Magic Johnson was one of slickest point guards in the NBA when it came to assists. He could pass from every angle and from any position. He received his nickname when he was in High School, when he had a triple double with 36 points, 16 rebounds, and 16 assists. After the game a sports writer wrote an article about him calling him Magic. Johnson played his whole 13 year NBA career with the LA Lakers and is in the argument to be the best Laker ever. In his career he averaged 19.5 PPG, 11.2 APG, 7.2 RPG, and 1.9 SPG. In his rookie season he won the NBA Finals Most Valuable Player Award. In 2007 he was rated the #1 point guard of all time by ESPN.
