When asked who would win a game of one-one between him and Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson didn’t hesitate. “Michael would win. That’s not my game. My game is assisting, setting up my teammates. Michael’s the greatest one-on-one player. I couldn’t go out and drop 60 like him, but he couldn’t run a team like I could.”
Magic knows his strengths, he’s right, there’s no one who had the court vision he did to set his teammates up and run the offense. Michael was just a beauty to watch, he could shoot at will and his handle was impeccable.
