Now, let’s have an in depth knowledge about the basketball legend, Magic Johnson.

 

Earvin Johnson Jr. was born on August 14, 1959 in Lansing, Michigan. From a large family, Johnson grew up with nine brothers and sisters.

Both of his parents worked- his father for the General Motors plant in town and was mother as a school custodian. He had a passion for basketball and would start to practice as early as 7:30 am.

 

Talk to Paul TTP Magic Johnson’s Lists Former Bel-Air Estate With Indoor Basketball Court for $14.5M Living 2Johnson earned his name “Magic” after a sports writer witnessed him score 36 points, 16 rebounds and 16 assists while playing competitive basketball.

Johnson continued to play basketball while in college. He stood at six feet nine inches tall and was an impressive point guard–helping his team clinch a Big Ten title by helping them win the conference.

In the following year, he led Michigan State to the NCAA Finals. They faced off against Indiana State University. In one of the most famous matchups in college basketball history, Johnson played head-to-head with Indiana’s star forward, Larry Bird.

The Spartans proved victorious, and the rivalry between Johnson and Bird would continue in their days with the NBA.

After two years of college, Johnson was drafted and excelled with the Lakers in his first season. He averaged 18 points and 7.7 rebounds a game.

Johnson, of the LA Lakers, led his team to victory with four championship games in six and won the NBA Finals MVP. The LA Lakers included some strong players such as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Jamaal Wilkes and Norm Nixon.

During Johnson’s third season with the Lakers, the Lakers made the finals and took home the championship. For the second time in his pro career, Johnson led the Lakers to victory and accomplished another NBA title.

Additionally, Johnson scored 13 points and grabbed 13 rebounds, dishing out 13 assists in Game 6 of the 1982 Finals. The following season (1982-1983) saw the third Finals matchup between the Lakers and the 76ers in four years; Johnson once again took home series MVP honors.

In the 1984 NBA Finals, Magic Johnson again encountered rival Larry Bird, who had signed with the Boston Celtics. This was the first of several games between the two teams.

The 1984 NBA yet again showcased the bitter championship rivalry between the Los Angeles Lakers and Boston Celtics. Despite a Finals victory from the Lakers, the Celtics came back with four consecutive hard fought championships in 1986, 1987, 1988, and 1991.

With his best season in the late 1980s, and wins in the 1987 NBA Finals and thereafter, Johnson won his third and final MVP.

As a result of his 23.9 points per game average, Johnson was soon earning him the regular-season NBA MVP award. He would win the award again in 1989 and 1990.

 

In November 1991, Magic Johnson retired after revealing he had HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. He believed he transmitted the virus through unprotected sexual activity.

Johnson’s diagnosis was especially hard. He learned he had the disease while his wife Cookie was pregnant with their first child, but thankfully both his wife and son tested negative for HIV.

Additionally, while many people assumed that HIV primarily applied to homosexuals or IV drug users, this wasn’t typically the case.

It is thanks to Johnson’s decision to go public with his personal medical condition that awareness of HIV/AIDS reached new heights. Johnson established the Magic Johnson Foundation in 1992 to support research initiatives and awareness programs related to HIV/AIDS.

Heroically facing discrimination and criticism, Johnnson played in the 1992 Summer Olympic Games despite already having announced his retirement. Joined by Michael Jordan, who was still an “untouchable”, and Bird, Johnson helped bring home gold for the American Dream Team.

 

For the upcoming NBA season, he wanted to return to professional basketball, but fear from other players forced him to drop that plan.

With other options, Johnson wrote his last book called: My Life in 1992. In this text, he had written about basketball previously with titles: ‘Magic (1983)’ and ‘Magic’s Touch’ in 1989.

In 1996, Johnson returned to the Lakers for a few months as a player. He retired for good from the team in April of that same year, leaving behind an impressive legacy.

In his professional career, Johnson became the NBA’s all-time leader in points and assists, as well in steals. In addition, he holds the record for highest assists per game at 11.2, a title he is still holding today.

In 1996 Johnson was named one of the 50 greatest players in NBA history, and then inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 2002.

 

Magic Johnson became a powerful force in business. He founded Magic Johnson Enterprises, which has total holdings worth over $1 billion.

Much of his philosophy on business has focused on developing urban areas and bringing Starbucks coffee franchises and movie theaters into underserved communities. In 2008, he shared his secrets for business with the book 32 Ways to be a Champion in Business.

Johnson returned to the Lakers as president of basketball operations in early 2017. In July 2018, Johnson signed mega-star free agent LeBron James. However, he resigned his post at the end of the NBA season.
