layup with ab. 50 sec left and then was fouled with under 20 seconds left. He hit both free throws to get him to 10pts and the streak was intact.
Sorry, I just saw the full description by the person who posted the video and see that they did refer to kareem's scoring streak. Didn't see that before so I thought I'd add a bit of trivia about the game (which I recorded and still have)
man thank you for postin this.. i caught myself bein under the impression that magic couldnt shoot because nobody ever shows him doin anything but passing and some layups.. he actually has a pretty nice form n everything. That spin move on the fastbreak was dope good game magic hes sick
Monee Boiii Magic had two seasons where he shot 91% from the line and has a career 52% from the floor. He even had a season where he shot 38% from the 3. His ugly ass shot is deceiving.
Magic didn't dribble with his left very much, but he was big enough to shield defenders away from his weaknesses. However, he was an excellent ball handler because you couldn't steal it from him. When defenders started getting bigger, Magic went to the low-post where he could either score or facilitate.
@Stone Colds That's funny, Jordan only had 1 ring while Magic was in the League...Magic had 3 rings also the 90's were a weaker era than the 80's...there is a reason they moved the 3 point line in for 3 years...scoring sucked... All I am gonna say is this...you ain't beating the ShowTime Lakers scoring 80-90 points in a game...they run you out the building by 30 points...The 90's Bulls won many games where they did NOT score 100...not happening against those 80's teams Also that 91 Lakers Teams was hurt and not it Peak, unlike Jordan team. Worthy (Sprained ankle but played through) and Scott (Shoulder) was hurt, Coach Riley was coaching the Knicks, Woolridge, Cooper and Rambis was gone.. So to use Jordan fan argument...How many rings does Jordan have without Pippen and Phil Jackson? Zero...So why do you expect Magic to win without his top guys and Coach?
The Lakers are one of the most if not the most dynamic team ever. Definitely the best fast break, but they can slow it down and beat you with teamwork and defense.
Doug in San Diego I get what you saying but Magic beat Bird more than Bird beat Magic pls Magic is 2-1 in NBA finals> Magic should have even had all 3 but there was a team collapse in 1984. Bird is also in my top 3 players of all time tho
+Doug in San Diego No better finishers or passers than Magic or Bird. Champions, both of them. What makes them the two GOAT is how they inspired their teammates, made everyone on the floor better, and brought fresh style and beauty to the game.
WILLIAM MORRISON magic and bird didn't just make their teammates better, they also made each other better. It was amazing watching them during the 80s, as each season saw them expanding their individual games more and more. They each forced the other to get better in all phases of the game in order to try to be "better" than that guy on the other coast. And thank the good Lord that they went to the Lakers and Celtics... if either one would have gone anywhere else, it just wouldn't have been the same.
WOW!!! I feel sooo blessed to have grown up watching Magic n Showtime and Bird at the Gaahden every Sunday, just about on CBS!!! That intro is iconic in its own way to those who grew up in the 80s vs the 90s with NBC.
Those were like NBA Finals games. Both teams took them so seriously. Such great memories. I forgot about Magic's half-court shot. And that wicked spin move! And you forget how great the defense was as well. So many steals turned into Showtime breaks.
I watched this game beginning to end when it happened back in '87. Nothing beats 80s NBA basketball. These were two of the greatest teams of all time and this is one of the greatest games of all time.
Two major differences from the 80's to now that people don't bring up nearly enough. One...and I can't say this enough: PACE! Teams played fast. That's a by-product of conditioning and better fundamentals. Which leads me to point two. People say defense was so much worse. I disagree a bit on that. Yes, players got more athletic. But the Knicks and Heat and Jazz and even the Bulls looked better defensively because games were SLOWER. To add on to that...look at this game as evidence, guys made open shots. If you missed a rotation, you got KILLED on the court because you had shot makers. Not athletes or projects or developmental guys, but BASKETBALL PLAYERS. Big difference. I watch so many games where guys miss WIDE OPEN shots with regularity. You couldn't do that in this era...you'd get blown out. That's why Boston was so damn tough to beat in the Garden. Efficiency > athleticism.
