I moved to LA in 1980. I was fortunate enough to be there during the Showtime Era. Imagine Magic, Kareem, James Worthy, Norm Nixon, Jamaal Wilkes and Kurt Rambis in one team. They’re amazing. Of course the superstars of that team are Kareem and Magic. That’s the reason why I have both basketball cards. It allows me to collect the great players of the game. The Ervin Johnson basketball card is my favorite.

The Ervin Johnson basketball card is a collector’s item. It is not worth very much today, but hopefully someday. Even if it doesn’t appreciate, I still love it. Any basketball card collection worth his mettle should have this card. He is considered one of the best, if not the best, Laker who ever played. No disrespect to Jerry West.
