First, it was Chris Carter, who is currently an NFL analyst for ESPN after his long tenure with HBO Sports, now it is Magic Johnson. However, I think this is a good move for him. He will do a good job for ESPN. Although Magic has retired from the game, it is still ‘SHOWTIME’ everytime he is on TV!

Did anybody notice Emmitt Smith’s “removal” from the Sunday NFL lineup on ESPN? Infer what you want, but I’m not sure what was acceptable on TNT flies on ESPN. I think Magic will be fine, but he might have to polish up a couple of things for longevity on the Worldwide Leader.

Good for Magic,this manknows basketball.When he won those championships with the LA Lakers,he knows so much about winning in the clutch.To be grat,you gotta do it in the clutch.Kobe,Lebron,Iverson,Dwayne Wade these guys got it.Tim Duncan got 4 rings for a reason too.Shaq in his prime was dominant.

Magic Johnson on ESPN is a good move. The rivalry of the Lakers and Celtics is again the main topic of the NBA. Magic has been involved with the rivalry since 1984 when the Celtics beat L.A. in 7-games. To have Magic at the NBA Finals when the Celtics and Lakers have their Dunkadelic Dynasty Battle Volume #5 (1984,1984, 1987, 2008, 2009) release party this coming June it will be treat for all basketball fans old school and new school.

I just read a powerful article about Magic Johnson at http://www.ebmpublishing.com. The article was wonderfully written and showed a different side of him. It discussed in detail his business approach and commitment to improving the community. It’s an engaging, thought provoking article that gave me a new found level of respect for him.

I have always admired Magic Johnson. He is such a great man, and business man. I find him to be trueful. He dosen’t flaunt his success. He was a little wild in his eralier days, but who isn’t. He finally got it together and married Cookie. Best of luck Magic on ESPN.
