Well, for those few who still do not know, here is how Magic got his nick name.
(Background Music)
When I was 15, the school I went to is never a basketball school, where there is only a baseball school and so, we supposed to come in last and not leave and we went to play that number one team that was supposed to win it all and on that gym, we end up the last one by about 20 and I had a pretty good game, you know.
36 points, 18 rebounds and 16 assist. And the sport’s writer came in and he said, you know, I want to give you a nick name.
You know, I said, that is 15 years?
I say, alright, you know, playing with my boys, yeah, we just got them, we busted them then yeah, this is it.
He says I want to give you a nick name. This sounds okay, but what? Lately, he said, well, Biggy is already taken, that is Alvin Hace. Dr. J, of course, Julius.
Can I call you Magic? It was me and my boy is here. Yeah, you call me Magic.
Alright, let us get back to the conversation now. You know, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So, it comes on the paper the next day and so you know, okay, this guy played like magic or so.
So, he is start writing and writing and kept on writing. Here I am. I do not know how maybe as still magic.
