"After protests from his fellow players..."

Ambiguous statement in the introduction. Were the players protesting against Johnson (for example, saying he didn't deserve the MVP award) or in support of him (for example, saying he was risking his health by returning to play)? Billfalls (talk) 00:00, 26 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

  • Added a brief clarification in the lead. There probably shouldn't be too much on it in the lead as it is supposed to be a summary of the body, but the extra addition should make it clearer. Giants2008 (Talk) 17:17, 21 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

Semi-protected edit request on 24 August 2023

Template:Edit semi-protected B&W photo of Pat Riley and Magic Johnson incorrectly identifies the third person in the photo as Jerry West. That individual is not Jerry West, and that citation should be removed. Goyato (talk) 00:24, 24 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

Assuming it's this photo, that is Jerry West with Pat Riley and Magic. The source the image comes from says so as well. – Muboshgu (talk) 01:10, 24 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
That's not Jerry West. – 2.O.Boxing 01:12, 24 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
Yes, it is. – Muboshgu (talk) 01:30, 24 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
The source is wrong. This was West in 1988, a year before the photo in question. – 2.O.Boxing 01:44, 24 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

Billionaire

Should be added that he is a billionaire according to Forbes.com & CNN ([1], [2]). 65.88.88.56 (talk) 22:09, 20 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

Template:Edit semi-protected Magic Johnson was 6'7-1/4" in socks at the 1992 Olympic games. If you look at any photograph or video of Larry Bird and Magic Johnson together, Magic is easily 2" shorter than Bird, who was listed at 6'9", but was actually 6'9-3/4". 66.186.107.210 (talk) 08:08, 8 February 2025 (UTC)Reply
