Hall of Fame guard Magic Johnson has lived many lives: player, commentator, executive, humanitarian, etc.
None of Johnson's endeavors, however, have quite captured the public's imagination like his stint as a Twitter user. The legendary Laker's AP wire-like descriptions of NBA happenings—often sent well after a game has ended—have endeared him to a generation less familiar with Johnson’s on-court dominance.
In short, Johnson’s Twitter usage has made him relatable, and a flub after the Nuggets’ NBA championship on Monday evening contributed to that image.
