The showdown between the famous and the famous has never ended from the beginning. No, a pair of historical celebrities are about to continue to play out in the NBA league, and this duel not only affects the reputation of the individual, but also indirectly affects the operation of the team.
According to woj's revelations, the Lakers decided to sack Mitch and Jim Bass and hire Magic "Johnson" as the new president of the Lakers. The Lakers completely bid farewell to the era of Mickey and Bath Jr., and this also means that the rebuilding of the Lakers begins with the president. According to the experience of the NBA hiring a president, mingsu is the president, the upper limit is very high, the lower limit is very low, which is a good thing for the Lakers. It also means that the rivalry with "Big Bird" Bird during the Magic "Johnson" player period continues into management.
Johnson's rivalry with Bird began as early as his college career, with the Magician first leading the University of Michigan to an NCAA final to defeat Indiana State university to win the NCAA championship. After landing in the NBA, they both turned into eye-catching stars as soon as they appeared. In the rookie season, Bird eventually won the best rookie with a comprehensive data of 21 points, 10.4 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game to beat the Magicians to average 18 points, 7.7 rebounds and 7.7 assists per game. But the magician made history, he won the championship trophy. Especially in the sixth game of the Finals, he replaced Abdul-Jabbar as a center, and achieved a staggering 42 points, 15 rebounds, 7 assists and 3 steals, and finally Johnson also won the FMBP of the year, becoming the youngest FMVP in history, only 20 years old.
The wonderful showdown between the two famous stars is once again staged on the NBA field, which is really exciting. Because Bird entered management before Johnson, he has also achieved impressive results in recent years. So, what heights does Johnson need to reach to surpass Bird?
Bird has been very successful since he became a head coach. When he was a coach, Bird led the team to the finals; when he was a manager, except for a period of time granger single belt, other times it has been a competitive team, and in the previous years it was the East Finals team, which was no bleaker than when he was a player. Of course, Bird also did something wrong. Before the 2014 trade deadline, Bird traded Grant for Evan Turner, trading the captain in exchange for a tumor, which also led to chaos in the locker room, and the momentum that had been singing all the way was gradually lost. In addition, Bird's management level is remarkable.
So, how much effort does Johnson need to make to reach Bird's heights? At the very least, we must first tear the Lakers down and rebuild, and then pull the Lakers back to the playoffs in recent years and become a favorable competitive team in the playoffs.
In general, for Johnson, the Lakers' reconstruction work is urgent, and only by rebuilding as soon as possible can we see the long-lost light as soon as possible.
