That’s right, I went there. Why?
On October 8th, on the Minneapolis based The Chris Baker Show, Baker and Perry agreed that Magic Johnson “faked AIDS.”
Let me say that again.
Baker and Perry were in agreement that one of the greatest NBA players in the history of the game, lied about his HIV diagnosis at a time when there was immense social stigma associated with the disease. He retired, leaving behind tens of millions of dollars in salary and endorsements, and a throng of adoring Lakers fans, on a lie.
Unbelievable, right? Believe it.
In light of his diagnosis, Johnson started the Magic Johnson Foundation, which has raised millions of dollars for HIV/AIDS education and supported minority athletes from all over the country.
To sum up:
Chris Baker and Langdon Perry blow. And Magic Johnson has managed to live a fuller life and help more people, even with his HIV diagnosis, than Baker and Perry have probably ever met.
