In this remarkable autobiography, Earvin "Magic" Johnson writes of his life - of his family and friends, his astonishing basketball career, and his brave fight against the virus that causes AIDS - with the candor, charm and spirit that have made him one of the most beloved sports figures of our time. Magic Hohnson has always been more than just another basketball star. Since 1979 he has been the game's premier point guard, leading the Los Angeles Lakers to five NBA titles - a player who made everyone around him loos as dazzling as he did. Off the court, his exuberant smile and lack of pretension made his a favorite of fans all over the world. My Life gives fresh and revealing insights about Magic Johnson's legendary basketball career. He takes us inside his championship season at Michigan State, the 'Showtime' years with the Lakers, and his most recent triumphs in the 1992 All-Star Game and with the 'Dream Team' at the Summer Olympics in Barcelona. Magic writes candidly of his teammates, coaches, friends, and rivals, including Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Pat Riley, Larry Bird, Michael Jordan and Isiah Thomas.

Synopsis:
On November 7, 1991 Magic Johnson, icon of the American basketball courts, announced that he was retiring from the professional game because he had been diagnozed as HIV positive. His announcement stunned America and sent shockwaves around the world. From his childhood in Michigan, Magic Johnson has had a successful life. The ultimate team player, he led the Los Angeles Lakers to five National Basketball Association championships in the 1980s. His unselfishness, his leadership and his sheer talent made everyone who played with him look as dazzling as he did. His brilliance as a basketball player has been matched by his enormous personal popularity. This is the story of Magic Johnson's life: his boyhood, his high school and college careers, his meteoric rise to basketball fame as a Laker, his glamourous life on the road, his hopes, fears, fulfilments and regrets. Magic writes about his family, the important women in his life, his teammates and his coaches, and about being a symbol and a role model.
