Creating the Perfect NBA Player: 12 Traits from the best in the game

#10 Court Vision - Magic Johnson

Magic Johnson

Earvin "Magic" Johnson saw angles and eventualities better than anyone. Alongside Kareem Abdul Jabbar, he brought the "Showtime" to the Lakers.

It was almost like Magic was able to see things before they actually happened. At 6'9'', he wasn't even supposed to play at the Point Guard Position. However, with exceptional skills and court vision, Magic Johnson revolutionized basketball. He was nothing like anything people had seen before. His no-look passes were as hyped as some of the monster slams. In his prime, Magic was simply unstoppable. Just ask Larry Bird.
