Laker Magic

I became a Laker fan because of Magic's passes. No-look, behind the back, off the dribble, cross court passes. I especially loved the smile on his face everytime his pass led to a Worthy dunk, or a coop-a-loop. He was the only player I knew who seemed to love it more when he helped other people score.

I learned to appreciate the assist because of him, and by extension, players who had the same court vision - Larry Bird, John Stockton, Jason Kidd and Steve Nash. Heck, I even like J-Will (Sacramento days).
