Magic Johnson: My Life

Magic Johnson: My Life
by Earvin Johnson
My Life Earvin "Magic" Johnson by Earvin Johnson, was a great biographic book, it was about the NBA all star.
It talks about how his life, from when he was a kid was just completely focused on 1 thing.
It brings up his childhood, how and where he grew up, and what it was like for him. Personally, I think "Magic"
Johnson is a great idol to those that would like to successfully make it something they want to achieve. Not only
sports reading this book showed me that there are always ups and downs in life, and if you want to make it
somewhere, never to give not even if you start to think that it's not meant for you, never give up. There were many
times in this autobiography that I was amazed that he never broke on the inside, he had to go through some
rough things throughout his life, but he still worked on getting better and never quitting.
This man has been trying to make positive changes in other teens lives too, so this proves that he is trying to
make it so teenagers don't make some of the same mistakes as he made. Which by doing this helps by providing
knowledge from his life and telling them if he could go back he would never had some things, and I'd agree too, I
think everyone has things in their life they'd want to go back in time and erase but never have the chance to
because time machines aren't real. This amazing auto biography talks about his career in the NBA, and an illness
he contracted, and still has to this day. Just because he as it, it still hasn't stopped him from doing the things he
loves, like showing up on NBA halftime reports and other things like these too.
And yes I would strongly recommend this book to anyone who is interested to learn about a life of an NBA all star,
and how he got to be who he is today.|Written in 1992 this book is dated and focuses heavily on the events in
Magic's life at that time, mainly his contracting the HIV virus. These are both understandable. In fact, I enjoyed
researching him further on the Internet to see what has happened to him in the last 20 years.
The book is a fun read about the life of this amazing athlete who conquered everything in the world of basketball
from high school championship to college championship to multiple NBA championships to NBA MVP awards to a
gold medal. Amazing! Given he is still alive and still doing commentary on TV 20 years after getting HIV when

back then it was a death warrant is equally amazing.
If you are interested in sports or basketball, I'm sure you'll enjoy this book. Happy reading.|I read My Life, by Earvin
“Magic” Johnson. This book included Earvin Johnson, his wife, Cookie, and his dad, Earvin Sr. It starts with his 4
years in high school and ends with him playing his last game as a professional basketball player, or from 19771992. Earvin decided to write a memoir of his life after he was drafted with the first pick in the 1979 NBA Draft to
the Los Angeles Lakers. This was the start of his professional basketball career. In college, Magic, Michigan St.,
beat Larry Bird, Indiana St., in the 1979 National Championship...the start of one of the greatest rivalries in sports
history. He then went on to win 4 NBA championships in the 1980s with the Lakers, beating the Celtics, Larry Bird’s
team, in 2 of those championships. On November 7, 1991, Earvin announced to the world that he was diagnosed
with HIV. He has his own foundation which raises money for AIDS/HIV research, Magic Johnson Foundation. Even
after he was diagnosed with HIV Magic still got the opportunity to play on the 1992 U.S. Olympic “Dream Team.”
This team had 11 of 12 players inducted in the Hall of Fame (Christian Laettner wasn’t inducted).
This book was great from my standpoint. Earvin knew how to get you to keep reading with the perfect mix of
basketball and his personal life. He also knew when to be funny and when to be serious. Towards the end, he also
got emotional and inspirational when talking about the Magic Johnson Foundation and his fight against HIV and
AIDS. The only bad thing with this book was that Earvin got a little too deep with the little things that don’t matter,
like when he talked about hotels and bus trips when he’s on the road.
I loved this book because of how Earvin kept me reading with a mix of basketball and personal life. He did this
when he was diagnosed with HIV and switched from a basketball perspective to an everyday person perspective,
talking about his personal life. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes sports and inspirational stories.
|Produkcja odnosząca się do życia nikogo innego jak samego Earvina "Magika" Johnsona jest moją pierwszą a
zarazem ulubioną produkcją biograficzną, traktującą o zawodniku sportowym.
Dlaczego takie a nie inne zdanie?
Produkcja nie skupia się na przedstawianiu Magika jako geniusza nad geniuszami w każdym aspekcie życia - tylko
z racji tego, że jest postacią, którą każdy fan koszykówki jednym tchem wymieni w zestawieniu z innymi wielkimi
pomarańczowej piłki. Jest to przygoda po prywatnym życiu Pana Johnsona, które spokojnie mogłoby obdarować
swoją fabułą kilka wielkich produkcji kinowych. Nie ma znaczenia, czy aktualnie poruszany jest problem seksu,
mniejszości narodowych, AIDS czy też uwczesnego stylu życia, jakim prowadzili się koszykarscy bogowie - tu
wszystko ma swój cel i przesłanie, nic nie zostało 'wciśnięte' na siłę. Co więcej, książka służy za świetny sposób do
nadrobienia lekcji historii, odnoszącej się tak do koszykówki jak i problemów etnicznych które wręcz
emanowały/określały Amerykę opisywanych lat. Osobiście, jako osoba całkiem młodego pokolenia, której z racji
młodego wieku - góra część kariery bohatera, umknęła jeszcze przed rozpoczęciem kształtowania zainteresowań
związanych z koszykówką, uważam, że opisywana biografia, udostępniła mi więcej informacji przydatnych przy
późniejszej obronie pracy dyplomowej na studiach, opierającej swoje zagadnienia o problemy etniczne Ameryki
niż większa część niezdarnych lekcji historii prowadzonych od niechcenia w Polskich placówkach edukacyjnych.
Podsumowując: to trzeba przeczytać.|One of the biggest books i ever had to read , my coach forced me to read it
because he didn't want non of us to get get off into woman on games. This book was very influencing i hate that i
had to read tons of pages. But its a good book for basketball players it may take time but once you realize.As a
young person you have nothing but time on your hands. Magic Johnson one the greatest went through it all this
should give teens a state of mid to use protection . You know it a great book once your mom makes you finish it.
This book comes across many ways either to have you understand or get you to realize what you are doing with
woman now a days. This show how it a cold world and all people want to is take your money and take advantage
of you until they see you dead . Now this is a great book for our boy basketball time, i like that it come from a line
of basketball, but i hated that book was to long to get across some books just need to dive into the conclusion!
