I remember that retirement speech as a kid… My mom and i were both crying and i remember her saying “son, that man IS los angeles and we will never see another player like him” of course she was right… Magic was the reason i love basketball and im so glad hes doing okay and still gracing us with that wonderful smile of his! He was a point god!
I’m a larry fan because he wasn’t flashy and that’s what made him flashy but I’ve always liked magic because he just comes across as a good guy even through the t.v he just always seemed like that good dude friend you had in school the kind of person when your having a horrible time something bad happened and he would be like dude it’s OK man things will be fine just that guy who cheers you up
I could be wrong but I doubt that Magic ever really contracted the HIV virus, and I will tell you why. We obviously know that Magic had a lot of money from playing basketball and the Lakers were no doubt one of the greatest teams if not the best team in the 80s. They won 5 championships in 9 final appearances and Magic was the most accomplished player from the Showtime Lakers. He won 3 MVPs and was the best passer and ball handler in the game at that time. But once they lost to MJs Bulls in 1991 suddenly Magic had to step down from the game. How ironic that suddenly Magic as big as he was had to retire from the Lakers. My theory is that he was pushed out of the league from winning too much and the league wanted to put Jordan and the Bulls on the map and have them win as much as they did. Think about it, when HIV first came out like Doctor Ho said, there was very little to no research on how to combate the virus and Magic never got skinny and Shriveled up. So that debunks the possibility that Magic had HIV. I think he never had AIDS. Now we are 31 years removed from the day he announced he had to retire because of the HIV he had obtained and Magic is bigger and healthier than ever. Again, Magic never had HIV.
