Why does the No. 1 point guard in history appear on this list of big insiders?
Wang Zelin was quite confused at first, but when he saw the explanation given by the system, he realized that Magic Johnson had actually played inside, and at the power forward position.
Because of the purple diamond superstar card on panel 8, the ability attributes refer to the performance of the player who had no choice but to quit the NBA in 1991 due to being found to be HIV positive, and returned again four years later (season).
In the original time and space, the Demon God Emperor Buddha Shark was often called the historical team, because these five people were the five people who won the most championship MVPs in NBA history.
Individual positions may be controversial, but the three positions of demon, god and Buddha are basically uncontroversial.
It can be said that God took over the scepter of the alliance from the devil.
And all of this happened in the finals battle between gods and demons!
That year, the 28-year-old Jordan led the Bulls to defeat the invincible Lakers in just 5 games, winning his first career championship and starting a legendary road to the throne of the first player in history.
But during this year, a major event occurred that shocked the world of men's basketball. Almost five months after the end of the 1991 Finals, on January 7, Magic Johnson announced at a press conference:
"Due to being infected with HIV, I had to announce my retirement from the Lakers."
This became the most shocking news in the world at the time.
This is not a star announcing his retirement at the end of his career, but the facade of the league. The legendary superstar who saved the NBA in the 1980s suddenly announced to the world at the peak of his career that he was going to die.
In those days, contracting HIV was no different than being declared a death sentence in advance!
As for why magicians are infected with HIV?
In the 1980s, people, including the magician himself, lacked common sense about HIV and AIDS. The magician did not use thin balloons at all, and yet he was one of the most popular among girls in the country.
Ahem, according to Magic's own admission, he slept with more than 2,500 women during his playing career, and often had 6 at a time.
Emmm, one versus six at night, more than once, he deserves to be the number one point guard in history!
After being tricked, the magician spent the entire night calling the girls he had slept with to inform him. Fortunately, no one, including the magician's later wife, got sick from him.
At that time, one of the most famous and strongest male athletes in the world was infected with HIV, which almost caused the whole world to re-examine AIDS and sexual safety.
NFL star Jim Brown said in an interview: Magic's retirement directly changed the historical status of thin balloons!
In fact, condoms went up in price the week Magic announced his retirement.
Magic's career was short. He basically retired from basketball at the age of 32. He played a total of 12 seasons until his first retirement.
In 12 seasons, he won 5 championships, winning championships for almost half of his career.
3 MVPs, 1st All-Star, 3 AMVPs, 9 First Team...
Individual data champions such as four assists and two steals are simply not ranked among the great magician's career honors.
When he announced his retirement in 1991, the 32-year-old Magic was actually in good shape because he had just won the MVP consecutively at the age of 18.
Yes, that’s the MVP of the 1990 Star Wars!
The MVP battle is simply a fight between gods. Nine Hall of Fame members are competing for MVP. Bird, who averaged 24.3 points, 9.5 rebounds and 7.5 assists per game, only ranked 10th in the MVP voting.
The 31-year-old magician had the last laugh that year and became the star among the stars!
At the age of 32, he led the team to the Finals again. During this series with the Warriors, he averaged 25.8 triple-doubles per game, setting a historical record at the time, and his long-range shots became more and more accurate.
The back-up technique is getting more and more amazing.
If it weren't for HIV, his honor would have continued to skyrocket.
Therefore, God has indeed taken over the scepter of the alliance from the hands of the devil!
To be honest, Wang Zelin was very lucky this time. If Magic Johnson hadn't been carefully recuperated for more than four years, the HIV virus in his body gradually stabilized, and he briefly came back as a power forward to play 36 games for the Lakers on a whim in 1996.
Including 4 playoff games, he has no hope of getting involved with the number one point guard in history.
That's right, what Wang Zelin hopes to draw most now is Magic Johnson's ability. In that case, his control, passing, and organizational skills will all make a qualitative leap.
There is no doubt that Magic Johnson is the number one passer in human history. He is the first person in NBA history to average assists per game with a career average of 11.2 assists per game. He is the only two players in history to average double figures in assists per game in their careers.
.
At the same time, he also has unparalleled ball control and protection.
Why do you say it is unique in the world?
Because Magic's ball-control and ball-protection skills are combined with his 2.06-meter height to achieve a perfect man-ball integration, his technical style on the court is very suitable for big players.
In the original timeline, during Ball Control Week, Curry, who was at his peak at the time, was interviewed and asked who he thought was the strongest ball handler in the NBA.
Curry's answer is:
Pete Maravich, Magic, Kyrie Irving and himself.
Maravich, a dribbling genius across the ages, the creator of all kinds of gorgeous dribbling moves!
Irving, whom Curry considers to be the best ball handler in history, doesn’t need more BBs!
Curry himself is an extremely flexible ball handler with superb hand-eye skills!
And Magic Johnson, who is 2.06 meters tall, is always sideways to protect the ball, an unsolvable bug on the court!
In fact, since the magician's dribbling movements are based on his physical condition, although they are not as gorgeous as the other three, they are the most practical and truly simplify the complex.
Use your huge physical advantage to separate defensive players to protect the ball, always raise your head to keep your field of vision wide, and look for opportunities to pass. This not only saves energy, but also quickly switches to a relying state to seek personal offensive opportunities.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Since joining the Lakers as the No. 1 pick in 1979, Magic Johnson has been an SSR card since his debut. He has always been above the clouds and never dropped.
And his performance on the court can be said to be arbitrary, the rhythm of the game is wide open, and his hands are extremely responsive. He is the number one court control master in history.
