Magic Johnson, Best PG
Whoever thinks Magic Johnson isn't the greatest point guard is out of their minds. The Lakers landed Kareem after the Big O, Oscar Robertson retired, but they didn't really win until they drafted the kid out of Michigan State with the big smile. Magic truly loved the game. He made everyone around him better and won a title in his rookie year, including the Finals MVP. In those 1980 Finals, Kareem was Magic's go to man and when Kareem went down with a badly sprained ankle the 6'9" Johnson was asked to step in at center in Game 6 with LA up three games to two. Magic responded with 42 points, 15 rebounds, and seven assists. Johnson dazzled fans with his passes, steals, clutch shots, and, of course, that smile, as some would say. His accomplishments are: He was on the 1980 All-Rookie Team, 12x All-Star, 3x MVP, 10x All-NBA, 5x Champion, 3x Finals MVP, 4x Assists Leader, 2x Steals Leader, and he is a Member of the Hall of Fame.
