Magic Johnson.
For those who do not know the great NBA all-star, Magic Johnson. He was a great basketball player. He played the point guard position with a sort of "Magic" he had this ability to light up a crowd with his finesse on the court. Magic to this day is still a household name. Sadly to say he retired at a young age. To young. To naive. To disappointed. Sadly Magic was tested for HIV positive. He was forced to retire due to the fact the Disease couldn't make him perform the way he used to. It was heartbreaking to fans, families, and the rest of the United States. Magic had the choice to fall off the face of the earth or he could be the face of this upcoming disease and fight for awareness. Magic being the leader he was decided to fight for the awareness of practicing safe sex. It takes much courage to be the face of this disappointing disease. Magic's life just changed just like that. People couldn't just except him. Yet Magic knows that there are better days to come. He still fights this on going disease 20 years later.

I'm guessing you saw ESPN's special on Sunday.
ReplyDeleteMan. That was some good stuff. The part with the little black girl who was crying might be the saddest thing I've ever seen (top 5 for sure).
