Life is like a wonderful journey, you can never predict in advance, the next second, what kind of person you will become. When Johnson went to high school, he would never have known that he would become a great basketball player who could be called a "magician".
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="48" > was occasionally awarded the title of "magician"</h1>
Irwin. Johnson was born on August 14, 1959, in Michigan, USA. Like many others, Johnson was born into an extremely modest family, with his father working in a General Motors factory and his mother working as an administrator at the school.
Johnson has no prominent family background, and with nine additional siblings, it is already a blessing to be able to live an ordinary life.
Johnson never thought that he would become a basketball star with global attention when he grew up, but this matter has been quietly taking root and sprouting.
Johnson is a very lively and active child, from childhood to adulthood, he especially likes outdoor sports, especially for basketball has a special love, if someone has the heart to observe, will find that when he goes to training early in the morning, Johnson has long been sweating on the basketball court.
He was not a very good student, but Johnson could always be seen in the sports arena of the school. In a later interview, he told reporters that every time he went out to help his parents buy some small things, he would keep dribbling the ball all the way, for example, when he went, he would use his left hand to play, and when he returned, he would change his right hand to play.
Such an experience is always delayed and insecure, so Johnson's parents often reprimand him for it, but fortunately, he enjoys it himself and does not feel much wronged.
When he was in high school, Johnson participated in various basketball games held at the school as usual. A sports columnist who saw Johnson playing like a flowing ball exclaimed that he was a "magician", and since then, Johnson has been a magician on the basketball court.
Johnson in high school is already the backbone of the school basketball team, coupled with his title of "magician", it has cast a mysterious and powerful veil on Johnson's basketball skills.
At the end of high school, Johnson is about to usher in a more liberal college career, in order to be more convenient, Johnson directly chose to study at Michigan State University, which is closer to home.
As he grew older, Johnson's sense of many independent individuals grew stronger, especially his love of basketball. In order to better devote himself to the game of basketball he loves, Johnson always chooses the most efficient and fastest way to complete his academic tasks, and then spends the rest of his time and energy on the hobby of playing basketball.
In his freshman year alone, Johnson led the school basketball team to regional competitions and won the Big Ten Division championship with the team members with a 25-5 score. Johnson, on the other hand, had an excellent record of 17.0 points, 7.9 rebounds and 7.4 assists.
In his sophomore year, Johnson, along with other members, signed up for a collegiate league tournament sponsored by the NCAA. In the field, the prosperous Johnson was full of fighting power, and the same team members worked together to defeat the equally strong Indiana State University and become the champion of this game.
As the game continues to spread, many people regard it as a classic, and there are also professional sports column commentators who have made strong affirmations of Johnson's performance on the field.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="10" > seize the dream to enter the NBA</h1>
With the skills training that he enjoyed tirelessly as a child, coupled with several excellent results in college, Johnson had greater confidence in his basketball skills, which slowly led him to breed bold ideas for entering the NBA.
As we all know, as one of the four major professional sports leagues in the United States, the NBA basketball team has always had a high reputation in the world, which can almost be regarded as the ceiling of professional basketball teams in the world.
As a result, Johnson's desire to enter the NBA is admirable and bold. This goal may seem difficult for many people, but Johnson quickly made it a reality. In 1979, Johnson was selected by the professional basketball team Lakers with a "champion" performance and became one of the players in the NBA game.
Johnson idolized Lakers center Abdul-Jabbar, and when he was eleven years old, Johnson asked for Abdul-Jabbar's autograph. Johnson was even more excited when he was selected for the Lakers and became a team with childhood idol Jabbar.
Once the team relied on Abdul-Jabbar in the last minute of the game, using the original "sky hook" skill to save the game, Johnson excitedly hugged Abdul-Jabbar for a long time, making it difficult for Jabbar to breathe.
The Lakers are full of masters, but Johnson still has not been mediocre. In a "Lakers" vs. "76ers" finals, Johnson's team, because of their excellent skills, had the upper hand with a 3-2 result, watching many fans, thinking that the outcome of the game had been decided, but a small accident made the whole game confusing.
