Magic’s very busy Johnson Posted by Scott Carefoot There’s a new Jerry West biography coming out this week called “Jerry West: The Life and Legend of a Basketball Icon.” While the book is about West, the passage that is sure to attract the most media attention is this juicy tidbit about Magic Johnson in the final chapter: “That November, as a new season was set to open, Magic Johnson announced to the world that he was HIV positive, a stunning event that brought revelations about the climate of sexual frivolity around the Lakers. Johnson admitted he had been sleeping with 300-500 people a year. The team’s locker room, and its sauna, had been a place where the star and other players had entertained women, even right after games. Johnson would retire to the sauna after a game, have sex, then put on a robe and return to the locker room for his post-game media interviews. How far had the team gone in condoning such questionable behavior? ‘I cared,’ West said in his interviews for this book. ‘I did things for those guys. It was ridiculous, some of the things I did for those guys. If the public knew they’d be outraged. It was a pretty crazy period for us.’” I bolded that one sentence for emphasis. 300 to 500 people a year! And am I reading too much into this when I notice that the word “people” is used instead of “women”? We’ve all heard the rumours, right? Anyway, it seems to me that Jeff Pearlman needs to get started writing the definitive unauthorized Magic Johnson biography, pronto. http://blogs.thescore.com/nba/2010/02/22/magics-very-busy-johnson/
Don't ask me to explain it, but I never liked Magic. And hate him more as I hear/see more of his ridiculous analysis.
So much hate for a guy who spread so much love. <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/EA_IsMRC4FI&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/EA_IsMRC4FI&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>
This is very revealing that West said "people" instead of the more natural "women" or "girls". It's also very telling about Magic's sexual stamina. He has enough time to go from the game to sauna to post-game interview. That's not even a full minute. I know he is tired after a game, but I figure he takes at least 10 minutes for some sex.
well, it was the 80's. they were probably coked up more than half the time and didn't know or care if it was a ****, donkey or taco.
This wikipedia entry makes sense now.... "By the 1984–85 season, the Lakers' "Showtime" era was in full swing." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Angeles_Lakers And in continuance of Lakers pride..... SHOWTIME!! Spoiler http://photos-f.ak.fbcdn.net/hp hotos-ak-snc3/hs222.snc3/20953_1360642375600_1217761872_31086172_2478040_n.jpg NSFW
This is kind of sick sad but It could be worse Exhibit A: Rocket River Who knew both MJ's were douches?
When players were calling for "Magic Johnson" were they actually referring to him or his little soldier?
For some reason, I really never liked Magic. I don't know what it was about him, he smiled alot, which made him likeable to some people, but to me it made me just more pissed off then anything. He seems like the type of person who will screw you at all costs, ala screwing Isaiah Thomas. I've heard that he screwed over so many people when opening up new businesses. I also hate his commentating, dude always rides the Lakers so hard! He's even more of a homer than JVG.
it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out if you got HIV when he did in America that it was likely from homosexual behavior.
Phew. For a moment there I thought the internet had gone mad and inexplicably started a thread on this guy:
