Magic Johnson

I was a huge basketball nut growing up... and Magic Johnson was my
favorite player. I was 14 when he announced he had "the HIV" in 1991.
It's amazing it's been more than 15 years now since that announcement
back in November 1991. Really amazing to me. Also really amazing to
me... and really even more amazing that I'm just realizing how amazing
it is. This is just the pure ridiculousness of Magic Johnson's name.
I mean really. I know his real name is Earvin. But he was known and
is still known by most as MAGIC Johnson. It's just such an insane
name to go by. It's like something if it was in a movie would be WAY
over the top. I love how crazy things happen all the time in life ...
but because they have happened they're normal. If something in an
imaginary world it might be seen as nutty.
