Magic Johnson announces his retirement from Basketball

[dadilpickle]

dude our health teacher showed us this during health when we were talking about STD's and during the HIV and AIDS section

[evoL1293]

It has been 20 years now ...

[mryjn420090]

Damn never thought in 20 years I would still see this dude on sportscenter

[rshandy]

your comment makes no sense and he has more money than you will EVER see if you lived 3 life times.

[rshandy]

You still make no sense..hence YOU are the ignorant one...come speak to me when you learn to make sense as well as type. Come disrespect me to my face then we can do it. As long as you are going to be one of these youtube cowards don't bother.

[rshandy]

yet again you make no sense..i guess there is no hope for you after all..i tried...three times to enlighten you but you are too far gone into ignorance..what you are saying has no effect on me so you are wastign your time and breath..you would never say anything you are saying here to my face & that is what matters to me... I refuse to go back and forth with someone that can't articulate words while typing to even make simple sense so here is where I end it.

[rshandy]

ha-ha sad that is all you have to come back with ha-ha..im done..that is funny though...pitiful but funny

[jeffnfoxylady1]

man i cried this day because my idol was leaving da best game in da world

[kontender1980]

man i was in 6th grade when this happen and he still look healthy i had two family members get hiv then aids and die must be nice to have money

[airwave2oo8]

damn

[Blitz7x]

Hooray for Protease Inhibitors keeping Magic alive.

[yankee4321]

I was in middle school when I heard that Magic had HIV ... dude still alive and healthy 18 years later. At that time I thought the guy didn't have 2 years let alone 18. Look's like the guy is going to die from old age and not AIDS.

[domephones]

Almost 18 years.

[rissax0]

a lot of people in the enterainment industry have the disease they just don't say anything

[SHAOLINSHADOWBOXER80]

Like who man? If someone who was famous had aids right now we would know about it. If you worked in the doctors office an a famous celebrity was coming in all the time because they had aids-guess what? You would call the biggest magazine -or- gossip rag and drop the dime to the highest bidder, no doubt man.

[abeasaff]

no man yourt wrong cause you can get home tests that knowone knows but you .

[redcheeks1025]

@rissax0 like who?

[SHAOLINSHADOWBOXER80]

Is "Magic" the only one famous left that has this? Think about everyone of note that had this-there dead now. I wonder how long he's going to live man. Anyone who thinks they will this long if they get aids is dumb, it's got to be because of all his $. I wonder who has it that we don't know about it, Magic's probably kicking himself for telling everyone, nobody would have though anything was wrong man-dumb. He could have said something else was wrong-sports injury.

[propsilence2005]

Since when does any virus have a cure? Virus (=) equals no cure. Only bacterial infections have cures. Lots of people missed Biology in school.

[jamesharvey101]

@propsilence2005 smallpox

[jessie11982]

@propsilence2005 Obviously neither did you, or your teachers lied to you, more probably your teachers lied to you, and even better still, they probably didn't realise they were lying to you. It's called "lies to children". Kind of like tell children that tidal patterns are caused by the moons grativational forces. Sort of true, but mostly not.

[ramy2303]

@propsilence2005 It's not a cure it's a treatment.

[rewriteny1]

Magic is a true spirit god bless him he is still doing his thing

[MandyBH25]

Juslom2002;

He's not dead because he has the money to buy the "best medication" in which billionaires can obtain to prolong their life.

[akieley]

ya'all think isiah wuz in da docta's office like a second after dis announcement. bet dat dude wuz fuck#ng scared as shizit.

[juslom2002]

how is this guy not dead yet?

[23addict]

he sleeps with money

[maritzio123]

Hiv positive people are espected to live a normal lifespan thanks to antiretroviral treatment.

[EddyARB]

His body is resistant, very few people are like this.

[BZOE]

talk proper and stop calling each other niggers, the second a white person call u that yall wanna defend urself

[trethegreatwilliams]

that niggas aids is gone he got all that money so i know he has a cure

[TheHighHardOne]

Married,two kids.....and very blessed.I don't take it for granted ever! For those who are sick,keep the hope and hopefully the spiritual side of you will prevail.

[ZEROEVILDARKCOOL]

MAN IM SO LUCKY NOT TO GET STDS:(

[ArchaicRevivalx2012]

You're a low life.

