If Magic Johnson never contracted HIV, How many more NBA Titles would he have won?

Question

Remember in 1991 James Worthy and Byron Scott were Hurt.
I think the Lakers would have rebounded in 92 and most likely won 2 more Championships.

What do you think?

Answer 1

Not much because when the Bulls destroyed the Lakers and won their first championship, it signaled the beginning of an era for the Bulls and the end of another era for the Lakers. Even if Magic end up playing a few more years, he would still face the fate of so many former NBA stars like Charles Barkley, Karl Malone, Shawn Kemp, and Clyde Drexler who have all had their chance at a title but destroyed by MJ's Bulls in the process.

Answer 2

None. He didn't have HIV anyway. It was all a ploy by the NBA. Just like Jordan. Commish had Jordan retire for a year before the news got out that Michael bet on basketball like he does on Golf. Sat a year and came back. News never broke. Back to Magic. There was another guy in the NBA that wanted Championships too. Both were champions. Both kept each other in check when it came to awards, championships, etc. My man Bird. NBA offered Magic boocoo money to say he had HIV. Why? Cause who was a bigger spokesperson about the risks of unprotected sex than Earvin "MAGIC" Johnson. Just one guys opinion. Don't make it right. Just wanted to get it off my chest. Besides Kobe would have demanded a trade and Jerry Buss or West would have traded the biggest man in basketball...SHAQ..I mean Magic. hahahahahahahhahahhah

Answer 3

If Magic played for three more years, i could see him and the Lakers going to the Finals only once but would win a championship. He'll get his revenge on Jordan and the Bulls. His last two seasons would end in defeat enroute to the Western conference finals at the hands of the Trailblazers (or Suns), most likely

Answer 4

Ain't nobody fault Magic Johnson lost to the greatest player of all-time and lied about having HIV because he was embarrassed. Michael Jordan took what was rightfully his. He came in like a soldier and snatched that ****. Magic Johnson wasn't even the Nba champion when Michael Jordan beat him. Now the real question is how many titles would Jordan have if he didn't make a fool of himself by trying to play baseball and if Phil and the crew didn't retire after1998. Magic Johnson lucky Jordan didn't get in the finals earlier. Yeah, Magic got 5 rings but Jordan got 6 and never played with the greatest center of all-time like Magic did. Isn't Jordan the only swingman to win it by himself and don't give me them whack *** pistons

Answer 5

I think maybe 1 more, the question is how many would they
have won if Boston had Len Bias, he was as gifted as
Jordan and just as hard a competitor. I saw him win games
for Maryland by himself, steal dunk, block, and hit jumpers.
As a Laker fan, wish he would have played against Kareem
Magic and Worth, Cooper, Scott...

Answer 6

He would have most likely won at least two more for sure. He was definitely a big part of the Lakers (obviously) and made all the difference in a great team, and a championship team.

Answer 7

The Lakers were starting a decline there and it would've been tough for the old men to stay healthy for playoff runs. Plus, the Rockets and then the Bulls were some pretty good teams!

Answer 8

Sorry buddy, but once Jordan won his first title he figured a way to make sure he would win every time. Magic wouldn't have won any more titles, but he would still win alot of games.

Answer 9

Possibly 2 but i would say just 1

Answer 10

i didnt think he would have won 2 more because he was toward at the end of his career but would came close but wouldnt win
