USA TODAY panelists name MSU great Magic Johnson the No. 4 best player in NBA history

USA TODAY recently dropped their definitive list of the greatest 75 players in NBA history and Michigan State basketball was represented by one of the all-time great Spartans in a prominent position. Earvin ‘Magic’ Johnson was named the No. 4 best player in NBA history by the USA TODAY panelists.

This seems like an absolute no brainer of a ranking for Magic and it’s nice to see someone get it right. After the obvious top-3 (you’ll have to subscribe to see how they were ordered) of Lebron James, Michael Jordan and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Magic is the obvious next player in line, with Bill Russell and Wilt Chamberlain coming right after.
