Today (1992): Magic Johnson's #32 Jersey is Retired By Lakers
February 16, 1992
On this day 18 years ago, Magic Johnsonโs iconic #32 jersey number was retired by the Los Angeles Lakers โ which was extremely odd since this event was followed by two different comebacks to the NBA.ย Unlike Michael Jordan, Magic was allowed to wear his previously-retired jersey during his comeback stints.
We enjoy featuring iconic numbers on our podcast, and #32 throughout sports is nothing short of iconic.ย Other than Magic Johnson, the short list of athletes that have worn the #32 includes: Magic Johnson, Marcus Allen, Jim Brown, Steve Carlton, Julius Erving, Sandy Koufax, Karl Malone, Shaquille OโNeal and O.J. Simpson.
