    Magic's explanation of the unique and wonderful way in which he played the gameAs his collaborator, Roy Johnson (no relation) writes in his introduction:
    "Magic's game is simple, fundamental basketball.  It's reading defenses,
    predicting an opening before the opposition even realizes it's there.
    It's rotating from the weak side in perfect synchronization
    with his teammates so that one lapse can be converted into points.
    Most of all it's winning, winning, and winning again."
    With plenty of memories and stories about his childhood, college years,
    the NBA and the people in his life who influenced him.
