Earvin "Magic" Johnson
|
||
|
||
|
||
This is a book report on a basketball star by the name of Earvin "Magic"
|
||
|
||
Johnson. Basketball entered Earvin's scope of interest during the early
|
||
|
||
childhood stages of his life. He was raised in the west side of Michigan where
|
||
|
||
basketball there was known throughout the state as a giant powerhouse. All
|
||
|
||
through the junior high school years of his life he played on the school team,
|
||
|
||
at Everett High, and the team were consistent winners. Because of his
|
||
|
||
outstanding play, he was invited to join some of the best college basketball
|
||
|
||
teams in the nation. Some of his choices were North Carolina, Michigan, Notre
|
||
|
||
Dame, Maryland and UCLA. The highlight of his recruitment process came when
|
||
|
||
Indiana came down to play Michigan State. Bobby Knight, the coach for the
|
||
|
||
Indiana basketball team who was a legend at the time, paid Earvin a visit.
|
||
|
||
Although he was honored to be selected by Knight, Earvin was not promised a
|
||
|
||
starting position on the team, so he turned that school down also. For his
|
||
|
||
final choice, Earvin finally decided to attend Michigan State where he would
|
||
|
||
be gauranteed a starting position. The team, who finished 10-17 the previous
|
||
|
||
year, needed some new blood and Earvin said that,"The University of Michigan
|
||
|
||
would be a contender with me or without me. But Michigan State would be a lot
|
||
|
||
better with me."
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Earvin "Magic" Johnson was born on August 14, 1959, and the middle of
|
||
|
||
seven children. He was raised in Lansing, Michigan, about a half-hour from
|
||
|
||
Detroit. He and his family squeezed into three small bedrooms ont he second
|
||
|
||
floor which was always crowded because of the amount of people in the house
|
||
|
||
all the time. With so many kids in the family to take care constantly, his
|
||
|
||
parents didn't really have a lot of money to spend but they always had enough
|
||
|
||
to eat and tended to get along fine without any major financial problems.
|
||
|
||
Earvin attended Everett High School, where basketball was known throughout
|
||
|
||
the state of Michigan as a basketball powerhouse. Everyone in the
|
||
|
||
neighborhood supported the school and went to all of their games since it was
|
||
|
||
such a big event at the time. Earvin was part of the varsity basketball squad
|
||
|
||
and sent his team to the state championships in 1976. The team became state
|
||
|
||
champions during that year which happened to be Earvin's senior year there.
|
||
|
||
Because of such national and local attention upon the team and himself he was
|
||
|
||
looked upon but numbers of college scouts. His final choice was to go to The
|
||
|
||
University of Michigan where he was much needed because of the teams previous
|
||
|
||
season record of 10-17. Michigan State was in the Big Ten which is one of the
|
||
|
||
hardest conferences in NCAA basketball to play in. Earvin boosted the teams
|
||
|
||
confidence in the very first year and improved their record to 25-5 which was
|
||
|
||
an outstanding turn-around from the previous years.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
An experience that had a strong influence on Earvin had to be the most
|
||
|
||
popular of his problems - his announcement of the AIDS virus. Earvin had
|
||
|
||
already played a number of strong solid years in the National Basketball
|
||
|
||
Association (NBA) and had announced his retirement due to his infection with
|
||
|
||
the HIV virus, which causes AIDS. For a while he was feeling much remorse
|
||
|
||
over this because the public wanted him to still play. But he got his chance.