Agreed totally. The mid-90s Cavs had impressive of defensive stats (largely attributed to pace) even by today's standards. Does anyone seriously think they'd hang with either of these teams, much less beat them? I hope not.
People say there was no D in the 80's. Nonsense. If you actually watch, guys played D but the offensive players were that much better. They hit shots with someone in their face.
Lakers shoot over 50% as a team in the 80s and many recent superstars now don't even do that like Kobe, and iverson. Kareem over magic though as the 80s Kareem is not the dominate younger Kareem. No way Lakers can beat Boston in 1985 without Kareem stepping up big time. At age 38 when Kareem want to play, he was still the most dominate
Jaxson Fugate Wow complete BS. I can't tell if you're just some old fart or an undereducated prepubescent boy. Defense WAS worse. It looks better because people couldn't use zone defense but now you need to be strategic with defense because of the ease in obtaining fouls. Superior defense is the reason why today's NBA has a slower pace you dimwit. And no one wants to mention the fact that for almost a decade, the NBA had way weaker competition due to the ABA merging. Kareem and Magic both had substantial increases in stats after the merge and it's not a surprise why. #faCTS
Players today are really skilled. I like all eras of the game. But to me, nothing beats the enthusiasm and intensity of 80s basketball. I miss it so much
@Alex Carushow Jordan easily greatest player all time Kareem just played more seasons clown If that's yo only logic total career points and stuff that Karl Malone better player then Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, since he has more career points In 5 less seasons Jordan more finals mvps, scoring titles, all defensive first team selections, Dpoy awards, steals titles, higher points per game averages in regular season, playoffs, nba finals then Kareem Sky hook just be quiet Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was a 2nd fiddle in Lakers championships Goat 🐐 Jordan 6 finals mvps has more then Kareem 2 1987 NBA finals Lakers 4 Pistons 3 Kareem 13 ppg was a role player Jordan best player on all his teams titles You say Sky hook never been replicated because people dont use that move clown
I wish they had the game when they beat the sixers at the forum the year after the sixers swept them in 83 .I went to that one too. I'll never forget Kareem killing Moses that day.
Ive watched so much Jordan Kobe iverson type highlights studying there moves.. but lately magic pippen Rondo type players with more of a team concept have caught my attention its harder to see what makes these players great..
Celtics missed Wedman and Walton in this game so much. LA showed they went 8 deep as they wore Boston down coming back from 17. The injuries piled up for the Celtics after this game and the Lakers just gained momentum the rest of the way.
This team made me a basketball fan, oh what I would have done to have witness a Laker game back then at the Great Western Forum. Staples just don't rock like that place use to.
Mychal Thompson's first game after Lakers traded for him. He wore 00 because of the quick turn around and a jersey wasn't available. I was 11 years old watching this game and it was sprinkling outside that day in Los Angeles loool
Computerlove, both are great players but neither are the GOAT. IMO you have to play both ends of the floor and neither Magic nor Bird were even close to being the defensive player Jordan was. Listen to players who played against Jordan, talk about how their offensive sets were directed to the side away from Jordan in an effort to avoid his defensive prowess. And Magic's MSU team was way better than Bird's ISU team, 3 other players in Greg Kelser, Jay Vincent and Ron Charles saw an NBA roster. And LA was favored in all 3 Finals vs Celtics. Kareem and Magic and Worthy were all 1st round 1st pick draft choices. For the Celtics they had zero!
third best pg what u talking about magic johnson is top 5 player of all time for me he is number 2 behind jordan and the best point guard ever now i bet kwame brown is the best center for you
if you were to put a team together of the best NBA squad of all time. Earvin Magic Johnson would be starting at point guard with out a doubt. do ur homework

