Can Johnson Apply Magic Touch to Lakers in His New Challenge?
With Magic Johnson sure to give the current crop of Lakers a much-needed dose of enthusiasm, hopefully we’ll finally be able to see their full talents.

Sure, he can motivate players, but can he design defenses and offenses? By the way, with the current player roster, what was wrong with Randy Pfund?