|
||
|
||
He was elected to play on the United States Olympic team in the 1992 Summer
|
||
|
||
Olympics in Barcelona. He and other members of the team such as Michael
|
||
|
||
Jordan, Charles Barkley, and Patrick Ewing led the United States to a gold
|
||
|
||
medal and finished the games with a perfect record, going undefeatedagainst
|
||
|
||
all the foreign countries they played. But still the fact remained that he
|
||
|
||
was infected with the AIDS virus. So instead of worrying about his disease,
|
||
|
||
he formed many AIDS research programs to help find a cure for the disease
|
||
|
||
which is sweeping the nation. So far, Earvin has helped to raise over $6
|
||
|
||
million for AIDS research.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
The only unusual qualities or abilites that may have contributed to
|
||
|
||
Magic Johnson's fame and success is something that not every person is born
|
||
|
||
with - outstanding height and incredible vision. Johnson, being 6' 6", he
|
||
|
||
towered over most opponents by "slamming" over them. This also contributed
|
||
|
||
to his Most Valuable Player awards, which he recieved three times for his
|
||
|
||
scoring and playing ability. Another thing Magic may have been noted for is
|
||
|
||
his vision. In basketball vision is probably more important than skills
|
||
|
||
itself. You have to know where all the players are and who to give it to in
|
||
|
||
order to have effective scoring. Johnson was known for the "no-look" , behind
|
||
|
||
the back, and bounce passes. His passing and skills led his team, the Los
|
||
|
||
Angeles Lakers, to much success over his span with the team.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Several of Earvin "Magic" Johnson's outstanding accomplishments would
|
||
|
||
have to start with his fame and fortune in the NBA. He played for the Lakers
|
||
|
||
since 1979 and was named the NBA's Most Valuable Player three times. Another
|
||
|
||
of Johnson's accomplishments is bringing home the gold from Barcelona in the
|
||
|
||
1992 Summer Olympics. He was named to the team because of his partial
|
||
|
||
commitment to the Lakers before announcing his retirement because of the HIV
|
||
|
||
virus. He played with the best of the best including great players such as
|
||
|
||
Michael Jordan, Charles Barkley, and the legendary Larry Bird. This
|
||
|
||
astonishing team was referred to by many Americans as "The Dream Team". A
|
||
|
||
suitable name for the right people since they were undefeated in the games,
|
||
|
||
totally obliterating each opponent without much trouble. Another
|
||
|
||
accomplishment in his life that does not have to do with basketball would
|
||
|
||
have to be his founding of the Magic Johnson Foundation, which was put
|
||
|
||
together to help put an end to the AIDS virus which he himself is infected
|
||
|
||
with. He is also the author of his own book about AIDS awareness, "What You
|
||
|
||
Can Do to Avoid AIDS", to try and teach the young Americans about the disease
|
||
|
||
itself and what they can do to prevent themselves from getting the disease.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
The person' that probably had the most effect on his life would have to
|
||
|
||
be his wife, Cookie. He met her during his NBA Lakers carrer during a game at
|
||
|
||
home in the Coliseum. She always stood behind him through everything that he
|
||
|
||
has been through. From the NBA Finals against Chicago to the announcment of
|
||
|
||
his infection with the AIDS virus, she was always there for him. Actaully,
|
||
|
||
his wife helped him set up his foundation for AIDS research so she too could
|
||
|
||
be a part of the fight against the disease. Also another person who is a
|
||
|
||
major part of his life is his son, Earvin Johnson III, who was born on June
|
||
|
||
15, 1992. The baby was tested for the AIDS virus which he may have obtained
|
||
|
||
from Earvin but the tests came back negative. Johnson would like to see his
|
||
|
||
son, Earvin, follow in his footsteps and be another NBA great like he himself
|
||
|
||
was.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
One of the biggest problems that arose during Magic's life would have
|
||
|
||
to be his announcment that he had contracted the AIDS virus and was forced to
|
||
|
||
retire from the NBA under advice from his doctors. This was a major blow not
|
||
|
||
only to the team but the general public also. The team was not expecting it
|
||
|
||
and neither was anyone else. This was very hard for Johnson to explain
|
||
|
||
because he loved the sport of basketball and didn't want to leave the team or
|
||
|
||
the sport forever. He resolved this by conquering his fear of eventual death
|
||
|
||
and did something about it. He set up thousands of organizations to help
|
||
|
||
inform people about the virus and to keep them aware of the disease that is
|
||
|
||
becoming a major problem in the United States today. He set up his own
|
||
|
||
organization, the Magic Johnson Foundation which has already helped to
|
||
|
||
raise over $6 million in funds to help find a cure for the AIDS virus.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Three incidents that I would feature in a movie of Magic Johnson's life
|
||
|
||
would have to be chronologically in the following order (A,B,C) :
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
A: His acception into the University of Michigan and bringing them to the
|
||
|
||
national finals in only their second season. He brought the teams record up
|
||
|
||
drastically and boosted the teams confidence for many years to come.
|
||
|
||
|
||
B: His carrer in the NBA with the Los Angeles Lakers. He brought this
|
||
|
||
team to two back-to-back National Championships. He was the Most Valuable
|
||
|
||
Player for three years in a row during his reign over the L.A. Lakers. He
|
||
|
||
also dazzled many basketball fans around the world with his passes and
|
||
|
||
miraculous shots to win the game in the final seconds.
|
||
|
||
|
||
C: Finally I would bring up his dedication to the foundation for the
|
||
|
||
research of AIDS. He is dedicating most of his life to the research for
|
||
|
||
finding the final cure for the AIDS virus.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
This book has had a slight influence on me and my way of thinking and
|
||
|
||
view upon life. I think that Magic Johnson had a large impact on the world's
|
||
|
||
view upon life in general. His perspective on life is to never give up. Also
|
||
|
||
his view on life was to strive for your goals no matter how big the obstacle
|
||
|
||
is that stands in your way.
