his piece honors the brilliance, vision, and cultural impact of Magic Johnson—a tribute to the architect of Showtime and one of the most electrifying leaders in basketball history.
 
The base is a vintage Los Angeles Lakers purple crewneck, rich in tone and nostalgic in feel. On the front, a handcrafted fabric portrait captures Magic in motion—mid-signature pass—frozen in the exact split second that defined his greatness. Each element is hand-cut and layered with precision, giving depth to the jersey folds, the extension of his arms, and the energy in the play. The craftsmanship mirrors his creativity—controlled, dynamic, visionary.
 
Behind the foreground image, rendered in bold Laker gold, is a powerful silhouette of Magic rising for one of his iconic layups. The silhouette sits subtly in the background, symbolizing his versatility—the ability to score, distribute, and dominate from any position. Purple and gold collide in a layered visual narrative that speaks to dynasty, championships, and legacy.
 
The back of the crewneck transforms into a classic jersey-style deck: his name arched proudly across the shoulders, with the legendary number 32 centered beneath it. The typography is bold and athletic, honoring his time with the Los Angeles Lakers while giving the piece a timeless varsity aesthetic.
 
As with every Greatness Was When garment, this is not printed—it is constructed. Hand-cut fabric. Hand-placed panels. Hand-stitched storytelling.
 
A wearable monument to Showtime.
A tribute to vision.
A celebration of 32.
