Magic Johnson learned a painful lesson as an NBA coach for 16 games, his Lakers went 5-11 at the end of the 1993-94 season. It was once most eloquently stated by Johnny Kerr, a star center from the 1950s and 1960s who coached the expansion Chicago Bulls: That's five guys running around with my paycheck.
Johnson orchestrated basketball teams as magically as anyone ever has in basketball history.
It's another thing when you are the conductor without any ability to make music.
