Magic Johnson LA Lakers Basketball Framed Original Art
Earvin Johnson is truly Magic. As point guard of the Los Angeles Lakers, he led his team to five championships during the 1980s claiming three NBA Playoff MVP awards and NBA MVP awards each. With Showtime starring Magic and the Lakers team, the Los Angeles team and the sport as a whole was rejuvenated. Johnson's diligent playing even inspired the addition of the term triple-double to the basketball lexicon. On June 5, 2002, Earvin Magic Johnson was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame. This Magic Johnson Original Pencil Drawing By Well-Known Artist, Carter, is a One-Of-A-Kind. This awesome Original Drawing of Magic is framed and triple matted with the Lakers colors. It is hand-signed and dated 91 in pencil, on the lower right, by the Artist. This portrait of Magic was featured in Beckett Sports Art Gallery Issue in August of 1992. The framed dimensions are 16 1/4 X 20 1/4. The Original Drawing and signature of the Artist are in excellent condition; the frame has a few minor flaws. Copyright 1991, Carter.
