More quotes about Magic:

"When you talk about playing the game the right way, I don't think any player who's ever played has done it as consistently as him." Larry Brown


"Every time I've seen [Magic], I'm always happier. If I ever had an idol, he's probably my idol.
He was the best player I ever played against. There wasn't anything out there he couldn't do." Larry Bird


"He absolutely loved the game and he brought a very special joy to it.
I've watched him grow from a young, gushing, enthusiastic kid to a very polished adult. He's made a tremendous impact in Los Angeles, but more importantly he's bigger than life outside of Los Angeles." Jerry West


"Magic was my favorite player as a kid, besides my dad [Joe "Jelly Bean" Bryant], of course. I tried to do all the stuff he was doing back in those days when the Lakers were winning championships. I loved the way Magic got everybody involved in the game – his teammates, fans, everybody." Kobe Bryant

My top 3:

I don't care if it's not my favorite all-time player:
"One man can be a crucial ingredient on a team, but one man cannot make a team.", Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

"This man was a bonafide scrub! He can't play! No disrespect whatsoever, but I'm sorry to tell everybody the truth. The man cannot play the game of basketball. He has small hands, he can't catch the ball. He has bad feet, he can't really move. Even though he's mobile, he doesn't really know what he's doing. He doesn't have a post move, that he can put to memory and do two times in a row. He has no game whatsoever. He plays NO defense, doesn't have the heart, the passion, or anything that comes with it!"

-Stephen A. Smith on Kwame Brown