[AusAsia]

HIV is a marginally overrated as if it were a death sentence. The fact is we all have death sentences. Ultimately we all die. Just taking the right antiretroviral drugs properly and living healthily could add on decades.

[Led7Zepp]

There is no HIV virus. A virus does not stay dormant for 20 years. When is this HIV lie going to be exposed and the liars put in jail? When Magic dies at the age of 90 years old, they'll say it was HIV that killed him. That's how absurd this HIV bullshit is.

[AB5309]

u talk total and utter bullshit. there is such a thing as the hiv virus i should know cause i do work with people that are HIV POSITIVE. you need to learn the facts before you go round spreading your crap, and hiv wont kill magic it will be of old age hopefully

[Led7Zepp]

You're a moron. No virus lies dormant for decades. Even Dr. Gallo, the guy that came up w/ the lie about HIV admits the same. You're probably killing people w/ AZT. These people that are sick have suppressed immunity from other catagories. Please e-mail me a picture of the HIV virus.  It shouldn't be that difficult.

[AB5309]

If HIV does not exist what were people dying with in the 1980?Full detail please!!!!

[AB5309]

i see you havent replied to my comments. its probably because you know that i am right and the virus does exist. hiv does not lie dormont in the your system, you need to suppres the virus and the only way you can do that is by taking anti retroviral drugs. the only moron on this planet is you. afterall why would doctors make patients take highly toxic drugs which make them feel like complete shit if it doesnt exist.

[Led7Zepp]

Dr. Peter Duesberg has offered in his book Inventing the AIDS Virus an alternative hypothesis on HIV/AIDS, asserting that recreational and pharmaceutical drug use (especially AZT, a drug used in the treatment of AIDS) and not HIV are the primary causes of AIDS outside Africa (misdiagnosed malnutrition). He considers AIDS diseases as markers for drug use, e.g. use of alkyl nitrites among some homosexuals.

[maritzio123]

Indeed, no virus lies dormant for decades. Hiv is no exeption: in fact it kills CD4 cells from the very first day. Only, it take years to take the CD4 cells number from between 600 and 1000 to under 200, when troubles really start.

Peter Duesberg is an idiot.

[Led7Zepp]

Intelligence lies dormont in your brain. Gooogle Dr. Peter Duesberg and check out the two videos I have posted in my video log.

[lehighmvp]

dickhead, there is a virus, and if u believe the bullshit you sayin....then kill yourself

[lasigmaman]

HIV will do it first.

Apologies Doctor Led

[ukhistorian]

During that weekend my dad was hunting and my uncle said "You here what happenend to Magic Johnson?" And my dad said "He has AIDS?" He was kinda close but still Magic was one hell of a player. And it was to see him like that.

[hisholyhoviness]

i was eight years old.first time i saw my father in tears.

[Naruto7576]

i remember i was so sad i crapped my pants and ate it magic was the greatest player to ever live

[bpayton07]

I remember when I saw Magic's announcement, tears came rolling down my eyes. However, Magic has shown us all that he is a champion off of the basketball court as he was on it. God bless you, Magic!!

[chapeauetbarbe]

I remember how crushing this was when he announced this, I was 19 years old.

[ka1709]

calm and brave.

[3DStoneCt]

Magic never had HIV. What woman you know stays with a man who cheats on her, picks up HIV, and continues to sleep with him? Magic never had it! This is a multi-billion dollar business and he retires right when Jordan starts to win while Jordan is the cash cow of the NBA...? Come on? Magic took a back seat so Mike could win more rings or someone was going to blackmail Magic and he just retired; probably something with Magic, Eddie, and Arsenio?

[Konvicted5]

i feel bad for him he has hiv that sucks

[revpar]

He may be a great guy and all,but he is an awful tipper! If only he learned to take care of the "little guy" maybe he would have alot more respect in the service industry.Hey Magic...you know the old saying "You can't take it with you"!

[larrelove]

yeah I live in chicago and Jordan is a greate tipper! every time I help him with his bags he gives me $100 and a swift smack on the ass. how bout that one

[aeroemilio]

just magic!!!!

[hakfukwoon]

May God be with you Magic! Thank you for everything you have done and everything you are doing

[thekb32]

best gaurd of all time

[Fabiomelanitto]

magic will be always a leader

[MichApple1987]

I truly respect him!

[jackie86]
