His flashy style of play fit perfectly in LA as his success captivated fans. The superstar point guard immediately won a championship in his first season with the Lakers before winning four more to dominate the 1980s. The "Showtime Era" is one of the most memorable stretches of basketball in the league's history and Magic has much to do with it. He not only won three NBA Finals MVP awards, but also three regular season MVP Awards. With the brand of Los Angeles sports already at a high coming off the 1988 championship, the Los Angeles Kings made waves of their own by acquiring Wayne Gretzky, the greatest hockey player of all time. This brought popularity to hockey that California had never seen before and put the Kings on the map. Both Magic and Gretzky continued to dominate while fans packed the Forum to watch each of these stars. Gretzky took the Kings to their first ever Stanley Cup Finals while Johnson helped lead the Lakers to two more NBA Finals appearances since the trade. Having two players at the top of their sports in the same city is a time Los Angeles will never forget.This Sports Illustrated cover print is autographed by Magic Johnson with a black paint pen. Johnson's signature was witnessed by an Upper Deck representative as part of UDA's 5-step authentication process.
