A living basketball legend, Magic Johnson isn’t one to sit back and watch when he’s snubbed in the discussion of the greatest players in history.
Proof of this is this thunderous backlash against LeBron James in 2013…
Subjectivity requires that building an all-time ranking of the best basketball players is always an absolute headache.
Even more so when the athletes in question add their two cents, who often have a very different vision from that of the media and fans.
They rarely hesitate to include themselves among the cream of the crop…
Magic Johnson is a good example, he who is considered the greatest point guard in history.
Which did not prevent LeBron James from snubbing him from his all-time Top 3 in 2013, preferring Michael Jordan, Larry Bird and Julius Erving.
Enough to seriously make the former Lakers star tick, who did not hesitate to dirtyly reject the Chosen One on social networks:
Magic furious after LeBron snubbed him from all-time top 3
NBA championship rings are all that matter: Jordan has 6, I have 5, Bird has 3, LeBron has 2, and Dr. J has only 1.
That’s what’s said, the Hall of Famer reminding Bron in passing that he was well below him in the hierarchy of titles. This before adopting a slightly softer speech towards him:
LeBron may have his own opinion, but I still think he and I have a similar game and that’s why I LOVE watching him play!
Even to this day, Magic Johnson’s argument is controversial.
Because if the number of titles were indeed all that mattered, then the all-time Top 10 would be almost exclusively composed of Celtics from the Bill Russell era, the latter having won eleven rings.
It should even be added that the Californian point guard would then be behind Robert Horry in the ranking, the former sniper having thus been champion seven times.
To this day, LeBron James still has “only” four NBA championship titles and is therefore behind Magic Johnson. Fortunately for the latter, because he would have seriously regretted his statement from a decade ago otherwise.
