#1 Magic Johnson  Magic Johnson, from start to finish, had the most extravagant career in NBA history. He won a title as a rookie playing practically every position, including center in the Game 6 finale against Philadelphia, and reached The Finals in his last season before the HIV announcement. Magic’s charisma, court vision, adaptability and all-around statistical mastery (career averages of 19.5 points, 11.2 assists and 7.2 rebounds) warrant a No. 1 ranking.
