    Shouldn’t even be a question. It’s Magic, and it’s not even remotely debatable.

  2. Young-G0ku

    Magic and probably will remain that way for a very long time. Forgot his name but I’ll go with dude from the spurs at second best or Webber

  3. bigguy003

    Better question is who is the worst Michigan-born NBA player? Assuming that the player was at least on a roster for a full season and no two-way contract bullshit.

    Well it’s definitely not magic. Every player on this list is better than him. McGee is what magic always hoped to be.

  5. confused-koala

    3rd might actually be a fun debate, Magic is 1 and Iceman is 2

  6. RobertKraftMacAndChe

    Why you gotta put Mr. Tillman up there

  7. InsideTheEngine

    i can’t stand magic johnson and even i would say this is blatant disrespect lol

  8. Affectionate_Ad5068

    I mean obviously magic as he’s like one of the best ever period

  9. BunnyDubu_

    Make a new post and ask who’s the second best cause it’s so obvious who’s first tbf lol

    It’s Magic and not even close. Watching the Lakers/Buss family doc on Hulu, Magic said his plan after being drafted by the Lakers was to play his rookie contract then sign with Detroit.

    Dr. Buss wisely built a strong personal relationship that convinced Erving to spend his career there. I imagine the lifestyle certainly helped, too.

    It’s magic Johnson and I hate saying this term but it really isn’t close

  12. thisguy161

    But why did you put him in a pistons jersey to ask this?

  13. justkatmj

    Magic. List didn’t include Jason Richardson, Glen Rice, Derrick Coleman, Terry Mills, Roy Tarpley, Rudy Tomjanovich and many more cats.

  14. ParticularBox8858

    The Pistons tried, I think they offered their entire roster for Magic

  15. Frickalope67

    Disrespectful to Magic and honestly to IceMan too

  16. from_whereiggypopped

    john long belongs on this list with some of the other inclusions..but would land far behind magic

  17. cindad83

    There are guys like Howard Eisley, BJ Armstrong, Charlie Bell III, Shane Battier, Voshon Leonard, there is a whole host of guys, who carved out serious careers…

  18. Historical-Pause-401

    Shout out to javale even being on this list lmaoooo

  19. aTROLLwithBlades

    Hardy has looked great recently but only time will tell lol

  20. herbaliciouswwweed

    Don’t need the rest of the list after Magic, but since there is one, where is Battier?

  21. King_Artis

    Surprised Jason Richardson wasn’t included

    But it’s obviously Magic, dude was the face of the league at one point and still talked about too this day. Next is might be either Iceman, C.Webb or DBook, leaning Iceman though

  22. Ok_Effort8330

    Magic is the easy winner in my book, and I am a Wolverine fan. Dude was on another level and could play every position.

  23. NorthernSpade

    Bro cmon it’s Magic and everyone else isn’t even on the same planet.

  24. Delicious-Skill-617

    1) I don’t think Rick Barry is from Michigan, 2) magic hands down is the best, 3) Kuzma in no way should be on this list (Jason Richardson, Dan Majerle, and my little sister are all better, 4) I think Glenn Rice is # 2.

    Done after picture number one. Couldn’t have put him in a sparty jersey?
