Who would you take to build your team around?
Larry Bird or Magic Johnson.
No question. Magic Johnson
Earvin "Magic" Johnson.
He looked like he was having fun, could play any position, made his team-mates better...
One might think the players who followed after his AIDS-forced retirement would be less promiscuous, but then again they are all invincible. Just ask them....
Tough call. Magic was great at scoring and dishing the assists, Bird was great at scoring and rebounding. I think the thing that tips it to Magic's favour would be the excitement factor. He was like a Harlem Globetrotter with skills. You never knew what he was going to do when the ball was in his hands. Two things are important when starting a franchise, winning and drawing a crowd. Magic would do both.
Majic Johnson, and using what we know now I would buy him a huge box of prophalactics
