Mi vida

In this autobiography, Earvin "Magic" Johnson writes about his own life, his family and friends, his incredible basketball career, and his courageous fight against the virus that causes AIDS; and he does so with the spontaneity, charm and fearlessness that have made him one of the most beloved sports figures of our time. My Life offers a revealing insight into the legendary player's career, thirty years after HIV precipitated his retirement from the pitch. From his childhood in a humble family in Lansing to his triumphant farewell to the Dream Team at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, to his indelible legacy with the Showtime Lakers. Magic writes simply and honestly about his teammates, coaches and rivals, such as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Pat Riley, Larry Bird, Michael Jordan or Isiah Thomas. The result is a personal and intimate account of an incomparable character, but also a portrait of the golden age of the NBA by one of its main protagonists.
