Earvin "Magic" Johnson, whose fluid play and uncanny court awareness allowed him to win titles at every level from high school to the NBA, was inducted on Friday into the Basketball Hall of Fame. Joining Johnson in the Class of 2002 were late Croatian star Drazen Petrovic; longtime college and pro coach Larry Brown; University of Arizona coach Lute Olson; North Carolina State women's coach Kay Yow; and the Harlem Globetrotters - the first team elected since 1963.
