You askin’ about Magic Johnson’s rings? That man, he got a bunch! He played for the Lakers, you know, that team in Los Angeles. He was somethin’ else, that Magic. They called him Magic ’cause he was like magic on that court. He got five NBA championship rings, I tell ya, five!
Magic Johnson, He Got Five Rings!
First one he got was back in, let me think, 1980. Yeah, 1980. He was just a young fella then, but he played like he’d been doin’ it forever. They won against the 76ers that year. A good team, the 76ers, but not good enough for Magic and his Lakers. The Lakers won that one.
Then, two years later, in 1982, he got another one. Beat the 76ers again! Magic, he just kept winnin’. I remember folks saying he could play any position on the court. That’s how good he was. He could play all five positions. Can you believe that?
- 1980, he got one.
- 1982, he got another one.
He didn’t win in ’83. The 76ers finally got ’em that year. But don’t you worry, Magic came back strong. He was like a man on a mission.
In 1985, bam! Another ring. This time they beat those Celtics. Oh, the Celtics and the Lakers, they had some battles, I tell ya. But Magic Johnson, he led the Lakers to victory. Magic Johnson’s rings collection, it was growin’!
More Rings for Magic!
Then came 1987. Another championship. Another ring for Magic. He was unstoppable. They won again against the Celtics. Those were some good games, I remember watchin’ ’em on the TV. Everyone was talkin’ about Magic Johnson and his Lakers.
And then, just one more for good measure, in 1988, he did it again. Five rings! Five NBA championship rings. That’s a lot of bling, ain’t it? That’s a lot of wins, that was a lot of good basketball right there in those years.
- 1985, another ring against the Celtics.
- 1987, yep, he did it again.
- 1988, that’s five, count ’em, five rings!
That Magic, he played for 13 years. That is a long time in that game. And in all those years, he took the Lakers to the finals nine times. Nine! That’s almost every year he played! They won a lot of games with Magic, a lot. I heard they won somethin’ like 59 games a season with him. That’s more than a little bit, I reckon.
Five Rings for Magic Johnson, A Whole Lot of Wins
So, when you talk about Magic Johnson rings, you talkin’ about five championship rings. Five times his team was the best in the whole league. He was a winner, that Magic Johnson. One of the best to ever play the game.
I heard tell that some fella named Bill Russell, he won even more rings than Magic. Eleven, they say! But five is still a whole heap, and Magic, he earned every one of ’em. He played hard, he played smart, and he led his team to victory.
I also heard that Magic Johnson, he got even more rings now, not from playing, but from ownin’ teams. He is a smart man, he made good decisions with the money he won from playin’ basketball. I heard he got 15 rings now. That is a lot, I almost cannot count that much. But anyway, he was a good player and he deserves it.
Nowadays, there are some players who got rings with three different teams. That is a lot of moving around. I don’t know them all. I think one is called LeBron James. But I still think Magic Johnson’s five rings are more impressive. Because he played in one team and won all five. That is something, right?
So yeah, Magic Johnson. Five rings. Remember that. He was one of the greats. A real legend. He sure did make those Lakers games excitin’, I can tell you that much. I remember watchin’ with my neighbor, we sure yelled a lot during those games, especially when Magic did one of his magic moves. Good times, good times. He was the best, that Magic Johnson. He really was somethin’ else, with all those Magic Johnson rings.
