It still blows my mind Ervin Johnson convinced the world while in college to call him.... MAGIC

I've always thought the same thing. Like, when I was a kid, for a few years I thought Magic was his actual name. It even sounds weird calling him Earvin Johnson.

I knew this sh*t was crazy when back in the day as a kid I rented Tecmo NBA Basketball on the NES and his fukking name in the game was Magic Johnson. Its not like the game was marketed around him, the developers just called him the same sh*t everyone does.

That would be like the latest Madden having "Megatron" on the Lions roster under M.

He changed it to Shammgod Wells as a high schooler, but changed it back in college. Something like that.

I think he just went by shammgod wells in HS then tried to do the same in college but they wouldn't let him cause he didn't legally change his name
