How Magic Johnson Became A Laker

On Wednesday I mentioned how a weird trade two years earlier led to the Lakers' selection of James Worthy in the 1982 draft. Now the new site NBATradetracker.net has a video breakdown of how various little trades, twists and turns led to the Lakers' pick of Magic Johnson in 1979. It's just awesome and if you don't watch it right this second, I don't know if we can hang anymore.

H/T Ball Don't Lie.
