Magic Johnson's phone call to Larry Bird and Michael Jordan formed the 'Dream Team' after HIV diagnosis
Los Angeles Lakers icon Earvin 'Magic' Johnson has always been more than just a basketball player. That was never more evident than his early retirement in 1992 after he was diagnosed with HIV. “I just said, ‘you know what? I’m just going to be Earvin Johnson’,” the American idol recalls. “And then the greatest thing happened, which was the Dream Team.”
