	Magic Johnson: Tutte le informazioni su Magic Johnson su Encyclopedia.it (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Nato a Lansing, Michigan, Johnson si guadagna il soprannome che lo ha reso celebre, "Magic", già al liceo, grazie alla sua enorme bravura a rimbalzo e, soprattutto, nell'eseguire spettacolari e precisissimi passaggi smarcanti.
		Molti temevano che "Magic" potesse in un certo senso "sgonfiarsi" all'impatto con la lega preofessionistica, fatto che accadeva, e accade tuttora, a molti promettenti giocatori universitari.
		Dopo le Olimpiadi, "Magic" scatenò la gioia dei suoi ammiratori anniunciando la sua intenzione di tornare a giocare, firmando un nuovo contratto nel settembre del 1992, sempre con i suoi Los Angeles Lakers, giocando, però, solo per due mesi, ritirandosi definitivamente nel novembre dello stesso anno.
