Is the NBA basketball team Orlando Magic named after Magic Johnson?
What is that team named after? How did Magic Johnson get the name? Was he born with that name?

According to Wikipedia, Magic Johnson (real name: Earvin) was first called “Magic” in high school, by a local sportswriter. I assume the moniker referred to his extraordinary skill on the court.