During the game, lakers center jack-in-law Jabbar accidentally injured his ankle, so the rest of the game can no longer continue to participate. But Abdul-Jabbar, as a heavyweight player in the Lakers team, is usually the key to stabilizing the game, and once he withdraws from the game, the overall combat effectiveness of the Lakers will also decline a lot.
For health reasons, even if everyone is reluctant, Abdul-Jabbar still retires as scheduled to recuperate. The center position was vacant because of Abdul-Jabbar's exit, and everyone was ashamed of their inability to take on this role, while Johnson, who hid great potential, was favored by the coach and asked to fill the center position of Abdul-Jabbar.
Perhaps because "newborn calves are not afraid of tigers", Johnson did not lose his confidence because of Abdul-Jabbar's brilliant aura, nor did he have too many doubts about his own strength. He always told himself that since the wood was in the boat, he should go all out.
In this game, Johnson alone scored 42 points, 15 rebounds, 7 assists, 3 steals, and the use of the "sky hook" skills learned from his predecessor Abdul-Jabbar at the end of the game, which made Johnson shine in this game.
At the end of the game, the Lakers still adhered to the proud tradition of the past and won the championship of the game. There is no doubt that Johnson has played an irreplaceable role for the Lakers in this game.
A young and not too long to come to the NBA game of the "rookie" level player, but with a flexible posture, and agility, to make up for the gap in Abdul-Jabbar's injury, and lived up to expectations as a center to dominate the overall situation, together with other members will be the seemingly weak game, turn the tide to victory, instantly won the admiration and admiration of many players and fans.
In the subsequent NBA career, although Johnson, as a flesh mortal, was forced to retire due to injury and missed a full 45 games, he returned to the team and did not lack of bad form to become the defeated players of others. But overall, Johnson still used his own practical actions to become the "first point guard" that attracted much attention in the NBA.
Years of experience have made Johnson very aware of his duties, the point guard is the most likely player on the court to contact basketball, but at the same time, he has the responsibility to get the basketball, cleverly transmit the basketball to other players, rather than rushing to shoot the basketball.
In his years in the NBA, Johnson has always been able to guarantee his excellent performance while taking into account the unity and cooperation between his teammates, so that he has won many championships in many games.
After joining the NBA, Johnson not only did his best to win five Finals championships with other members, but also stood out in terms of individual performance, 3 regular season MVP, 3 Finals MVP, 4 assist kings, 12 All-Stars and two All-Star MVPs.
For every player in the NBA, these awards are undoubtedly quite a great achievement, and having them a few times in a lifetime is already very remarkable, and Johnson has gained so many times like a probe, almost surpassing the familiar Michael. Jordan.
In addition, Johnson's ability to play with ease has also opened a "show time" era for the Lakers. Johnson is more than two meters tall, passing the ball for the players is not difficult for him, no matter how the opponent defends, he can always control the overall situation and use various opportunities to pass basketball to his players.
Every time he succeeds in his job, Johnson flaunts his skills, making himself shine while launching subtle psychological challenges to his teammates.
In 2019, Johnson won the NBA Lifetime Achievement Award for his proud results, and also became a world-class star who added a little sparkle to the NBA.

Johnson's basketball career, because of his own efforts and love, has always maintained a bright and dazzling state, but no one ever thought that such a pivotal legendary star was ruined by an AIDS storm that shocked everyone.
Before the 91-92 season, Johnson was unexpectedly revealed to have AIDS, and the rapid spread of this news meant that Johnson would soon be surrounded by rumors of "erosion of his private life", plus the disease was likely to threaten Johnson's life, and he could only issue a retirement statement after receiving confirmed information.
A generation of point guard stars, plagued by illness, had to withdraw from the NBA as soon as possible, a shining and full of fighting basketball stage. Thankfully, the waterloo of basketball didn't plunge him into extreme despair.
Accompanied by his wife, Johnson actively received therapy and turned his entire energy into business, successfully transforming from a professional basketball player to a commentator and businessman.
Johnson's life is always full of accidents, from the obscure ordinary children, to the amazing strength of the NBA star, and then to the later business giant, Johnson with personal experience to tell everyone that people's lives will encounter all kinds of possibilities, as long as we always stay awake, do not lose their minds because of a moment of glory and inferiority, we can live out our own wonderful in the chaotic people.
