I've just watched the 1992 NBA All star replay courtesy of ESPN. It feature some of the greatest players to ever play the game- Michael Jordan, Hakeem Olajuwon, Scottie Pippen,Karl Malone and of course, Ervin "Magic" Johnson. It was one of the most memorable game of Magic because it was his last game before his retirement (due to being HIV positive). I.can't believe it was almost 20 years ago. Time flies. I still want.to see those.guys play now and if they are on their prime they will definitely be greater than today's top athletes like lebron and kobe.
Do you remember that game?

I do remember this game. This is the game when Magic won the all-star MVP and he shot the last 3 points even if they are winning by a large margin. Incredible performance by Magic on this game even though a lot of NBA players were against him to play because they were afraid that they will also be infected with HIV if he get cut and blood will spill. If we only don't age then we may be able to see them play against each other in their best form. I guess this will only come true when we play NBA computer game. :)

That's what I exactly did right after watching that game - I played NBA live on PSP using the 90's all star. I kinda miss Michael Jordan, and the rest of the Bulls in their championship form. Yeah, Magic was great on that game. He hit the last 3 3 pointers, the last one being a fade away jumper. And he even challenged Michael Jordan and Isaiah Thomas on an isolation play on the dying minutes. That was really great. Glory days of the NBA!

i can also remember that scene when Magic challenged MJ and thomas one on one.that was truly entertaining.up to now, magic's influence to the game is still present. he is one of the nicest guys to ever wear the Lakers jersey.
i also agree that the 90's is the glory days of the NBA. this is the time when Michael Jordan walked and made his impression in the game of basketball.

These guys has a lot of respect to each other. They have a lot of fun that time and that's very entertaining game with a different style of players and a different kind of talents they have.

hello my friend. how i wish i am at my basketball age when they ruled the basketball hardcourt.
i saw that All Star Game featuring Magic's last game in the NBA due to HIV. i saw it in cable TV as a replay 6 months ago. it was very entertaining. Michael Jordan was at his peak that time, very athletic and explosive. i wonder if we can also have a Legends 2 game featuring lebron, kobe, wade and durant when they get past their peak.
