Magic Johnson talks to Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson and tells the story about playing the Philadelphia 76ers in the NBA Finals as a rookie in 1980. Magic’s teammate Kareem Abdul Jabbar suffered a sprained ankle in game 5 and was unable to play game 6 so Magic decided to take over Kareem’s role as Captain of the team. Magic ended up starting at the center position despite only being 6’9″ and lead the Los Angeles Lakers to what would be their first of FIVE championships over an eight year span. Absolutely epic moment and story of the one and only Magic Johnson. This moment is on of many made me a lifelong Magic Johnson fan.
