Don't worry, we didn't forget about the Johnson named Magic. Born with the name Earvin, Johnson earned his famous nickname when he only 15 playing for Everett High School in what U.S. city?

Magic is famously from Lansing, the home of Michigan State, where he went on to play college ball. At Everett High School, Johnson really stood out, and Fred Stabley Jr., a sports writer for the Lansing State Journal, gave him the moniker "Magic".
