He won five championships and legions of admirers. When he was forced to retire in after contracting HIV, the basketball world reacted with a profound sense The Age of Magic loss. Gone from the game was the greatest point guard The Age of Magic ever lived. When he came back inhe rejuvenated the league. More staying power than Nate Archibald or Walt Frazier. More creativity than Maurice Cheeks and even Isiah Thomas. What made Magic great? First, he was nearly impossible to guard. At 6'9" and pounds, he coupled the size and strength of a power forward with the quickness of a point guard. He could force smaller defenders into the lane and shoot over them he patterned his "baby sky hook" after Kareem Abdul-Jabbar 's favorite shotand he could run circles around bigger players. He displayed keen vision and passing sense, and he was a phenomenal rebounder compared to other The Age of Magic. He thrived under pressure, especially in the fourth quarter. He called it "winnin' time. Johnson played for the Los Angeles Lakers during their "Showtime" era of fastbreaking offense and crowd-pleasing defense. Magic became a celebrity as recognizable as the movie stars who sat courtside at the Fabulous Forum. It was a remarkable climb for Johnson, a native of Lansing, Michiganwho was born August 24,the sixth of 10 children of Earvin and Christine Johnson. Encouraged by his The Age of Magic, Earvin Jr. He led Everett High School to the state championship his The Age of Magic year. He received his nickname "Magic" from a sports writer following a point, rebound, assist performance in high school. Michigan State prevailed During the season, Johnson led the Lakers to a record and became the first rookie to start in the All-Star Game since Elvin Hayes in Johnson's second season was marred by a knee injury, which forced him out of action for 45 games. He was named first-team All-NBA for the first time in and was a fixture on the team for the rest of his career. The Age of Magic ranks among the all-time leaders in steals. Magic was the king of the triple-double, averaging more than 11 a season. On November 7,Johnson held a press conference to disclose his illness and announce his retirement from basketball. Later, he joined the gold medal-winning U. Physically fit and 27 pounds bulkier, Magic began a comeback with the Lakers on January 30, With a near triple-double in his first game back, the year-old Johnson showed that he still had the magic touch. After a quick exit in the playoffs, however, he retired again. Johnson's first trip to the NBA Finals culminated in his greatest game. One win away from the championship, the Lakers lost Kareem Abdul-Jabbar because of a sprained ankle, forcing Lakers coach Paul Westhead to insert Magic at center against Philadelphia 's bruising pair of Darryl Dawkins and Caldwell Jones. Johnson responded with 42 points, 15 rebounds, and seven assists, leading the Lakers to a victory and the first of their five titles in the 's. See more pictures of basketball. Related Content " ".

  • The First Question Any Social Enterprise Should Be Asking
    JERR’S JOURNAL July 17, 2014 The first question any social enterprise should be asking . I once spent three days working with The Shreveport-Bossier Rescue Mission, a safe haven for indigent men who needed a place to stay and nourishing food for up to seven days. The CEO asked me to meet with his entire Board and staff, help them understand social enterprise, and then facilitate a closing discussion about the shelter’s strategic direction. The first question I asked during the discussion came right from Peter Drucker’s playbook. In his seminal work The Practice of Management , he wrote that because the question “is so rarely asked – at least in a clear and sharp form -- and (is) so rarely given adequate study and thought, (it) is perhaps the most important single cause of business failure.” The question? “What business are you in?” Shouldn’t be that hard to answer, should it? Well . * * * * * Does anybody here remember Jack McKinney? During the summer of 1979, the Los Angeles Lakers hired an obscure, 44-year-old assistant coach from Portland to coach a team that featured Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, the five-time NBA MVP, and a rookie point guard named Magic Johnson. Now, I grew up worshipping the (then) Minneapolis Lakers, even played in an abbreviated grade school game against one of our hated enemies during halftime of a Lakers game at the Minneapolis Auditorium. Those were the George Mikan, Jim Pollard, Vern Mikkelsen Lakers -- the original Big Three -- who won five NBA titles in six seasons from 1949 through 1954.

  • Renormalizing Individual Performance Metrics for Cultural Heritage Management of Sports Records
    Renormalizing individual performance metrics for cultural heritage management of sports records Alexander M. Petersen1 and Orion Penner2 1Management of Complex Systems Department, Ernest and Julio Gallo Management Program, School of Engineering, University of California, Merced, CA 95343 2Chair of Innovation and Intellectual Property Policy, College of Management of Technology, Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne, Lausanne, Switzerland. (Dated: April 21, 2020) Individual performance metrics are commonly used to compare players from different eras. However, such cross-era comparison is often biased due to significant changes in success factors underlying player achievement rates (e.g. performance enhancing drugs and modern training regimens). Such historical comparison is more than fodder for casual discussion among sports fans, as it is also an issue of critical importance to the multi- billion dollar professional sport industry and the institutions (e.g. Hall of Fame) charged with preserving sports history and the legacy of outstanding players and achievements. To address this cultural heritage management issue, we report an objective statistical method for renormalizing career achievement metrics, one that is par- ticularly tailored for common seasonal performance metrics, which are often aggregated into summary career metrics – despite the fact that many player careers span different eras. Remarkably, we find that the method applied to comprehensive Major League Baseball and National Basketball Association player data preserves the overall functional form of the distribution of career achievement, both at the season and career level. As such, subsequent re-ranking of the top-50 all-time records in MLB and the NBA using renormalized metrics indicates reordering at the local rank level, as opposed to bulk reordering by era.

I join with all of Bill Hosket, Nate Bowman, John Warren Metro New York, and especially all Long and Coach Red Holzman. What makes this victory so memorable Islanders, in celebrating that dramatic is not simply that the Knicks won the victory, a victory that still carries lessons championship, but that they won it through exceptionally unselfish play and team for us 50 years later. chemistry. In so doing they became one of the most admired and beloved teams in New York and NBA basketball history. There is often a misperception that New Yorkers prize individual achievement and care little for team play. That belief was challenged in the days and months after 9/11 when New York showed the world what team play was. And it has also been long challenged by the esteem that the 1970 team is held in by New Yorkers. Today, the memory of their play connects BISHOP JOHN O.

Michael Jordan threw out the ceremonial first pitch. It should have been a great night for the White Sox, Chicago's neglected team. Instead, in the seventh inning word spread across America and across the stadium that the man who threw out the first pitch was about to retire from the Chicago Bulls and the NBA. As the White Sox were getting blasted by the Blue Jays, word spread, a pall came over the stadium, and once again the White Sox were the other story in Chicago. On Wednesday morning Michael Jordan made it official.
