Three former Lansing School District athletes have won NBA Championships. They are all from different eras, but two superstars did overlap with playing days.
First, there is the one and only Earvin Magic Johnson Jr. Magic won a State Championship at Everett High School in 1977 and his head coach was George Fox. He also won an NCAA Championship at MSU beating Larry Bird and Indiana State in Salt Lake City. Bird’s team was undefeated going into that great game. After college, it was Tinsel Town for Earvin where he played many years with the Los Angeles Lakers. There he won five NBA Championships and received multiple awards for his greatness on the hardwood. He was simply Magic!