if we coniseder oscar as pg...i am sorry,eventhough i am big fun of magic but oscar should be no1!but for me oscar was a compo guard who play pg-sg even sf!he avg 25.7p in his career and that means he took more shoots than a pure pg as magic,stockton...so i agree magic is the best pg ever,cause i consider oscar more sg and he is the 2nd best,only behind mj and above kobe and jerry west.
Magic Johnson was going against Danny ainge and isah Thomas that's why he looked like a star ⭐ in1991 Scottie Pippin showed you that Magic was overrated and Scottie Pippin is starting in my lineup and I'm benching Magic Johnson

1987 Lakers, one of the best teams ever.

Loved this rivalry!! I miss the old NBA!!
Was a Sunday afternoon game & a prelude to the 87’ Finals. Best era for the NBA….
Game was shown after Daytona 500 on 2-15-87
Magic Johnson is one of my favorite players ever Great Upload
1987 Lakers one of my favorite teams ever

The 1982 Finals team was the Lakers at their best
Lakers and Celtics a classic rivalry

+Ernesto Hendrix One of the greatest finishers IMO.
+WILLIAM MORRISON i agree
he couldnt not dribbling with left hand lol
Magic didn't dribble with his left very much, but he was big enough to shield defenders away from his weaknesses. However, he was an excellent ball handler because you couldn't steal it from him. When defenders started getting bigger, Magic went to the low-post where he could either score or facilitate.
Magic Johnson is Mr. Basketball.. perhaps the best bball IQ ever. Phenomenal player, maybe the greatest of all.
boss dawg fuck no. Magic by far.
@@donaldbrady3850 Lol...you're absolutely right.
@boss dawg
Magic Johnson greatest basketball IQ easily
Magic Johnson greatest point guard all time
But goat 🐐 Jordan best player ever
No ...perhaps....no maybe....it's fact...GOAT!!
Two of the GOATs, Magic and Bird. Nothing beats the Lakers/Celtics rivalry in the 80s.
I went to this game the crowd at the forum were so much louder than staples
Magic is the Greatest point guard in NBA history.
Look at the Lakers teamwork.. It's amazing
Magic best season 86/87 so easy to watch what amazing player was this magic is great gams will be newer forgotten
Its ridiculous when people say he wasn't a scorer. He just didn't shoot it 25 times a game like Jordan. Or even as much as Lebron
D G a vintage style of athletic layups and fundamental mid range. You got to admire 80’s basketball
Truth! He wasn't a glorified ballhog! Magic=GOAT
@udYi Q No it's not. It's the truth.
@Stone Colds That's funny, Jordan only had 1 ring while Magic was in the League...Magic had 3 rings

agreed
The Lakers were an average team before Magic arrived an became average when he retired
Magic was brilliant in this game and maybe the best year of his career
Magic was amazing
Magic really took over the game when it was crunch time. Super clutch player and great team defence.
WOW!!! I feel sooo blessed to have grown up watching Magic n Showtime and Bird at the Gaahden every Sunday, just about on CBS!!! That intro is iconic in its own way to those who grew up in the 80s vs the 90s with NBC.

@Alex Carushow
Jordan easily greatest player all time
Kareem just played more seasons clown
If that's yo only logic total career points and stuff that Karl Malone better player then Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, since he has more career points
In 5 less seasons Jordan more finals mvps, scoring titles, all defensive first team selections, Dpoy awards, steals titles, higher points per game averages in regular season, playoffs, nba finals then Kareem
Sky hook just be quiet
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was a 2nd fiddle in Lakers championships
Goat 🐐 Jordan 6 finals mvps has more then Kareem 2
1987 NBA finals
Lakers 4 Pistons 3
Kareem 13 ppg was a role player
Jordan best player on all his teams titles
You say Sky hook never been replicated because people dont use that move clown

The most effective Lakers play: the fast break! Their rival teams would get tired from chasing after them.
This was a great game.👍
The Forum WAS ON FIRE!!!
Pure Class by the GOAT PG

Epic play.

no doubt the player ever
Facts
Nothing like these games at The Forum being totally electric.
Lakers in the 80s were fast break demons!!
But also entertaining to watch them play. 1987 Lakers team is the best Lakers team of all time.
Magic the GOAT. Bird was a close second. But if I beat you in college, then two of three titles in the NBA, that says it all. Nuff said.
Computerlove, both are great players but neither are the GOAT. IMO you have to play both ends of the floor and neither Magic nor Bird were even close to being the defensive player Jordan was.

Actually, they didn't. Down most of the game including by 17 at one point in the 3rd

WOW!!!
1st best point guard!!!!
what about Robertson, Cousy, Steve Nash?
3rd best??? #1 of alllll times there just isnt a p.g. that even comes close to the totallity of what magic was.
In my opinion, he deserves second. His stats are tremendous.

Let's see Stockton and ??? were better PG's than Magic?

Nice game from the 3rd best PG ever
@miomimmos94 Please name two passers better so I can laugh at you.
who the fuck is #1 and #2???