You know, this was the 1980s when wrist-turning was very strict!
From the end of the 1991 Finals to the season four years later, how has the Magic changed?
First of all, his position has changed from the original point guard to a power forward, and secondly... he has really become a "thick" point guard!
At this time, his weight reached more than 230 kilograms, nearly 40 kilograms heavier than when he retired, but he was by no means fat, but really strong.
The magician has been taking steroids to treat his illness and has been actively exercising.
Friends who know something about fitness should know the effect of steroids on muscles. Many bodybuilders use them to make their muscles expand rapidly.
If the Magicians after 2000 were really fat, then the Magician who came back for the second time around 1996 was definitely one of the most muscular men in NBA history.
He is 36 years old, has not played a formal game in more than 4 years, and his athletic ability has almost been reduced by half. However, in the first game of Magic's comeback, he scored 19 points, 8 rebounds and 10 assists against the Warriors.
Coincidentally, the player he was playing against at the time was the Timberwolves' young genius Kevin Garnett.
Garrett actually played with Magic on the court... It feels like the historical filter has been broken, and the two eras briefly intersected through Magic's comeback.
Even the power forward version of Magic is still very coquettish on the court, and his iconic no-look pass is still unique in history.
In the first 7 games of Magic's comeback, he averaged 19.1 points, 7.7 rebounds and 9 assists!
By the way, the total points scored by league teams in that era were not as impetuous as they are now. Even the arrogant 1996 Bulls only averaged 105.2 points per game, while the Lakers averaged just over 102 points per game at that time.
In the 7 games since Magic's comeback, he has led his team to an impressive record of 6 wins and 1 loss. The only opponent he lost was the 96 Bulls.
In the 8th game, I was injured after just one minute of playing, and my subsequent state was affected, so my data inevitably declined.
But after 32 regular season games, he still averaged less than 30 minutes of playing time per game, averaging 14.6 points, 5.7 rebounds and 6.9 assists, with a true shooting percentage of 62.1%!
At that time, the league's average official shooting percentage was only 54.2%!
In the playoffs, after 4 games, Magic averaged 15.3 points, 8.5 rebounds and 6.5 assists per game. His performance was still strong, but his playing time was only 33.8 minutes.
Magic Johnson's roller-coaster career made Wang Zelin both shocked and regretful. Now, he can't wait to see Magic's abilities and attributes.

Gift crab!!!
Is this what the 36-year-old magician is capable of?
I'm afraid he's not a magician!
But thinking about it, Magic actually did not reduce the amount of training during his brief retirement for more than four years. Instead, in order to save his life, he may have trained harder than when he was a player.
When he came back for the second time, although he was 36 years old, he was still strong. However, due to the doctor's advice and the concerns of the Lakers management, he had to reduce his playing time.
You know, in the 1980s and 1990s when powerful players dominated one side, NBA stars generally averaged more playing time per game than they do now.
Magic Johnson is a typical representative. He averaged 36.7 minutes per game in the regular season during his career, and even as high as 39.7 minutes per game in the playoffs during his career.
Looking at it this way, Magic Johnson was also a real physical monster back then!
Could it be said that this is also a kind of inheritance of Zijin bloodline?
Basketball technology is improving and developing, but those old monsters from the 1980s and 1990s will still be great even in this era.
After seeing the player abilities and attributes of the old monster Magician, Wang Zelin's little heart started beating wildly again.
The ceiling passing ability is as high as 99 points, the historical first-position super giant ball control ability is 97 points, the breakthrough ability is 91... and another purple diamond level talent skill that has never been possessed before - the king of wonderful passes!
After possessing this talent skill, you can greatly enhance your global vision and stability, and increase the probability of triggering fancy passes by 35%!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Doesn't this mean that he can also follow the example of White Chocolate back then, where one person controls the ball and nine people are nervous.
Bah, bah, bah, no, no, no, what white chocolate? Next, I’ll ask him to teach me the Oriental Magician!
Of course, the most outrageous thing is the injury-resisting attribute, which is actually "???" that cannot be detected by the system, which is really outrageous.
He has been awakening the system for several years. As he draws more and more purple diamond superstar cards, his ability and vision are now far better than when he was a rookie four years ago.
It's like being in a superior position. As long as he can draw the magician as he wishes, he has the confidence to quickly integrate the magician's abilities into his own body and greatly improve his three abilities and attributes of ball control, passing and breakthrough in a short period of time.
In the last game against the Dream Team, he had had enough of being double-teamed, his teammates making mistakes at every turn, and even having trouble catching the ball in the final quarter.
Once Magic Johnson is drawn, with Wang Zelin's terrifying physical fitness, he can completely switch to the first position and launch attacks from beyond the three-point line.
Just like the ball-holding and big-core style of play that will be widely popular in the future, it combines all aspects of sudden, passing and shooting, and it is almost impossible to be restricted on the court.
Although this may make the young men's basketball team lose some training, he doesn't care so much in order to compete for medals.
In order to defeat the arrogant Meng Twelve; in order to achieve a historic new breakthrough; in order to achieve the deep ambition of being No. 1 in the world; from now on, other teammates can only be reduced to mere tools.
Perhaps due to being too excited, Wang Zelin seemed to have forgotten one thing. He only had a 1/8 chance of winning Magic Johnson.
The only good way to break the situation that he has been thinking about may not be able to be caught by him.
"System, start the lottery!"
In an anxious voice, Wang Zelin gave the order for the lottery. And his eyes were always staring at the turntable, looking forward to the appearance of Magic Johnson.
However……
"Ding! Congratulations to the player for winning Larry Bird from the season version!"
