This movie tells about Magic's life and what happened when he was diagnosed with HIV. He talks about how he was treated as a player with HIV in the NBA. It also tells how his life was before the NBA. It is all in all a pretty good book.

I have not seen a movie for this book.

The book was pretty good although I would not recommend it to anyone who doesn't admire sports. Especially basketball, because the book is mainly about basketball. Magic Johnson is a legend though, so I would say everyone. The writer does a good job displaying Earvin's talents and abilities as well as his life so far.

Magic Johnson, Basketball Great written by Sean Dolan, is one of many biography written about Earvin “Magic” Johnson. Earvin is a nationally known figure in the basketball world. He is mostly known not for his terrific plays and great passes, but being the national recognized person to be infected with HIV. This book talks about Earvin’s entire life from childhood to now. It is full of great information about Magic and would be a great read for anyone who wants to learn about him.
