Message: [QUOTE="NYCer20, post: 4893789, member: 12032"] Magic Johnson is my all-time favorite athlete. And Paige is my all-time favorite women's player. Magic's passing, floor game and leadership were unparalleled. I feel the same about Paige's. Magic was an all-timer after the 1986 season. Paige is an all-timer at UConn even with the injuries. But what I'd love is for Paige to become the Magic of 1987 and onward. In the 1986 offseason Riley went to Magic and told him he had to become the primary scorer as Kareem was aging. Magic had to adjust his game and make a concerted effort to look for his shot more. He did and won his first MVP and over his final five full seasons won three total MVPs and two more titles while becoming much more aggressive with his own shot. It's just a [I]touch[/I] more selfish but as others have mentioned it actually becomes an unselfish act because it's the team's best chance at winning. [/QUOTE]
