There's a difference between handling the rock occasionally,

and playing PG full time, and running elite(and in magic's case all time great) offenses. Tmac never did that, nor lebron.

You gotta look at the offense and supporting casts as well. That Orlando team didn't run like those Lakers. Not too many teams since those Lakers have run like that. You put Bron in PHX in 04 instead of Nash with Antoni and JJ, Marion, and Amare and I think he could've come close.

The fact that you have more nikkas trying to be Magic only ups the chances that we will see another one. When is the last time we saw a 6'5 chubby nikka playing the 4?

This is where I gotta agree.. It's a numbers game at this point and the trend is headed toward the possiblity of a next Magic...


But Magic is still a One of One until further notice....


I'm still holding out hope that some 6'5" country n1gga with a 44 inch verticle and the heart of a lion will come out of some small town in Mississppi one day...

:krs:

he said he was 6'4" and 3/4


I think Magic was actually shorter than 6'9" also, unless Larry Bird was 6'10" :aicmon:

Barkley 6'6" at least bruh

Anyways...there is a player similar (not talent) to Barkely and it's Dejuan Blair. I see more undersize PF/C more than tall PGs.

If we talking about superstars, there's a higher chance of another Magic. shyt look, at lebron. Sometimes these players played PG and experienced a sudden growth spurt towards the end of their hs careers

Ain't no 6'4" dudes finna bang in the post ever again. The trend is taller, 6'7"-6'10" wings are becoming the norm now, I remember back when if you were 6'7" wing you were big :bryan: Definitely a 6'9" PG will not be out of the question.

If they aren't smoked out at the pre-draft camp, padded heights get exposed at USA Basketball team trials. It was in the run-up to the 1992 Olympics that the world finally learned what the cognoscenti had long suspected -- that Charles Barkley was more like 6-4 5/8 than 6-6, and Magic Johnson closer to 6-7 than 6-9. Likewise, it was a measurement in 1988 before the Games (citius, altius -- but not unduly altius) that exposed Danny Manning, who had been a 6-11 freshman at Kansas, as a 6-9 NBA draftee-to-be.
