Will they call him Too Tall Johnson this year? Probably not, although Magic does look like he's 12-feet tall here. He's actually leaning against a basket barely five feet off the ground hinged to the wall of the Loyola-Marymount gym. Magic and rest of the Lakers opened training camp yesterday. Photograph dated: October 2, 1981.
